"As for the food and drinks, the scones were standard at best, though the cocktail was delicious and visually appealing. However, the tea was not to my liking; the chamomile flavor was heavily diluted, resulting in a poor tea-to-water ratio. The second waiter simply replaced my water glass with still water, and while he was apologetic, he admitted to forgetting our order. The cleanliness of the dining area also left much to be desired. Loud pop music from a nearby party and boisterous chatter from an adjacent table disrupted the atmosphere. On a positive note, the aesthetics of the main hall were festive and attractive, which was a nice contrast to the distracting noise."

Very disappointing. Our lady waiter was lovely. But everything else was not up to standard.

The Lanesborough used to be outstanding, however, the standards have declined significantly.

One of the best afternoon tea experiences I’ve had in London. The sandwiches were fresh, the scones delicious and most importantly the service was impeccable!

Cocktail tea with a visitor from the usa. we both enjoyed it. the service was very good (from a dame with long hair, no glasses). atmosphere was good, it was quiet enough for talks. it was a beautiful experience.

Afternoon tea: Frozen Jam and clotted cream needed replacement. Lobster linguine also ordered but was tasteless. Service needed repeated prompting and chasing. Quite expensive for a substandard product. Room however is lovely with low sound levels.
