London Eye brings back its 'quintessentially British' afternoon tea experience

London is home to some brilliant afternoon teas, from Shakespeare-themed events to iconic buses turned into tearooms.

But what could be better than sipping tea, enjoying scones, and taking in the sights of London’s skyline? You’re right, very little.

Luckily for you, the lastminute.com London Eye’s new Afternoon Tea experience offers just that!

Relaunching on Friday 16th May for guests wanting a taste of luxury, tantalise your tastebuds with spectacular views of Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the River Thames, enjoying a spot of tea and delicious treats.

From smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, seasonal quiches, to lemon meringue tarts and chocolate brownies, indulge in a freshly prepared traditional tea reception served by an expert host, all whilst enjoying the stunning views 135 metres above London.

Plus, trial and test whether you prefer the ‘Devon way’ or the ‘Cornwall way’ with delicious scones complete with clotted cream and jam.

For those celebrating something special, add a glass of champagne to your double rotation as an extra luxury. With gluten free and vegan options also available, there’s truly something for everyone.

Robin Goodchild, Senior General Manager at the lastminute.com London Eye, said: “The perfect addition to a packed London itinerary, we’re thrilled to now be hosting a traditional afternoon tea on our pods – is there anything more quintessentially British than that? Have a toast and clink your teacups – all to be enjoyed with a backdrop of London’s spectacular sights.”
