Afternoon Tea London
At The Petersham, our riverside location and sweeping panoramic views over the Thames create a truly unforgettable setting for afternoon tea. Perched atop Richmond Hill, our hotel offers guests the charm and tranquillity of a countryside retreat, all within reach of London. Overlooking the serene Petersham Meadows, the peaceful and lush surroundings make our restaurant the ideal choice for a refined, picturesque afternoon tea experience all year round.
Afternoon Tea Offerings
Our afternoon tea in Richmond is a celebration of timeless British tradition with a few delightful twists. We begin with a carefully curated selection of finger sandwiches, including honey roast ham, Scottish smoked salmon, mature cheddar cheese, coronation chicken, and egg mayo, each crafted with the finest ingredients to offer classic flavours with a refined touch. These are paired with freshly baked scones served warm with clotted cream and jam, as well as an array of irresistible sweet treats to be shared around the table, or stolen entirely to yourself.
To pair, enjoy an equally diverse tea selection, ranging from traditional favourites to more adventurous blends. Choose from options like Darjeeling, Sapphire Earl Grey, Organic Jasmine, Rooibos, and Dragonwell Green, each selected to complement our menu and create a well-rounded tea experience. And for those looking to add an extra touch of luxury to their afternoon tea in London, we invite you to upgrade your experience with a glass of Champagne, perfect for celebrating a special occasion or treating someone you love.
Alternatively, for those looking for afternoon tea in London with a little twist, we introduce seasonal variations to our afternoon tea, coupled with exclusive pastries, all crafted by our talented pastry team. During the festive season, for instance, our themed afternoon tea brings a holiday sparkle to every tier. We also offer special afternoon teas, from children's afternoon tea to vegan, gluten-friendly, Mother’s Day, and Champagne options, ensuring that every guest can indulge in this elegant experience.
