Lanes of London, previously criticised for its ‘concept’ heavy menu, ticks all the right boxes for afternoon tea with fresh, hot scones, cakes and sandwiches.
The soaring atriums are furnished in a clean biscuit-brown wood and with cosseting fireplaces and armchairs, and a pianist adds to the easy atmosphere.
Try the afternoon tea with free-flowing Prosecco and unlimited sandwiches, cakes and scones for £37.50. This can be had from 1-4pm on Mondays through to Fridays.
The tiered tea stands are hung like birdcages on bronze branches, strengthening the feeling of being in a fairytale garden, and their edible contents are exceptional.
Afternoon tea can be had for £58 pp with additional glass of Laurent-Perrier. This is one I will be thinking of ardently, and returning to imminently.
