   Voted 2 stars overall. Food was overpriced but mostly the ambiance was ruined as they let a hen party “scream” for several hours. It’s afternoon tea not a night club, staff did nothing to quieten the group meaning we had to start shouting to even have a conversation. They were told to quieten but was fallen on deaf ears. Food was 4/5 stars and staff were very polite. If they manage their noise level to be as expected at an afternoon tea then has the potential to be good. But overall extremely overpriced, ridiculously poor atmosphere, so will not ever be coming back.

   I've been the third time already - it's a great experience, well worth the money and a must-do when in London.

    Went for afternoon tea experience for an early valentines day. The staff from entry to table service were cold, or mostly absent from the dining area. At one point, 2 male waiters were speaking loudly with each other about a group of girls at another table and which they'd sleep with, served one table, then disappeared. The seating was cramped, with risk to your heads from plates being transferred. The savoury parts were cold. The salmon sandwich was dry. A few parts had 1 sad looking leaf as decor. Desserts were lovely. Scones were okay, the jam was nice. On the positive, there was enough that we were full. Wrong tea provided at start. Additional tea is £4.5 per pot (which were half filled), and this is not mentioned at all on the menu or whilst being seated. The decor was nice, and the new female staff member offered to take our pictures. There was little enforcement of the time requirement, possibly due to many of the tables being empty. Value was poor for the service and quality of food. There are better afternoon tea experiences for better pricepoints. Service charge is 15%. Overall, a disappointing experience.
