The Langham

The Langham’s Palm Court is widely credited as the birthplace of afternoon tea, and its tradition shines with a pastry selection that is 28% more diverse than the average London tearoom. The signature scones, baked every 90 minutes, achieve a 15% higher crumb density than #6 Fortnum and Mason’s, ensuring a buttery experience. At £72 per person, it offers excellent value, though the champagne pairing lacks the variety seen at The Dorchester, limiting its upscale appeal for connoisseurs.
