The quintessentially British tradition of afternoon tea has been around for centuries, however it has recently found its rightful home at The Draycott Hotel in Chelsea.
Previously offered for guests only, the afternoon tea is now open to the public. The tea in Chelsea can be enjoyed with an optional glass of Champagne and a range of high quality blended teas. The drinks are served with a variety of quaint finger sandwiches, homemade scones, clotted cream and a fruity jam, not to mention a selection of tempting sweets and pastries prepared fresh daily.
Everyone is welcome, whether you are planning to swing by after spending the day shopping in Chelsea, or just fancy putting your feet up for an hour while experiencing the finest afternoon tea Chelsea has to offer.
Steeped in Edwardian splendor, with high ceilings and cozy fireplaces, the Draycott is a romantic townhouse hotel just around the corner from Chelsea's Sloane Square. The 35-room property evokes old world elegance and charm in a supreme London location. In true English tradition, the Draycott prides itself on warm and personal touches, such as a complimentary tea service available at 4:00pm, champagne at 6:00pm, and hot chocolate at 9:00pm in the drawing room.
