Palm Court at The Langham Hotel Awarded Top London Afternoon Tea
Londonist, April 29, 2010 3:01 PM
Perhaps it’s only fitting that the place to first commercially offer afternoon tea in London should now be recognized as having the best in town. Serving London socialites and fancy pants hotel guests since 1865 (when this newly found tradition of mid afternoon social snacking cost a mere 7p), the Palm Court at The Langham has been awarded the Tea Guild’s Top London Afternoon Tea award for 2010 and thus joins the swank ranks of 25 years of previous winners which include Brown’s Hotel, The Lanesborough, Claridges, The Ritz and The Dorchester.

Palm Court at The Langham Hotel Awarded Top London Afternoon Tea
Hi,
I recently wrote an article on the best venues for afternoon tea in London, which, interestingly did not include The Langham. I should return for another visit to try it again!
You can see the list at the link below:

Nice list of venues! I think The Langham’s Palm Court is well worth a visit. Is it the best in London? Oh, who knows? But the court is without doubt one of Central London’s most gorgeous interiors. I really enjoyed my visit. The food, tea and atmosphere were wonderful. The piano playing in the background was a really nice touch too.
If you go, let me know what you think.

I agree that it’s a gorgeous setting – much like the bar area as well. I love it there.
