The stunning Sofitel London St James is located in the former home of Cox’s and King’s bank in the very heart of London, England. This sympathetically renovated building is English heritage grade II listed and now houses one of London's most unique five-star hotels - combining traditional British design with a contemporary style that is unmistakably French.

Inspired by the Hotel’s French origins mixed with British influence,
The Rose Lounge brings a mix of classic French flavors whilst also moving away from the standard concept of finger sandwiches by introducing something different to the savory offering with dishes such as aubergine and feta tart or shrimp beignet with lemon mayonnaise.

This theme continues on the sweet side, with a twist on the classic afternoon tea with a chocolate salted caramel and praline délice, Followed by a strawberry and basil tartlet and a lemon madeleine.

    Best service we have ever experienced. The servers we had specifically Georgiana and Romania were the absolute best! They took their time explaining everything to us and did it so perfectly. I really recommend this place for high tea.

    Lovely tea service. I thought the finger sandwiches were a bit underwhelming (desserts were great, so save a lot of room), and it’s not as cool of a spot as some other teas in London. Service was friendly and attentive, and the teas were good.

    The service is outstanding. But, the food. Its so overpriced and yet bland and boring. And If you pay 80 pounds, i expect more than i quarter of a muffin.

    The lighting was low, the room was quiet, it was all quite relaxing as the food was excellent. We really enjoyed the attention and atmosphere. The staff were superb.

    A very special place to have afternoon tea with someone special. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. Not the cheapest afternoon tea but well worth every penny.
