Indulge in one of London’s most treasured traditions with Afternoon Tea at The Dilly. Located in the heart of Piccadilly, this historic Edwardian hotel has been synonymous with elegance and British charm since 1908. Designed by celebrated architect Richard Norman Shaw, The Dilly’s Neo-Baroque interiors offer the perfect backdrop for a truly memorable afternoon.
Served daily from 12:30pm to 4:30pm, Afternoon Tea at The Dilly is more than just a meal - it’s a celebration of flavour, history, and indulgence. Guests can enjoy a selection of delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and handcrafted pastries inspired by London’s iconic landmarks. The menu is thoughtfully designed to honour the city’s rich culture, offering treats like the Tower Bridge Banana and Baileys Crèmeux, the spiced St. Paul’s Date Cake, and the zesty Red Bus Mandarin and Cardamom Cheesecake.
No Afternoon Tea would be complete without scones, and The Dilly delivers with both plain and raisin varieties, served warm with clotted cream and strawberry jam. For savoury fans, the sandwiches include unique pairings such as cranberry and turkey, candied ginger cream with poached salmon, and a vegetarian-friendly carrot, cucumber, and coconut cream cheese option.
To accompany this feast, choose from a curated selection of fine teas, including classic English Breakfast, aromatic Earl Grey, or something more indulgent like Pommery Louis sparkling wine. Coffee lovers aren’t left out, with options ranging from cappuccinos to americanos.
