📍The Ritz 150 Piccadilly, St. James’s, London W1J 9BR
The Ritz London has been on my bucket list for a long time. This booking for afternoon tea was made in February and the waiter advised there’s now a 6-month waiting list.
Afternoon Tea takes place in what used to be the Ballroom. The location of the afternoon tea will be moved to the first floor of the Ritz in the new year.
The decor was beautiful and captivating. As soon as we arrived the clerk room staff took our coats and we were then seated at a lovely table. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
To start off we were given a glass of @ Barons de Rothschild “Reserve Ritz” Rosé which was crisp with a hint of sweetness.
We were then asked for our choice of tea. I chose The Ritz Royal English which is there version of English breakfast tea. My sister chose the Chocolate Mint Rooibos Tea which she enjoyed.
