Afternoon Tea

The Annings Rooms at Natural History Museum

Natural History Museum celebrates nature with the launch of a new Afternoon Tea, available in this exclusive members’ space boasting unrivalled views of the Museum’s famous architecture.

Aptly named Inspired by Nature, an array of sweet and savoury treats has been expertly created by our pastry chefs to celebrate British farmers and growers and is inspired by nature’s wonders to showcase the very best of British seasonal produce.

Inspired by Nature, priced from £35 / with Prosecco £40.

The Afternoon Tea experience is prebook only but open to all, providing the perfect opportunity to relax after a tour of the museum’s latest exhibitions.

Rooftop Restaurant at the Ashmolean Museum

The Ashmolean’s Rooftop Restaurant sits at the top of the world’s oldest museum. Floor to ceiling glass windows open out onto a large terrace affording terrific views of the picturesque spires of Oxford, which make for a glorious Afternoon Tea setting.

Afternoon Tea is often themed to tie-in with the current exhibition and is served every day between 3pm and 5pm (with last food orders at 4pm).

Great Court Restaurant at the British Museum

Enjoy an unforgettable experience in our Great Court Restaurant under the iconic latticed glass roof of the British Museum’s Great Court. Afternoon Tea is a museum must do – a splendid spread of sandwiches, cakes and scones and perfectly brewed teas.

Afternoon tea is served daily 11.30am to 4pm (last seating 4pm).

Cutty Sark at Royal Museums Greenwich

Beneath the iconic Cutty Sark is certainly a memorable location for your high tea. The historic and celebrated copper ship was built in 1869 to bring the finest and freshest teas back to London – seems very fitting for the occasion.
