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.

Celebrating an occasion

We took our friends on an afternoon tea on Brigit's Bus, the food and service was excellent, the staff we very friendly and we had a lovely time celebrating the friends Golden Wedding Anniversary. The weather was cloudy but it did not spoil the trip. It was a lovely afternoon. We look forward to doing it again.

Birthday treat

What a fab afternoon tea including gin, my husband brought this as a birthday present and we all throughly enjoyed it.
We had a table upstairs with great views of London. The sandwiches and cakes were delicious.I will definitely say I would do this tour again

Fantastic Experience

Booked for 2 couples (all around aged 50 😉) for tour and afternoon tea. Greeted by very pleasant and fun staff. Sandwiches and cakes were already at our table and very well presented. Tasted great and was more than enough (couldn't finish it all). We had 2 bottles prosecco pre-ordered and both were chilled and served as required. Good mix of upbeat music for all ages played throughout the 90 minute tour. Little snippets of information on the sites thrown in too

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 first class as was the service

Surprised my wife on her 50th birthday with a group of 14 friends/family on the tour bus. It was absolutely fabulous and everyone had a great time, the food was first class as was the service. I asked them to make a birthday cake and wow it was amazing! The tour itself was also fab and credit to the driver as he must have nerves of steel. I can’t remember the waitresses names but both were so professional and nothing was too much trouble. Top marks and well done Brigit’s Bakery.

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!
