Indulge in an Afternoon Tea with a twist at Great Scotland Yard, a 5-star hotel where tradition and history meets modern luxury. The former home of the Metropolitan Police, this historical institution now fuses classic glamour with bold art. Every thoughtful detail of its interior design tells the story of its prominent past.

This Autumn, Great Scotland Yard Hotel unveils a spirited new Afternoon Tea Menu inspired by the building’s iconic history and infamous tales. Featuring showstopper culinary techniques and rare ingredients, the new menu is an artwork in itself and joins the extensive gallery of work that tells the extraordinary story of Great Scotland Yard Hotel that currently adorns its marble walls.

Deeply embedded in the nostalgia of this former Police Headquarters, each dish takes guests on a journey of escapism through different chapters of the building’s careening history and greatest stories, beginning with Sir Robert Peel’s ‘bobbies’ to the modern day - and many in between. Each serving represents a different chapter of its time, fact or fiction, that will leave guests wanting to return time and time again.

The hotel’s chefs have spent months researching both flavour and infamy to curate this one-of-a-kind menu, which offers an afternoon tea which is both amusing and conversation-provoking as the distinctive menu of savoury and pastry dishes are inspired as tongue-in-cheek representations of the building’s iconic history.

The  new menu demonstrates The Parlour’s passion, proficiency and devotion to detail in creating a stimulating culinary experience, all with an intelligent link back to the history around which they are centred. In a merging of creative skills that is unique to the hotel, the team have once again constructed a palatable menu of entertaining delight. The resulting Afternoon Tea menu is charming and a delectable representation of the talents and historic references that have merged to create them.

Choose between Traditional Afternoon Tea, Champagne Afternoon Tea, or Bottomless Champagne Afternoon Tea with free-flowing Veuve Clicquot for 1.5 hours.

The hotel also welcomes furry friends for their Dog Afternoon Tea, which is available every Sunday. Further information about their Dog Afternoon Tea can be found here.

This iconic venue is steeped in history and would make the perfect pit stop from a day of sightseeing whilst continuing to absorb London's rich past. Located a stone's throw away from Covent Garden and one minute from Trafalgar Square, Great Scotland Yard Hotel connects Whitehall and Northumberland Avenue.
