3 ways to celebrate the joy of reading with a London children’s afternoon tea
The Tiger Who Came to Tea at The Savoy
London’s iconic The Savoy hotel is offering a weekday children’s afternoon tea menu themed around Judith Kerr’s popular children’s classic The Tiger Who Came to Tea, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. The special children’s afternoon tea (from £40 per child) was launched in partnership with HarperCollins Children’s Books, and families can expect finger sandwiches, tiger-striped scones and pastries inspired by the book and served on themed, bespoke chinaware. The Tiger Who Came to Tea at The Savoy menu is available for children at the first two sittings of Afternoon Tea in the Thames Foyer from Monday to Friday.
Daunt Books afternoon tea at The Langham
At the stately The Langham hotel, a children’s afternoon tea menu was introduced in partnership with Daunt Books in October, and here families can expect a creative focus, such as jigsaw puzzle sandwiches and a cake that can be assembled into the shape of a dog. As part of the experience, children also choose one book from a special, curated mini-library of books from Daunt Books designed for children aged 3 to 12. Children’s Afternoon Tea at Palm Court costs £29.50 for guests aged 12 and under.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-inspired afternoon tea at One Aldwych
Right now, One Aldwych is closed for refurbishment, but the hotel is known for its afternoon tea inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is not a children’s afternoon tea per se, but I think it sounds like fun for both young and old and won the restaurant the Best Afternoon Tea in London on Bookatable in 2017. Fans of the Roald Dahl classic will like seeing candy floss and golden chocolate eggs among the sweet treats on the menu (£45 per person). One Aldwych is reopening in spring 2019.
