That's about $220 US ! Little known bit of trivia: London cabs (the traditional ones) are made with very close turning circles specifically so they can make the turn in the roundabout in front of the Savoy, which was originally just for carriages of course.

Hitogokochi You’ll always find people who love to throw their money away to show how wealthy they are, and my mother used to call them Nouveau Riches. It’s like the old cliché of someone burning a bank note to light his cigar. Real people lead a comfortable without showing off, wear vintage clothes and will never, ever, mention the word money. By the way, I had a delightful high tea in Hong Kong, great service and music but no being the Savoy the damage was no more than 30 USD. Later on I felt really guilty because everything was so good that I finished all the trays and two pots of tea.

You can blame mass tourism for the high prices. The irony is that years ago when only the well off could travel regularly the prices for afternoon tea at a top London hotel were very reasonable. Now it’s becoming a thing to do they cash in on the popularity, can’t really blame them, you don’t have to go to the Savoy etc there are plenty of other options at less than half the price.

The Savoy is an experience in itself, afternoon tea is something to savour here. I would suggest you allow a little extra money and arrive in a black cab. The door staff are very attentive but so discreet too, they usually ask if you are staying but if not they will ensure you are seen by the staff and helped with your needs. The Savoy is never cheap but you can enjoy it irrespective of your means, the afternoon tea is probably the best in London and so you can rest assured it won’t disappoint you. The atmosphere is very friendly but discreet too. With the piano playing in the background it has a buzz all of its own. If you have the time after you have enjoyed the tea you can go and have a good look around the hotel and enjoy its charm. The decor is excellent and the cocktail lounge is worth a visit too. The small shop sells very good quality stuff at a reasonable price considering it’s right in the heart of London and an iconic place too. The rich and famous have been here before, it could be your turn too.

According to the internet, The Queen eats her scones with jam first and then clotted cream. I tried it a few times but it just makes more sense to me to put jam on top of the clotted cream. I specifically asked about it during this afternoon tea and apparently, most people prefer this way as well. Which way do you prefer?

@TimeToDessert

Thanks, Richard. They are both excellent and I loved both. But there are small differences. Not really in the food. In my opinion, Ritz has a more glamorous atmosphere. It has one of the strictest dress codes in London. So, the whole experience is very professional and beautiful. I would recommend this to someone who never experienced a proper 'expensive' hotel afternoon tea and wants something special. It also has drawbacks. Space is smaller and they turn things around quite quickly. I've been there three times and I always felt a little bit under pressure to leave after an hour and a half. So, now, if I want to have some hotel afternoon tea experience with great service and amazing food but also to be able to feel a little bit more relaxed and hold some private conversations with family or friends I go to Savoy or Claridge's. But then again, we keep coming back to the Ritz with my wife again and again. It is nice to properly dress up time to time and get some 'royal' treatment.

People complaining about the price... yes it's expensive and I was shocked. But, you have to remember that you are eating at a world famous hotel. A very high end hotel as well. That's what you are paying for. That and of course the skill of the excellent pastry chef, the top quality service, the pianist, the atmosphere etc. You can certainly have an afternoon tea in other very nice tea rooms around the country, for a quarter of the price. But the standard of food most likely won't be as high, the decor not quite as nice, no pianist, and you can't show off that you ate at the Savoy. If that's all okay with you, then you can just have tea somewhere cheaper. This, for many will be a once in a lifetime experience so that they can say that they have done it. :-)

Hello Steve, I stumbled upon your Channel and loved your review on your Harrods’ Afternoon Tea. This is the third video I’m watching and now I’m hooked. (I subscribed) I’m an American who lives in Salford, Manchester for several years now. I’ve had Afternoon Teas all over England (and New York, USA too) I had a most enjoyable and delicious Tea at the Claridge’s. I initially picked Claridge’s because, they serve a “Children’s Teas” a delicious Hot Chocolate instead of Tea. Still £40 per child, £90 for adults it was well worth it. Everything was superb! My 6 year old Granddaughter was extremely upset and requested “Real Tea”. She also politely told our server she didn’t want any of those “decaffeinated teas” either. Then she stated she needed a really strong tea because, we needed energy to shopping.
