Afternoon Tea at The Bloomsbury Hotel is a luxurious affair, with finger sandwiches, sweets, scones, tea and Champagne served in two different locations. Tucked away in the magnificent, Grade II-listed neo-Georgian hotel, The Coral Room is easily recognised thanks to its coral pink colour palette and stunning art deco bar. Moody art deco lamps on the bar, plush stools at the counter and incredible chandeliers hanging from the ceiling recall the fun and frivolity of the Jazz Age, and The Coral Room serves afternoon tea daily.
Or, why not enjoy afternoon tea at foliage-laden Dalloway Terrace? This beautiful outdoor space is one of London's most recognisable terraces thanks to seasonal flower installations. Both The Coral Room and Dalloway Terrace serve the same afternoon tea menu, which includes sweet and savoury treats, fine teas, and Champagne.
As usual, tea is made up of a selection of sweets, savouries and scones, but afternoon tea at The Bloomsbury is a little more than your average cheese scone and British Rail cuppa. The fun starts with finger sandwiches - roast beef and horseradish on onion bread, and harissa and apricot chicken on turmeric bread, for example - then continues with carefully constructed sweets, including an Earl Grey and blackberry dome, lemon and poppy seed choux and peach melba tart. No afternoon tea would be complete without scones, of course, and at The Bloomsbury you vanilla and sultana buttermilk scones, with homemade strawberry and prosecco conserve.
You can also expect an extensive tea collection courtesy of The Rare Tea Company, and you also have the option to add some Charles Heidsieck Champagne to your afternoon tea. Kids aren't left out at The Bloomsbury either, as both Dalloway Terrace and The Coral Room serve a Bumble Bee Tea for the little ones, complete with a children's mocktail, milk chocolate bumble bee lollipops, scones, ham sandwiches and more.
