Traditional Afternoon Tea in London with Brigit's Bakery

Three words sum up Brigit's Bakery - attention to detail.

Sometime you just know when you walk in to a place that it’s going to be good. We met up with family from afar to celebrate a birthday and had the gin afternoon tea at the bakery. We were greeted with a smile and a delicious fresh orange juice. The afternoon tea menus were on the table so we knew what we would be served, and to pick from the wide range of teas. They catered happily for our gluten free, vegetarian and pescatarian guests. The sandwiches were wonderful, different types of bread that complimented each of the fillings. We were asked regularly if we wanted any additional drinks and if everything was ok. We loved the teapots too! Thank you for making this such a special afternoon.

The food was lovely!

Booked this for a friend for her birthday. It was a fantastic experience! The food was lovely and our hosts Svets and Kasey were great - friendly, efficient, and managed to handle a large party who had booked with grace and charm! One of our party was a vegan, one vegetarian and one traditional, and all of the food - sweet and savoury - was fantastic - from finger sandwiches to scones and mouthwatering desserts. The bus is comfy, if a little bouncy! And the route takes in all the sights.

Super Friendly Staff

My friend and I are from America and decided to do the afternoon tea bus. The staff was so friendly and really made our experience enjoyable! This was a great way to see around London. I was also happy that they had a dedicated vegetarian menu. I would recommend doing this tour.

Accommodating to Gluten Free, Overall Fantastic

This was such a fun experience! Kathi and Azacena were amazing. I’m gluten free and I was pleasantly surprised that I had so many options and snacks! We had so much fun and would do this again.

Fantastic experience on the Peppa Pig Bus Tour

First, I was a bit sceptical but I had a great experience with my 5 year old son. They provide gluten free sandwiches and pastry (you have to book in advance at extra 3 pounds) but totally worth it. The drinks are great (free refills) and you get to keep the cups. We enjoyed the tour so much and thanks to the whole team - Tommy, Ruby, Nas and Holley. What an amazing adventure!

Vegan afternoon tea FAQs

What makes Brigit's vegan afternoon tea special?

Our vegan afternoon tea brings a playful twist to a classic British tradition, using plant-based ingredients across savoury bites, handmade patisserie and freshly baked scones. Every item is prepared by our pastry chefs using seasonal inspiration, focusing on flavour, texture and presentation. The result is a full afternoon tea experience that feels familiar, yet fresh and entirely plant-based.

Why choose a vegan afternoon tea?

A vegan afternoon tea suits guests who want a plant-based lifestyle without losing the tradition of afternoon tea. Many choose vegan dining for personal wellbeing, lifestyle preferences or environmental reasons. A plant-based diet removes meat and dairy while still offering variety, flavour and satisfaction across savoury and sweet courses.

How does a vegan diet support wellbeing and lifestyle choices?

A plant-based diet forms part of many people’s wider lifestyle choices. Studies show that reducing or removing meat and dairy supports lower cholesterol levels, improved heart health and increased energy for some individuals. Many guests also choose vegan afternoon tea as part of a balanced approach to eating, combining enjoyment with mindful food choices.

What is the environmental impact of choosing vegan afternoon tea?

Choosing plant-based meals reduces demand for animal farming, which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and land use. Plant-based dining supports lower environmental impact across food production systems. Many guests choose vegan afternoon tea as part of a more conscious approach to dining in London.

Where can I enjoy vegan afternoon tea in London?

You can enjoy vegan afternoon tea at Brigit’s Bakery in Covent Garden or onboard our iconic Routemaster Afternoon Tea Bus Tours. Both experiences serve a fully plant-based afternoon tea across central London, combining traditional British afternoon tea with a vegan menu created by our pastry chefs.
