I had the most wonderful afternoon tea experience at The Savoy! From the moment I stepped in, the elegant ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable treat. The selection of teas was exquisite, perfectly complementing the beautifully presented finger sandwiches, warm scones, and delicate pastries. Each bite was a delightful blend of flavor and craftsmanship. The service was impeccable, and the live piano music added a magical touch to the atmosphere. A truly indulgent experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a luxurious afternoon in London.

Food was fabulous - we had breakfast/brunch and it was really good quality. We had an issue with our order being misplaced so we had to wait a long time for the staff to notice and rectify. However, it’s how you deal with problems that delivers satisfied customers who will recommend: Maria and Nelson were excellent and we were very pleased and will return.
