What’s the best afternoon tea in London? This is a question I get a lot, so I decided to compare three of the top afternoon teas in London so you can figure out which tea experience is best for your next visit. In this video, come with me to the Rosewood hotel, Fortnum & Mason, and Ting at the Shangri-La hotel in The Shard to see how they compare on price, location, food and service.

This was helpful actually, thanks.
Hi, I have a question is the price for 2 or price per person ?
Less commercial and I would have listened to the whole video.
do they have eggless desserts and stuffs?
What a great way to spend an afternoon
Shangri-La gets my vote. I saw a programme about the Corinthia London, first episode dealt a lot with them devising their new afternoon tea. Was interesting seeing the thought that went into it.
What fone was that again 🙂
These look great!
Can 2 persons enjoy one single menu?the restaurant allows it?
What amazing experience all of 3! Love it
Absolutely…..fabulous Vlog. You should be a tourism ambassador for London.
Love your footage, what camera 🎥 do you use? The quality is great x
How much without the champange?
What would you recommend? The Ting or Oblix?
Fortnum & Mason afternoon tea is the best of British
is this a phone commercial? It starts to feel like one fast.
First is that a Zimmerman dress? SUPER CUTE. Is the champagne 🍾 included?
Thank you for walking us through these details! Going to London for a month and I definitely need to try one of these places for tea!
I've never had an Afternoon tea before in my entire life! Please I wanna and love to experience it! 😭😭😭😭😭
The dry ice is so cool
I am definitely going to shangri-la … but where did you get that gorgeous dress??
Hi! Did you have to order the Asian theme in order to have the dry ice feature/ surprise?
nice explanation
Hi Jess, I'm visiting London very soon and afternoon tea is very high on my list of things to do. I do have one question though: in places as "posh" as Fortnum and Mason, is it acceptable to come dressed casually or will the staff frown on me turning up in a t-shirt? I've put some money aside for it but I'm afraid to feel a bit out of place
Are all three places about the same in price? Do you need a reservation? What is the best time to arrive for high tea and when is the best time/day to go for high tea when there are fewer people? Thanks for answering all my questions!
wow, this will be amazing experience, spent the very first few days in London and loving it! so much to do and so much to experience….thank you Jess for filling up our bucket list😂. Do you have a suggestion for experiencing the afternoon tea as a first-timer towards NW London? The photos from Google Pixel looked amazing…no less than any hifi DSLR!
We only do F&M
F&m for me 👍
Loved this! My first video seeing you! Great choices to sample these 3 afternoon teas. Would love to visit all three! I definitely liked the variety and contrast between each location. Thank you!
This is a really great video. I learned a lot. It all looked yummy and yet different, not boring at all. I like the template that you used for each of the teas. But I gotta ask, after 3 cream teas in one day, did your tummy hurt? But otherwise, the whole video was very cool. Loved the Champagne Challenge. Very nice.
Next time, try Mariage Frères in Covent Garden.
AWESOME VIDEO. THANKS.
Beautiful video. Thank you for the quality, FREE content you produce. Visiting London soon and we are loving this guide for our first tea time there!
I found this video informative and great. Sure there’s a pixel 5 in there but it in no way detracted from the experience. I was happy to not have an ad at the beginning or the middle so if that meant Integrated content, bring it on! The only downside is I can’t decide which of the 3 to do so I may have to pick all of them!
So this is more less a add for the phone..More intrested in the different teas.
I love all the teas in London fond of Fortnum buy so much of their teas I do love the Ritz also problem is there are so many they are all good.
Are the prices per person or based on 2 people sharing? X
Is it expensive? How much is more and less ?
My wife just purchased a very nice tea pot from Fortnum & Mason a few hours ago!
Wow sounds gorgeous, luved the 3 different choices of venue.
My favourite afternoon tea is at Sketch of Regent St, I cannot wait to revisit.
I need a tea spot that’s more for common folks like me..nothing too frou frou.
❤️
You did 3 teas in one day? First thought it was done over 3 days, but realized you had the same dress on.
Do you have a sister who is an actress? If not, you certainly have a doppelgänger!
Just perhaps. This is simple concept!
But could you mention you phone 1000 more times . I didn't get name of the device the first 100 mentions.
I now know everything about the google pixel🤪
