Best Afternoon Tea Restaurants in Barbican

I was a little bit disappointed as I came last year with work colleagues and there were 2 massive Christmas trees outside the entrance and carol singers as you walked in. This year were a couple of bare branches with a few bows on and no carol singers. I wanted to bring my family as I had such a lovely time last year but as I said it was a little different this year. My family still enjoyed the experience as they had never been before so had nothing to compare it to. I would still go again.

Afternoon tea at the savoy is a lovely! We had come up from Eastbourne and just been to the Van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery and then walked round to the savoy. We have been a couple of times, and really enjoy it. It is know in the newly refurbished room with very comfy chairs...... important for tea i think. Er added a glass of champagne each before we started which as they have a good selection to choose from was well worth it. One of the gueast was gluten free and there selection was as lovely as the others. There was no feeling that you have to finish then leave which happens in some other afternon teas, we have tried a few, and we keeping coming back to the savoy. Te staff where lovely, inarticular the man who explained all abut the ball room down stairs, whichn we went tom see. i loved thhe pictures of Guests around the htel, and particuarily liked the pictures on the wall of the ballet dancers. The addition of the bar in the room works very well.

The food is superb but even with plenty of empty tables lunchtime service was slow - took an hour to be served our first course.

This was way bwtter then few years ago, So delicates sweets & rich well balanced savouries! Tea selection was great and service attentive!

Lovely setting for a delicious afternoon tea food was great
