\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does traditional afternoon tea include?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What time is afternoon tea served in London?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afternoon tea usually begins at 12pm, with final seating taking place at 4.30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What makes afternoon tea in London special?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s accompanied by delicious food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you need to book afternoon tea in advance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are children welcome at afternoon tea?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long does afternoon tea last?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where in London does the best afternoon tea?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s safe to say our afternoon tea one of the capital&#8217;s top options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-620","restaurants","type-restaurants","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is
