Afternoon Tea

A little extra sparkle for your Afternoon Tea

Champagne Afternoon Tea has become a mainstay of the London social scene and nobody does it better than The Rubens.

Select Date

Bottomless Champagne Afternoon Tea

Dating back to 1840, Afternoon Tea was a concept invented by the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anna Maria Russell, who began requesting a tea, bread, butter, and cake be sent to her room late afternoon, to stave off hunger pangs before her evening meal. Ever since then, the popularity of Afternoon Tea has soared, immortalising Afternoon Tea as a stalwart British tradition.


Today, Champagne Afternoon Tea and Bottomless Afternoon Tea have become mainstays of the London social scene and (although we might be a little biased) we think the menus we offer at The Rubens are some of the best in the country.

There is no better way to celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a catch up with a beloved friend or relative than to settle into an armchair in our opulent Palace Lounge and raise a glass together over a selection of delicate finger sandwiches, moreish pastries, and perfectly baked scones. Our Champagne Afternoon Tea menu includes a perfectly chilled glass of Lanson Black Label Champagne to add a touch of sparkle to the occasion.
