The London Tea Room

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!

Spectacular little place! Quite on the high-end scale, especially for a country boy such as myself, but the entire experience was simply FANTASTIC! Staff was super friendly and happy to help explain everything for us first-timers. We went with the high tea; it was delicious and the food was simply scrumptious! I began to melt when I tasted the salmon spread, then again when I first tried clotted cream, then yet again with each bite of the strawberry cheesecake I took. I'm quite a large man and we already had plans to grab a sandwich afterward, but although small in appearance the majority of the food was so rich and dense I was genuinely satisfied. We found out that you can get an additional pot of tea at no extra charge, and he gladly gave us to-go cups for them!

Probably not a weekly expense for the average Joe, but men, let me tell you something... Get a reservation and bring your woman here. Live a little and try something out of your norm. But be careful - you just might wind up enjoying yourself drinking tea and eating fancy fingerfoods if you're not careful..!

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!!!

Absolutely adored my time here yesterday. My girlfriends and I all had afternoon tea. The food was delicious, of the sandwiches and desserts were so flavorful and fresh. I had the Masala chai and it was to-die-for. Service was lovely, Thomas was so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to come back!

Nice setting and service. Tea was delicious. Food was ok. Will return to try other menu items. Overall great first time experience.

I went to the London Tea Room in it's original location on Washington Avenue years ago, but hadn't been to the current location on Locust. What a beautiful space! The tea shop is well stocked with samples of each tea to smell. The folks who work there were very helpful and seemed to enjoy being there. While I only shopped to take home this time, I'll certainly be back for tea service!

This place is so lovely. The staff is super knowledgeable on the menu and all teas available. Tim was a great waiter. Me and three friends visited on an afternoon when a rowdy baby shower was being way too loud. The staff did a great job at quieting them down. Thank you for an excellent experience! I’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful experience, atmosphere is lovely and the food and tea were great!! The staff seem exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. It was my first time, highly recommend the Afternoon Tea.

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.

We had a wonderful time! Prix fix menu, which makes things easy and fun. Many many delicious teas to choose from (we tried three and they were all great), the food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented (with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options), and the service is friendly and knowledgeable but not intrusive. Will go again!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

This is a quaint and relaxing venue with very friendly wait staff. The linens are crisp and white, the tea is nice and hot and the scones are fabulous.

You can pop in for a tea and fresh scone or you can reserve a full tea service online. I elected for the tea service and I was not disappointed. You get to try two different teas, so two pots! You also can take your left overs to go, including a cup of tea.

I highly recommend this tea room. It's lovely and a great place to enjoy some tea and just relax!

We really enjoyed the Jane Austen High Tea at the London Tea Room. The special tea called Pemberley was delicious and the food was excellent. The service was great - the server was the same server we had last time and he is excellent. All of the little touches for the special events make each event memorable, eg Jane Austen trivia quiz, special teas and special themed desserts. We recommend the London Tea Room for afternoon tea and their special events!

During our visit, a table of about 10 were holding a baby shower. The group was rowdy and extremely disruptive to other diners. Our table was unable to hear each other over the “wooos” and screaming of their baby shower party games. To put into context of how loud this group was, I left the dining area to used the ladies room and I could STILL hear them screaming across the building.

The staff handled the situation with respect and care and asked them to be considerate of other diners and their experience. Instead of quieting, the group were rude and disrespectful to the staff and (who I assumed to be) the owner.

The entitlement and behavior of the group was abominable and I felt so bad the staff and owner experienced such blatant disrespect from customers.

We didn’t let this experience ruin our afternoon tea. The tea, sandwiches, and scones were absolutely delicious and I highly recommend the London Tea Room!
