Royal Horseguards Hotel Afternoon Tea

A quintessentially British tradition, Afternoon Tea deserves a setting that blends warmth with timeless elegance—and The Lounge at The Royal Horseguards Hotel offers just that.

Gather with friends, family, or loved ones and indulge in delightful sweet and savoury treats, accompanied by your choice of tea or coffee.

It is said that Afternoon Tea was invented in 1841, by Anna Maria, the wife of the Duke of Bedford. The long gap between lunch and dinner proved too much for her, and so she began to enjoy a pot of tea and a bite to eat in the mid-afternoon. Her fellow aristocrats were quick to develop the idea into a social occasion, and it is this tradition that they embrace with their very own Royal Horseguards Hotel Afternoon Tea.
