"Imposing colonnades, vaulted ceilings and a spacious terrace make it a lovely place to stop for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. The latter is a relatively simple affair, with a fixed selection of sandwiches, scones and either tea (a good range) or coffee."
"One has to say that the much vaunted Kensington Palace Orangery afternoon tea is a perfect end to a visit wandering the halls of the Kensington Palace."
"The Orangery at Kensington Palace is the only royal palace in London where you can enjoy afternoon tea. It is a relaxed setting, perfect for us tourists in our jeans and t-shirts, but feels opulent and beautiful. As a bonus, you can wander around the gorgeous manicured English gardens surrounding the Orangery before or after your tea."
"If you’re visiting London, you’ll probably want to make a booking for afternoon tea to be assured a true English experience. If you’re coming to London with your kids, you should plan on having tea at the Orangery Restaurant in the beautiful Kensington Gardens."
"Within its manicured gardens sits an elegant dining room, The Orangery, which presents the perfect setting for an afternoon tea. The Orangery can provide a perfect afternoon out to treat someone you love to a tea with a right royal feel."
"The Orangery has always been a wonderful place to stop for tea and now the Palace Cafe has opened for those who would just like a quick drink The Orangery has been able to focus on meals and it's wonderful afternoon tea."
"The tea was delicious, the setting was stupendous and the ambience was elegant. What a lovely hidden gem in London I've stumbled across, one I'm looking forward to visiting again soon xo."
"Afternoon tea is not religiously practiced anymore but should you fancy having a go, then The Orangery is highly recommended. It is located within the grounds of the Kensington Palace. They serve the traditional afternoon tea trimmings of sandwiches in those lovely tiered trays along with scones, clotted cream and jam."
"Despite all of the activities the beautiful neighborhood has to offer, one of our favorite things to do during the weekends in Kensington is afternoon tea at The Orangery, a baroque building located next to Kensington Palace in Kensington Gardens."
"A truly royal – but affordable – British afternoon tea experience. The 18th century architecture is a stunning backdrop for the restaurant’s simple and honest menu of delicious English dishes and the location alone is a reason to go. What more could you ask for?"
