We visited the Ritz for afternoon tea on a Sunday afternoon. We were warmly greeted at the side entrance and told where to go but everyone stood around in groups until the tables were ready and then joined a queue. We were shown to a table and informed of the different teas and the variety of food which would be... More

My Mum and I went for afternoon tea at the Ritz for my birthday in March well I say afternoon tea it was more like evening tea as our sitting (the only available) was at 1930!!! We were a little early and the staff told us to have a walk round the hotel and look around to which we couldnt... More

Awesome experience, I recommend it to everyone! Was in Dorchester Hotel a year after, it was good, but Ritz afternoon tea was more impressive to me though!

I was recently invited to a family tea at this hotel in London on a Friday afternoon. I am not sure if it is the hotel policy to let anyone in to use their washrooms i.e. curious tourists, etc., but knowing what an esteemed establishment it is I really was concerned about the lack of hygiene and state of the...

Tea at The Ritz is good for your sense of well being .....throwing caution....and the waistband ;) to the wind when I take afternoon tea here. This is an occurrence once every 2 years, I would love to do it more often but I don't think I would fully appreciate the 'specialness' of the occasion, years ago there would be... More
