Afternoon Tea has been served at The Savoy, throughout its entire history.
Served in the famous Thames Foyer and accompanied by the sounds of the resident pianist, Afternoon Tea consists of a mouth-watering array of sanwiches with a variety of fresh fillings, delicate pastries and teacakes and scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve. There is also a wide range of distinct blends of tea to choose from, imported by specialist tea suppliers from around the world.

Taking tea at Raffles Brown's Hotel is as much as a British institution as rowing at the Henley Royal Regatta, tennis at Wimbledon, or 'having a flutter' at Royal Ascot.
Hotel guests have been regularly taking tea at Brown's for over 160 years, ever since James Brown - Lord Byron's 'gentleman's gentleman' established the hotel as a 'genteel inn' in 1837.
Agatha Christie was one of the many famous guests, which regularly took tea at the hotel. She loved the hotel so much, that she based 'At Bertram's Hotel' on Brown's. Readers of the novel will agree that the hotel provides a perfect backdrop for a mystery on a grand scale.
Afternoon tea is served in the Drawing Room, with its wood paneling, open fires and graceful antique furnishings, offering all the comforts of an English country house in the heart of the city.
The Drawing Room regularly offers special seasonal teas, which are very popular. Winter Christmas tea, Special Easter Tea, and Agatha Christie Afternoon Tea have been some of the irresistible seasonal teas, which are extremely popular.
The price of Afternoon Tea is £25.00 per person or £35.50 with a glass of champagne. A choice of 11 different varieties of tea are available ranging from Brown's Afternoon Blend to various flower infusions, together with a selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, bridge rolls, warm scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve, cakes and pastries.
Accompanied by the sounds of the resident pianist, afternoon tea is served seven days a week from 2.00pm to 6.00pm. Reservations are taken Monday to Friday at 2.00p.m. 3.45p.m. or 5.30p.m. Reservations are highly recommended during the week, and at weekends we operate on a first come first serve basis. In order to secure a table guests are advised to arrive by 2.00p.m. promptly.
In order to retain an element of past traditions and to keep the occasion special, visitors are requested to dress in a smart casual manner.
