Afternoon Tea at the Ritz

Indulge in a quintessential British tradition with Afternoon Tea at The Ritz London. Enjoy finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Cornish clotted cream, and a selection of exquisite pastries and teacakes, replenished on request. Choose from 20 different loose-leaf teas, or add sparkle with a glass of Champagne.

The Ritz offers a signature tableside service with generous slices of cake from the guéridon trolley, changing seasonally to suit your taste. Children can enjoy a specially tailored menu and decaffeinated tea, making it a perfect family experience.

Set in the beautiful Palm Court, enjoy this luxurious tea experience accompanied by live music from the resident pianist. The Ritz is also home to the UK’s only certified Tea Master, Giandomenico Scanu, who sources the finest teas globally. Try the exclusive Ritz Royal Blend Tea, available only at The Ritz

Explore London Like a Royal

London is a city filled with history, tradition, and royalty. From grand palaces to ancient castles, you can visit places where kings and queens have lived, ruled, and made history. Some of these sites are over 900 years old, while others are still used by the royal family today.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk through a real palace, see priceless Crown Jewels, or stand in the same places where royal weddings and coronations have taken place? These famous landmarks tell exciting stories of power, mystery, and tradition

Around The Web

The Royal Arcade London

The Royal Arcade has been at the heart of retailing in Old Bond Street,
one of London’s most exclusive shopping districts, for over 140 years. Housed within a noted Victorian arcade, with a stunning, highly decorative arched roof

A Hidden Historic Courtyard

One of my favourite things about walking around the City of London is the number of hidden pocket parks you find. Many of these are on the sites of old churches and churchyards lost either in the Great Fire or during the Blitz

Theatre Royal Haymarket

Opened in 1821, the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London staged the first matinee in 1873 and has attracted world-renowned talent. It offers four levels of good-view seating

A Fairytale Country Estate with Castle

A country house, romantic garden, 14th century moated castle, all in a beautiful wooded estate. Relax in the garden with a fairytale castle backdrop, with over 770 acres of woodland to explore. Discover the delights of the Victorian country mansion with its secrets and stories; you might meet our much loved cat in residence 'Puss Puss'

Deliciously Light Finger Doughnuts

Indulge in handmade finger doughnuts with a light brioche base and fresh, subtly sweet fillings. No over-the-top sugary fillings, just the perfect balance of flavour and freshness

Visitors guide to Royal Palaces, Castles and Residences in the UK

The United Kingdom is home to some of the most iconic royal palaces, castles and residences in the world. From the towering turrets of Windsor Castle to the elegant interiors of Buckingham Palace, these historic buildings offer a glimpse into the lives of Britain’s royal family.
