Afternoon Tea Awards 2025 - Award of Excellence 

The Langham, London’s new Afternoon Tea celebrates the hotel’s unique heritage as the birthplace of Afternoon Tea during the Victorian era. The Langham, London was the first hotel to serve Afternoon Tea commercially in 1865 and we are very proud to serve our modern interpretation of it.
Everything from the design of the crockery, tea stands and menu curation takes inspiration from our Victorian roots.

When The Langham opened in London in 1865, it became the first hotel in the world to serve afternoon tea. Nearly 160 years later, the original Grand Hotel has launched a new afternoon tea that celebrates this unique culinary history: the tradition of taking tea in the Victorian era and The Langham as the birthplace of afternoon tea as we know it today.

The menu takes you back in time and highlights the hotel's legacy with a modern twist, offering Victorian-inspired cakes, pastries, and sandwiches created by Executive Pastry Chef Andrew Gravett and culinary icon

Set in the heart of the Capital, The Langham, London is just a 5-minute stroll from Oxford Circus Underground Station.
