The Drawing Room At DUKES LONDON (Afternoon Tea)
Alternatively, take time to enjoy a traditional Afternoon Tea in this stylish setting. Delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and a choice of patisserie is served with your choice of tea.

An absolutely lovely afternoon tea in a quiet, secluded drawing room. The tea options were numerous (several menu pages, even more than what is provided online), and the food served was very nice and what we expected for an English afternoon tea. We enjoyed our time very much. We appreciated the reasonable price at such a prestigious location, especially when compared to other, much more expensive afternoon teas. I would highly recommend this lovely find.
The second time here. Nice quiet spot for a pleasant afternoon tea. Surroundings are lovely and the staff are attentive and very willing to top up with more tea and sandwiches. Would visit again.

We were given a voucher for afternoon tea at Dukes hotel. The atmosphere was lovely, nice and quiet and we sat in a secluded area of the drawing room on a comfy sofa. The staff could not have been more attentive and there was a good selection of teas to choose from. All in all a great experience and would definitely go again.

Fabulous afternoon tea in lovely environment. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Oh, and the gluten-free option for one of us had a top-notch standard. We’ll return next time in London.

Afternoon tea was good value - delicious warm scones . The room was very quiet and cosy when we arrived. We were served by the most charming waitress .. only slight negative would be that the sandwiches could have been a bit more adventurous. We would definitely go back ...

Incredibly disappointed by the service, the food, the standard of what I was expecting from this venue.
I had stated it was a special birthday celebration for my Husband, and nothing was made to show of this!!!
The lady serving us ignored us when we walked in, stood for ages before actually seating us.
Brought out meat and fish, when I specified vegan afternoon tea!
Shocking, poor, and tasteless afternoon tea.
We had a really great time at Dukes for afternoon tea. I had the vegan afternoon tea option, while my friends had the regular option. I loved the vegan options. The sandwiches, scones, and pastries were all great. We also loved the tea we chose. Overall had a lovely time.

Extremely disappointing. Slow inattentive service. Food below average. Scones under-baked.
What a lovely space, and what lovely staff. I stopped in for a solo tea seating and it was a wonderful (and filling!) way to spend an afternoon. Very cool to be in a historic space too. Highly recommend!

Dukes was highly reviewed online especially for vegan options. However, the ambiance was not super special (not fancy tea) and the really problem was that the food was not good (scones were fine but not excellent). The pastries were dry, tasted funny (almost like too much baking powder/soda) and were grainy in texture. Very disappointing. And they charged 35 pounds for it.
Had the best time. We will most certainly be back.

Each time we go to London, we have an afternoon tea. Unfortunately, this was comfortably the worst so far. Not particularly comfortable, average food, no strawberry jam (!!) for the scones, mediocre tea, forgetful staff. Sorry to be so negative - but this was rather disappointing. We paid a premium price for an at-best average product.
The Drawing Room is wonderful and cosy, tea and food always freshly prepared. Staff is very welcoming, I had the perfect Afternoon Tea.
My husband and I came to Dukes for the afternoon tea to live the real English afternoon tea experience. It was the first for me and I had high expectations. We loved every second of this experience. The place, the atmosphere, the kindness and courtesy of the staff, the tea (amazing), the food (delicious), everything. I am a vegan and I never would have expected the vegan version of their afternoon tea to be that delicious. My husband (who has the classic version but tried my pastries) was impressed by the quality of the vegan treats as well. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to live either the classical afternoon tea experience or a vegan one in a beautiful location like this one.
Really pleasant afternoon tea, also very well decorated for Christmas. Recommended!
Overpriced and not worth it. Staff was rude
We had chosen to go for the Vegan afternoon tea, and unfortunately the food was not very good. We had chosen this place after many good reviews we'd read online. The place itself is cute and quaint, the sandwiches were tasty but the scones and deserts did not meet our expectations. We felt the staff were a little stand-offish and not as welcoming as other afternoon tea's we had been to in London, and multiple times staff were showing around guests in the area where we were having afternoon tea, which we thought was a little intrusive. Perhaps other afternoon tea menus (non-vegan) may be better but unfortunately we won't be coming back here again.
A friend and I arrived to Dukes a little earlier than booked. We were greeted warmly and directed to reception. We had small carry on cases, the staff there gladly stored these for us.
Our afternoon tea menu was offered and we chose the champagne option. As it is nearing Christmas there was a festive theme. The sandwiches were fresh, scones warm and pastries delicate and all delicious. We were permitted to have seconds (or thirds) of all but the pastries which we availed of. The staff were attentive but not intrusive.
Overall a lovely atmosphere; relaxing and friendly.
We had a lovely Afternoon Tea made special by Dukes' staff.
Lovely afternoon tea in a very quiet setting. For awhile we had the room to ourselves. We felt very special.
quiet hidden gem for afternoon tea very cozy and waiters are nice this hotel is typical English style and price is reasonable scones could be refilled.
Arriving at the destination, everyone was very polite and very helpful during our time there! The staff were very attentive!
The afternoon tea was really filling, our favourite was the sandwiches and the scones! The dessert was also really good.
A beautiful, traditional, yummy afternoon tea experience! We both very much enjoyed our teas - one standard and one vegan. The service was phenomenal and they even offered to “refill” our sandwiches and scones (we were very tempted to take them up on the offer but we were also very full haha).

Everything about this afternoon tea was lovely. It was quiet (even on a Sunday at 4:00), accommodated dietary restrictions and offered a full vegan afternoon tea, and the service was incredible. We did not get our server’s name but he was kind, informative and really added to the experience by taking time to chat with us. Beautiful tea and lovely way to spend an afternoon. P.s. the vegan scones and clotted cream were incredible!

Wonderful relaxing afternoon tea in a lovely, quiet atmosphere. Accessibility of the hotel is just ok, as they have weird wheelchair ramps that didn't quite work for us, but every effort was made to accommodate and help us.

Nice afternoon tea. Could have been a better ambiance as we were in an alcove on our own. Excellent service from Elisa and her colleague (sorry I did not get her name).
Very nice welcome on arrival; lovely vegan and non-vegan sandwiches, excellent scones with lemon curd, jam and cream and delicious cakes. Pots of tea and coffee to either be served by the staff or to help ourselves. Would recommend Dukes if you like quaint and quirky venues.

Very small room. Mix of guests eating lunch and tea. This was our backup. Had a nice private enclave but felt like I was in my hotel sitting room. The sandwiches were delicious.
