Curated by Chef Roger Hutchinson, our Afternoon Tea draws inspiration from Constance Spry — the visionary florist and culinary pioneer who beautifully combined food and flowers to create enchanting dining experiences.
For guests staying at Montcalm Mayfair Townhouse, this experience offers more than a traditional Afternoon Tea. Set in the heart of Mayfair, it is a celebration of conversation, culture, and curiosity, while paying tribute to the legacy of Elizabeth Montagu, founder of the Blue Stockings Society and advocate of refined gatherings and progressive thought.
The tea selection is a bespoke collaboration with Camellia’s Tea House, renowned for their artisanal, hand-crafted blends, providing a truly memorable and elevated experience for Townhouse guests.
Montcalm Mayfair and Lilli by Akira Back are delighted to partner with the acclaimed production Into The Woods, bringing a touch of woodland whimsy to our signature afternoon tea experience. Once a flourishing forest, the land where Montcalm Mayfair now stands provides a fitting backdrop—echoing the very journey taken by the Baker and his Wife in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s beloved musical.
Guests of Montcalm Mayfair Townhouse are invited to immerse themselves even further in the enchantment, with exclusive access to this themed afternoon tea and curated experiences inspired by the production. Whether you’re staying with us or simply joining for the occasion, it’s a chance to step into a world where fairy tales come to life.

Traditional afternoon tea includes delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones (with clotted cream and strawberry jam), and a selection of perfectly prepared dessert treats. All served with a nice hot pot of tea (or teas), and perhaps even a glass or two of bubbles.

What makes afternoon tea in London special?
England is the birthplace of afternoon tea, and enjoying this perfect blend of tradition and artistry in the capital city is, for many, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. There’s something truly wonderful about taking a break in the middle of a busy city and enjoying a moment of peaceful tranquillity, particularly when it’s accompanied by delicious food!
Do you need to book afternoon tea in advance?
We highly recommend booking your afternoon tea in advance. Although we will do our best to accommodate walk-in bookings, afternoon tea in London is an incredibly popular activity and spaces can be limited.

At Montcalm Mayfair, the answer is yes. We even have a special afternoon tea menu for younger children, featuring some more child-friendly snacks and a couple of extra treats for good measure.
How long does afternoon tea last?
We generally recommend allowing 90 minutes for your afternoon tea seating. This allows you to sit back and enjoy afternoon tea as it was meant to be enjoyed; in a leisurely, relaxed manner with plenty of time for tea (and Champagne) between bites.
Where in London does the best afternoon tea?
Mayfair, Marylebone, and Park Lane are all renowned for their afternoon teas. At Montcalm Mayfair, we sit on the edge of both Mayfair and Marylebone, so it’s safe to say our afternoon tea one of the capital’s top options.
