ABOUT US

Latte and black coffee with cookies on a table.

“Rooted in Tradition. Driven by Detail.”

At Afternoon Tea in LDN, we believe hospitality should be as thoughtful as it is beautiful. Founded in London, our mission is to make afternoon tea more accessible — not just as a meal, but as a social experience worth remembering.

We’ve delivered tea to rooftops in Shoreditch, riverside flats in Putney, boardrooms in Holborn, and stately homes in Richmond. Every event is different — and we treat it that way.

Our promise? Polished service, effortless hosting, and delightful details — every time.
