2016 London Afternoon Tea Awards: The Winners

Over 30 of London’s finest hotels and restaurants were shortlisted for the Afternoon Tea Awards 2016, sponsored by AfternoonTea.co.uk. A team of independent judges looked at all aspects of the afternoon tea experience, from arrival to departure, with a strong focus on the food, drink and service.

Four awards were presented:

Best Traditional Afternoon Tea – Claridge’s

Best Contemporary Afternoon Tea – Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park

Best Family Friendly Afternoon Tea – Grosvenor House

Best Themed Afternoon Tea – Sanderson London

The awards were presented by Martha Collison, the youngest ever contestant on ‘Great British Bake Off’, in a ceremony at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel last week.
