Afternoon Tea along the River Thames
A British Tradition - Afternoon Tea
What could be more enjoyable than treating yourself to a classic afternoon tea with all the trimmings… served on a tiered cake stand with a sumptuous choice of finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, homemade cakes and a variety of teas, or coffee if you prefer? Add an extra treat, a glass of Prosecco or champagne. And for a relaxing afternoon take Afternoon Tea at one of the riverside hotels. Enjoy this great British tradition in a restaurant overlooking the river, or on a sunny day sit on the terrace or in the garden watching the boats go by.
Five of the best:
- The Runnymede on Thames, Egham offers a few hours of sheer indulgence overlooking the river with afternoon tea served in the comfort of The Lounge.

- Danesfield House, Marlow can be enjoyed with the River Thames and the Chilterns as a backdrop. Afternoon Tea is served in The Restaurant daily and includes The Complete Danesfield Afternoon Tea, served with a Glass of Laurent Perrier Champagne, Bucks Fizz or Champagne Cocktail.
