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.

Enjoy seasonal pastries, homemade strawberry ice cream and sorbet served from a bespoke strawberry cart, and a choice of summer-inspired aperitifs.
