I often go to Palm Court when visiting London, perhaps 4 or 5 times a year. I just love this place. The ambiance is great, and the food is always spot on and excellent value for central London. I also like that the staff seem relatively unchanged so it must be a decent place to work also.

Tea at the NoMad was incredible. The tea room was beautiful and the presentation and food were excellent. All of the staff were very very nice and when I said how much I loved the cucumber sandwiches they brought me two extra! I highly recommend high tea here.
