Where magic stirs and mischief brews…

Step into the enchanted realm of Shakespeare’s beloved woodland tale, brought deliciously to life at Kona, the award-winning dining destination at Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences. From 25th April this extraordinary, themed experience transforms the classic afternoon tea into a five-act sensory performance inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Amid fairy décor and bespoke crockery, each course evokes the magic and emotion of the play: from Thyme Roasted Chicken with Apricot Mayo to a Dark Chocolate Heart that captures love’s bittersweet twists. Taste the unexpected with Puck’s Mischief, a playful mocktail, and sip on the Elixir of Enchantment, a bespoke tea blend infused with green tea, mulberry, cranberry and lingonberry.

Outside, the hotel’s historic courtyard — home to the world’s longest Shakespearean frieze — sets the stage for your own midsummer dream.

Whether you’re a Shakespeare enthusiast, a lover of the whimsical, or simply seeking one of London’s most unique afternoon teas, this is your invitation to be spellbound.

Vegetarian and vegan options available.

A Midsummer Night's Dream Afternoon Tea is available from £75 per person and 50% off children aged 4 - 11.
