My mom and I went to high tea and loved every minute. She had the Parisian breakfast tea, and I had lavender earl grey. We each had three small sandwiches: cucumber with a touch of mint, salmon, and chicken salad on a croissant. Each of us got an orange cranberry scone with Devonshire (clotted) cream and strawberry preserves. We were too full for dessert but each took home a petit fours, brownie topped with raspberry, lemon blueberry tart, and macaron. Service was great, and we enjoyed chatting with her friend, Alora, who works there. Overall wonderful experience!
My friends and I attended the Pride and Prejudice tea, and we were so impressed. The food and the tea were excellent. The atmosphere was great--it was a total experience! The staff was so friendly; and even before we arrived for the tea, they were incredibly helpful and kind with a couple of things that arose with our group (allergy and possible cancellation). It was a wonderful afternoon, and we will most definitely be returning!
I got married in 2013 and came here from out of town to have lunch when celebrating my bachelorette party. Loved this gem and even years later, I find myself wanting to go back there and maybe try tea on a Saturday or Sunday. There is truly no place around that really embodies the concept of afternoon tea so well that even years later people are still talking and thinking about it. Rare to find a business so well-placed and overall outstanding. Excited to go back and order one of everything!
This was my second visit to the London tea room. Took my daughter for afternoon tea or high tea. Such a lovely place. The food was excellent and the service top notch. Will definitely visit again. The scones are wonderful.
Delicious! Spent the weekend at an Airbnb nearby, and came in three times. Once for a cup of tomato soup and a spinach ricotta croissant. Had to come back on Sunday for a bowl of the same soup, a cup of Masala Chai latte, a potato cheese pasty - I've been dreaming of vegetarian pasties, and a cranberry orange scone. Third trip to buy several teas for Christmas gifts. Wish you had a shop in my neighborhood in Chicago, but I will definitely be ordering online.
Food was delicious, the room was beautiful, and I found another tea favorite—Naughty Vicar. I would love to go again and try the quiche and blueberry lemon cake.
The place is so quaint. The service was great and the food was good. I like how the front of the place is a cafe and the back area is for larger groups. Great selections of teas. Lovely atmosphere, I will be coming again.
I love this place! The tea is perfectly served and the food is fresh and delicious. The ambiance is great for a casual get together with friends.
I recommend tea with Father Christmas with your little ones next year. From the decor to the Santa everything was wonderful. The food was beautifully served, delicious and plentiful. The tea was delicious as was the hot chocolate with whipped cream. Santa took individual time with each child and had a gift for each boy and girl. Thank you London Tea Room for making this a day to remember.
Absolutely loved it!!!!! I tried 8 different tea so far and have loved them. The ham and cheese quiche is so amazing!!! It was light and fluffy and so creamy. The staff was great and so helpful. I am going to end up being a regular. I have also order stuff from online it was so easy and got to me really fast.
Visited today with one of my daughters (age 9). We had the best time! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful afternoon. The staff took such fabulous care of us; plus, the tea and our food was delicious!
We stop in for lunch or a scone and a pot of tea every time we get to St. Louis. Wonderful food, tea, atmosphere, and shopping.
Very personable place. The tea and food was amazing! Will definitely be going back
My sister and I enjoyed afternoon and high tea selections. It was wonderful. Thomas, our server answered all our questions and provided prompt service. The autumn chicken salad on croissant was our favorite. I especially enjoyed the clotted cream. As an avid Great British Bake Off I have always wondered what clotted cream taste like!
Enjoying a personal pot of tea with lumps of sugar - divine! A very nice afternoon outing!
I really can’t say enough about the London Tea Room. It’s a truly unique experience that makes for a great environment for meeting with friends or family. My wife and I tried the afternoon tea set menu and we each picked a tea. While I think all the teas sounded great, we had the Canadian Vicar and the Royal Wedding tea. If you like floral teas, then definitely try the royal wedding!
The afternoon tea menu was great! All the little sandwiches were fresh and flavorful. I never thought I would like a curry chicken salad on a mini croissant for brunch, but it hit the spot! The cucumber sandwich and the salmon cream cheese mini bagel were also on point. You’re gonna wanna pace yourself with the scone if you want to save room for the desert plate, and while the desserts were very tasty, I think next time we’ll stick to ordering High Tea next time.
I highly recommend getting reservations!!!
My girlfriends and I came to try this place out the other day, and it was great! We'd all gotten afternoon tea so it arrived neatly on a little tea tower, and I got to enjoy a pot of valerian root. The desserts were delightful, but if you're not into super sweet I'd trade a friend the macaroon for shortbread cookie.
My only qualm was the crowd that poured in after an event, and the spacing between the tables where they bump up with others. I felt a little squished and it was hard returning to the dining room from the restroom when there was a crowd at the entrance shop.
I took my mom, aunt, and grandma to The London Tea Room for Afternoon Tea. We loved the atmosphere and the wait staff were amazing. We each picked a different tea so we could try 4 different kinds. Each tea was delicious. I loved the different flavors. The food was also delicious. I really loved the savory options and the scone with the clotted cream and jam. I’ll definitely be going back.

