  • Afternoon Tea in The Library at NoMad London

    £75.00 per person

    Apr 10, 2025 - May 8, 2025
    * Due to refurbishments in the NoMad Restaurant, we will be serving Afternoon Tea in the Library from April 10th to May 8th. Our Afternoon Tea honours the timeless British tradition with a whimsical NoMad twist. Expect elevated finger sandwiches, a selection of scones and an artful composition of sweets, served alongside a tea inspired cocktail menu crafted by our legendary bar team. Of course, a selection of teas from London's own Rare Tea Company will be featured, and the experience includes a 100ml glass of Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs — a beautiful English sparkling wine, per person. Afternoon Tea is served Thursdays to Sundays, from 2-4pm at a set menu price of £75 per person. Please note that providing credit card details is not a pre-payment and serves only to guarantee your booking; payment for the Afternoon Tea experience always takes place at the Library Bar.

    Gorgeous setting, lovely atmosphere and perfect service. And the food was fast bar food - simple but well done and still elegant. We loved our pre theatre dining.

    The place is beautiful: it´s surrounded by books. We had a salad and lobster pasta and both were amazing. It was my friend´s birthday and they brought an ice cream with a candle. I could bring my little dog, Tofi. I strongly recommend the place.

    We love the library & the space vibe! Unfortunately, the lady who served us was not very helpful & full of herself. I can tell she is a bit arrogant! It was my birthday-couldn’t decide which cocktail I should go for & she was not happy to provide any oppinon of the cocktail. It makes me uncomfortable & a bit sad.😔

    Absolutely stunning decor! Really lovely atmosphere although the drinks were slightly too sweet and spiced but the ambience made up for it. The staff, a part from the welcome desk, left A LOT to be desired! Moody, dismissive and borderline rude! Terribly disappointing.
