Swissotel The Howard, Temple Place, London WC2R 2PR
Type of cuisine: Afternoon tea
Located in the luxurious Swissotel The Howard just off of the Aldwych in central London, afternoon tea in the hotel's decadent Mauve Lounge is a relaxed, informal affair. Perfectly located for a break from a shopping trip in nearby Covent Garden or before a visit to London's theatreland, Swissotel delivers achoice of first rate traditional afternoon teas with style & panache. For the traditional afternoon tea (£25), indulge in sweet delights (pastries,teacakes, and scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve) and delectable savoury sandwiches, alongside a selection of fine teas from around the world. However, for a more interesting and memorable take on afternoon tea, why not try the hotel's TLSee Afternoon Tea (£32) where London’s most recognisable features and landmarks such as Big Ben, the grandeur of the crown jewels or the pioneering architecture of the London Eye are presented with culinary excellence as shortbreads and 3D chocolates and served alongside the traditional afternoon tea and a selection of fine teas. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Brian Spark, TLSee Afternoon Tea offers a bite-sized tour of the capital in the cosmopolitan MAUVE Lounge with each teatime treat exquisitely baked and designed to represent the vibrancy of the city. Whichever afternoon tea menu you decide on, your experience is guaranteed to be first rate as The Swissotel is undoubtedly one of London's best afternoon tea destinations and with the added appeal of being just a short walk from Covent Garden with its theatres, restaurants, nightlife and shopping, this really is a superb location for the most quintessential British experience.

I've enjoyed afternoon tea at a fair few London hotels, including the big names, but this experience is by far the best. Lovely environment, superb service and the most exquisite afternoon tea. Highly recommended.

Afternoon tea at Mauve was a true delight. Everything was staged to perfection from the lovely contemporary environment to the delicious tea and cakes. I'd seriuosly recommend this experience to any readers looking for something a little different to the normal afternoon tea experience in most of London's top hotels.