I debated between 3 or 4 or 5 stars for this review. If I'm being completely honest, the special event we went to wasn't really worth the additional cost. We went to the special Mother's Day afternoon tea event, and I think the standard afternoon tea downstairs would have been better. The food was a fun experience and the tea was some of the best I've had, but a glass of champagne and a string trio that played less than half the time we were there wasn't worth the additional cost that bumped the price up to $100 a ticket. I appreciated that mothers also received a small bag of tea, but I really think it's wrong to charge the same price for every ticket and only include that add on for mothers, especially since not all women can have children and men were guests too. If you only want to give an item to a certain group, it would be better to have it as an add-on item for the ticket rather than going around the room picking certain people to get them. Especially for Mother's day, when a lot of moms say "Oh, you can have mine," when they see someone else is going without. Service/atmosphere also brought down my rating. The musicians weren't great. They seemed to have long breaks, one literally yawned like they were SO bored at least four times, and they seemed to skip quite a few measures in certain songs and were very repetitive in the songs they did play. My mom saw one server drinking champagne in the back. The order people were served didn't match the order they sat down, and there seemed to be some confusion with seating. That felt a little disorganized. Also the chairs were very uncomfortable, hard wood, not great. I'd visit again to try the standard experience, but I don't think I'd book another special event without some changes.

4.5 *! We had a lovely time celebrating my daughter’s 4th birthday! We bought a “wee tea” and she loved the pastries had a blast pouring the cream in her tea. 🥰 The pastries were delicious! I will say the pictures on the website are slightly misleading, it’s $37 for the adult regular tea and pastries and that’s one serving. (There are three adult servings on the plates pictured, so a total of about $100). We loved the salmon bagel and the Jane Austin themed desserts! (It was a Wednesday in February). The tea was great too! The only downside that kept this from being a 5* experience was the service was a little slow. There was 1 waiter for the whole room, and by the time we got our second pot of tea we had finished eating and were ready to leave. Excellent experience all together though!
I really love this place. The service is always excellent. The tea is excellent as well, served properly. The environment is beautiful but noisy :/
The food is lovely
I went several times to the last place they were located but I absolutely love this place at the new one. You can also get your whole tea experience with food all vegan! My friends & I had a wonderful, fancy little tea party there recently. I highly recommend. The staff was also so nice, accommodating, patient, and will gladly take pictures of your group for you.
Be careful with parking though. Be sure you have fully paid on the app before you walk inside. Cops watch this area heavily and will ticket.

I have been frequenting the London Tea Room for years now and it's safe to say they are my favorite establishment in St. Louis! I buy my tea exclusively from them both for its quality and taste.
The London Tea Room provides such a welcoming and relaxing environment to visit. I've studied in college here, had Mother's Day and Christmas Afternoon Tea parties, stopped in to read a book and grab a quick pot of tea, and even had my bridal shower here. That's what is so amazing - every occasion perfectly fits at the London Tea Room!
The owners truly know so much about tea and have fielded my questions many times. Peter, the manager of tea, always gives great recommendations to newbies and experts alike.
Lastly, their themed Afternoon Teas are always so different and so fun. I've attended Mother's Day, Christmas, Jane Austen, and Harry Potter teas. Each one had an amazing selection of tea and food curated for the theme. At the most recent Christmas tea, Santa Claus/Father Christmas visited each child at the table and truly spent time with them. My niece (age 2) was a bit shy, and he knew exactly how to handle the situation and make her Santa experience fun, too!
The London Tea Room is the perfect place for celebration and relaxation alike. Stop in and you'll smell the fresh pastries baking and teas of all sorts being enjoyed. I've been a customer for years and I'll definitely be a customer for years to come.
I went to the London Tea Room today with my sister and mom and we had a blast! It’s such a wonderful atmosphere, we can’t wait to go back!
Wonderful experience with my brother! Delicious High Tea spread, and the Coffee Kisses tea is divine. I love this place! The one con is that when I reserved our table, I had the option to select the reason for going. I selected "Birthday" since my brother's birthday was the day before. It wasn't recognized, so it may have been an issue with the reservation service communication.
We went for a friend's birthday, and it was quite nice. The tea spread was fantastic, everything tasted good, and the price was fairly reasonable for what you get. The space is very cool as well, and while I didn't care for the high ceilings, as that made the whole place echo quite a lot, the décor was nice and the room itself was beautiful. I haven't seen any of the upstairs rooms, but I hear they're cool as well. We've been getting tea from them for years, but it was my first time at the new location and I have to say that I enjoyed it. We will be returning.
We ordered the afternoon tea and the high tea, each came with 2 choices of tea. Nice ambient, nice service, and nice tea. They have many selections of tea. Although it’s a bit pricey given it’s portions, the savory options were impressive. They know how to strike a perfect balance between different ingredients, so the savory options tasted harmonious. The sweet options were great, not too sweet, also perfect balance.
They have great food and great tea. This was my first time since they moved from the Morganford location and was a little disappointed that there is no options to go sit down and share a pot of tea with my husband in the casual environment the way it used to be. Since it's now "per person" and sharing a pot of tea is not allowed, you are spending a minimum of $15 per person for the Cream Tea option, but it only goes up from there. It is worth the money, but I wish there was a more wallet friendly option. Plus, a pot of tea is a massive amount of tea for one person.
I love the concept and hope to be able to participate in a High Tea experience some day, but the prices of that are special occasion only for my family.
We had a wonderful time. The atmosphere is great and you do not feel rushed while there. This is a great place just to relax and talk while enjoying some tea and treats. All the food and tea were great. The staff was very nice and attentive. I would venture to guess if you had any issues they would make it right. Believe the 5 Star comments.
