Sweet place

This was my daughters favorite place on our London trip. Cute little sandwiches and scones. Tea was nice. Felt very authentic. Close to Buckingham Palace which was a nice stop after visiting.

Lovely Tea House - very reasonable and good location!

A very lovely Tea House indeed. Went for the first time yesterday and definitely will visit again. Great interior design and the tea for two was very nice. Friendly accommodating staff and great background music.

AMAZING AND DELIGHTFUL FIND

While out walking in London recently I happened to pass this lovely cafe. I walked in and was made to feel really welcome. What a little gem the breakfast I ordered was delicious freshly cooked and nothing was too much trouble. Before leaving I spotted...some plain scones (my favourite) so basically had a scone aswell. I will definitely be returning to this cafe its amazing. Thanks to all at the English Rose Cafe.More

Lovely (and cheap!) afternoon tea

Yesterday I had a lovely afternoon tea with a couple of friends at the English Rose Cafe: we had a generous pot of Earl gray tea with delicious scones, finger sandwiches, macaroons, brownies and cake. Everything was super tasty and incredibly cheap (just 15 pounds...for each person) and the girls who served us were really nice and friendly. The tea room is lovely, even the toilets were cute and spotless! We had a wonderful time and it's just five minutes away from Victoria station so it's easily reachable from every part of the town. Definitely worth to try!More

Amazing!

My parents and I had breakfast at the English rose café last February. It was our last day in London and we wanted to try the typical English breakfast and although we had arrived only few minutes before 12pm they cooked us our English breakfast....All the waiters are so kind! The food is really good and the room is really cute, the walls, the decorations! I definitely recommend this cafe and i can't wait to be back in London to visit them again!More

Perfect spot for afternoon tea!

Was greeted with a big smile as we entered the cafe and was given a table straight away, the decor was beautifully done and in a perfect location just a stone throw from Buckingham palace, to top it off we had the best afternoon tea...we have ever had especially after a long morning exploring London even had a little bottle of prosecco too! Cant wait to go back!More

Westminster

If you only had an afternoon to experience London on a
grand scale, Westminster would be a wise place to
start. The ornate Houses of Parliament and Westminster
Abbey sit adjacent at a corner of Parliament Square,
and a short stroll along The Mall leads to Buckingham
Palace. Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column are just
up the road as well. As captivating as the
architecture is, the wonders of Mother Nature are
