Best Afternoon Tea in London

At Brigit's Bakery, we've been serving our L'Afternoon Tea - an exquisite afternoon tea experience with a French twist - for over 12 years.

We feel honoured that our Afternoon Tea Bus Tours and our delightful bakery in Covent Garden have been recognised as one of the best afternoon teas in London. We sit in great 'high tea' company, alongside prestigious brands and tea rooms such as The Lanesborough, The Wolseley, 45 Park Lane, Claridge’s, One Aldwych and The Berkeley.

Best Afternoon Tea London Bus tour - Peppa Pig

Our Peppa Pig Bus Tour - a wonderful treat day out

TAKE A BREAK

This is a wonderful treat day out for Peppa Pig fans. It is pricey, but not when compared to other kids' themed afternoon tea options we've looked at in London, and it's a lovely way to explore London with a young child. The food was delicious, while also being child-friendly, and the staff were warm, friendly and efficient. The whole experience was well organised, and as an adult, I was surprised to find that I enjoyed it as much as Reuben did. We'd rate it a 4.3 out of 5.

Fun gin fuelled afternoon

Really enjoyed this experience, nice music as you go along, sandwiched and cakes are all fresh and you get scones during the tour. There is a tour guide voiceover so you get more of the tourist side of the experience. And of course the gin, in which you get 3 different glasses across the tour. Hats off to the waiters on the tour as they must find it challenging to serve afternoon tea and drinks on a bus!! Overall we all really enjoyed and would go again for sure.

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.

Absolutely loved every minute!

If you’re going to do it…do it on a Brigit’s bus with afternoon tea! Our servers on the day were Micah, Alex and Diogo and they were super. We got to see all the Major landmarks and even got to take home what we couldn’t eat. All in all would highly recommend this experience, with friends or with loved ones this is a really special treat.

Fantastic birthday gift

I booked this for 5 Adults for my sisters 40th Birthday - and have to say it was amazing!! The food was delicious, the selection of drinks too, and the attention to detail was so cute! You got to keep the hot tea flasks that drinks were served in - and they gave out little pink takeaway boxes for any spare cakes! As it was my sisters birthday they brought out a cake with a candle and we all sung happy birthday! I will be highly recommending this to my friends!

A lovely tour of London with delicious food & drink!

We went on a Brigit's Afternoon Tea Bus in London on a Wednesday afternoon. The staff members, Katherine and Aziz, were very nice and friendly, serving our drinks and easily answering any questions that we had. The food was delicious, especially the desserts!
