"Afternoon tea at The Langham has been a tradition since 1865. In the luxurious surroundings of the hotel's Palm Court, you can enjoy finger sandwiches, fresh scones with jam and cream, French pastries and specialist teas. The Langham's afternoon tea is so good, it was named the Tea Guild's Top London Afternoon Tea in 2010."

Condé Nast Traveller

"The hotel's Palm Court is said to be the birthplace of traditional afternoon tea - Napoleon, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Diana, Princess of Wales were all fortified here - and it has won Top London Afternoon Tea in recent years."

Megan Belt

"Ah, The Langham for tea? Excellent choice. You've dressed up, of course, and the top-hatted gentleman nods his approval before opening the door to a most glamorous afternoon tea. Tea in the Palm Court is an elegant affair."

Chris Osburn

"We sampled two of the Palm Court's range of afternoon tea menus, the classic Wonderland Afternoon Tea and the particularly glitzy Bijoux Tea, and loved them both."

Laura Porter

"The Palm Court at The Langham London is famed as the place where the tradition of afternoon tea was born making the Langham London afternoon tea one to note, reminds you of the era when the hotel opened in 1865 when Victorian society gathered to enjoy the indulgent splendors offered by The Langham."

Alicia Grimshaw

"The chocolate afternoon tea at The Langham London brings together exceptional chocolate and freshly made pastries."

Michael Grenville

"If you are an international traveler, traveling to London for shopping and want to treat someone special or meet up with friends, afternoon tea at the Langham would be perfect."

Caroline Palmer

"Step inside and be transported into the most beautiful, peaceful and luxurious interior; the recent renovation clearly had a generous budget. Afternoon tea is served in the Palm Court – supposedly the first place to ever serve afternoon tea over 140 years ago."
