About

The Palm Court at The Langham is an afternoon tea lounge by day and a restaurant by night, set in glamorous surrounds. When it comes to afternoon tea in the capital, few places have more experience than The Langham. In fact, the much adored hotel has been serving this time-honoured British tradition since it first swung open its doors way back in 1865. These days, tea is served in The Palm Court, a glamourous, over-the-top space featuring metallic wallpaper, cosy velvet tub chairs and mirrored columns which bounce light around the room.

The Palm Court’s menu is designed by legendary chef Michel Roux Jr and The Langham’s executive pastry chef Andrew Gravett, in an offering which celebrates all things British and takes inspiration from our nation’s favourite biscuits and baked tarts. The afternoon tea begins with a selection of traditional finger sandwiches, with varieties to try including Croast chicken with curried butter, smoked salmon with nasturtium butter and watercross, and roast cauliflower with anchovy relish and rocket.

Next up, tuck into your choice of plain or raisin studded scones which arrive fresh from the Palm Court bakery and are paired with Cornish clotted cream and seasonal preserves. The grand finale sees an assortment of sweet treats, which includes a rose-infused baba with lychee and mascarpone, and an Early Grey and Jivara mousse with a runny caramel centre. There are also a range of other afternoon tea menus, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and children’s afternoon teas.

Outside of afternoon tea hours, Palm Court is also where breakfast at The Langham is served. In the evening this majestic room becomes Chez Roux - Michel Roux Jr’s restaurant at the hotel, where he serves a menu inspired by his dual English and French upbringing.
