    This was our first time having afternoon tea and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The Gallery was beautiful with a wonderful atmosphere that was energetic but sophisticated. We were slightly intimidated about not being fully aware of the etiquette of afternoon tea but we were made to feel very comfortable with the wait staff. The piano and singer were a lovely touch as well! The tea and food were scrumptious and presented so beautifully! We will absolutely return upon our next trip to London.
