"Giant fluffy scones in a pink velvet room with cartoon-lined walls, anyone? If you’re game, the famed Sketch restaurant on Conduit Street offers an elegant afternoon tea with a difference."

Condé Nast Traveller

"To start, you're served with a cold Apere'tea to cleanse your palate while you ponder a choice of either green, Oolong or black tea. It's a little on the small side for afternoon tea but that's part of the point - partying is no fun on an impossibly full stomach."

Julie Falconer

"If you’ve had afternoon tea at Sketch, you’ll know why I’ve put it at the top of my list. Not only does the Mayfair restaurant have exquisite pastries with flavors that live up to their appearances, but the Gallery is also one of the prettiest, pinkest places in the city."

Olivia Grace

"If there's one place in London I would happily eat breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or even have cocktails- it would be Sketch. Without a doubt, Sketch is one of my top places for afternoon tea."

Emyr Thomas

"The Parlour offers fine cakes, sandwiches and tea in a grand setting with a cool and quirky vibe. There is a no reservation policy, but any wait will be worth it."

Yvette Caster

"An achingly fashionable tea, this features egg mayonnaise sandwiches with quail’s egg and caviar, macaroons, cakes and warm scones with fig jam. I mean look at it. It also features tea-infused Champagne over ice."

John O'Ceallaigh

"So pretty and thoroughly pink, current designer David Shrigley’s interior is a confection of dainty scalloped chairs and plush banquettes. It is a setting tailormade for an endearingly eccentric, quintessentially British afternoon tea."
