The four star Radisson Blu Vanderbilt hotel, once the London residence of the Vanderbilt family, boasts one of the best locations in upmarket South Kensington. Many original features have been carefully restored to their former glory including stained glass windows, wood panelled rooms and its magnificent artistic ceiling. Roaring fires, sumptuous furnishings, and original artwork have been added to provide a luxurious homely feel.

Afternoon Tea is served in Scoff & Banter, an ideal retreat after a day of London shopping or sightseeing at Harrods, Harvey Nichols or the Natural History Museum, which are all close to the hotel.

Their luxurious Afternoon Tea menu includes a selection of homemade sandwiches on artisan breads, freshly-baked plain and raisin scones with strawberry preserve and Cornish clotted cream, and a an array of seasonal inspired patisseries.
