Charlotte Street Hotel Afternoon Tea

If you haven’t been to the Charlotte Street Hotel Afternoon Tea, you’re really missing a great scene and experience.

In the Spring, Angie from SilverspoonLondon and I popped in to the Charlotte Street Hotel for even more champagne after our lunch date at Bubbledogs. I really enjoyed the fun, colourful atmosphere and knew I definitely wanted to return.

So, when Sophie from Your Girl Is Lovely invited me to join her at the Charlotte Street Hotel Afternoon Tea, I immediately said, ‘Yes!’

– Katie from Kalanchoe
– April from Beautiface
– Khrissie from Khrissie Loves
– Lottie from Love Beauty and Spa
– Jess from Love and London

As you know, I’ve attended many events with Jess. I had the chance to meet Katie and April at a bloggers’ brunch back in May.

Once we were all seated, some of us ordered the Afternoon Tea, and others selected the Bloomsbury Tea. Three separate tea trays arrived at our table. I wasn’t really clear on whose was whose, so I sampled a variety of items.

Because I’m Italian and a self-proclaimed champion eater, I usually finish all the food I order. So, I was sad that I had to leave some scones and sugary treats behind. I just couldn’t manage anymore. But I tried!

You can find their full Afternoon Tea menu here.

If you’re in Fitzrovia near Charlotte Street, I highly suggest stopping in here for post work drinks, afternoon tea, or just to check it out. I would guess their other menus are pretty amazing too. The Charlotte Street Hotel also attracts a chic crowd, and the food I had was outstanding.

The Hotel is part of the Firmdale Hotels, and I honestly don’t know much about them. Sunny friends, if you have any insight on what a stay is like there, I’d love for you to share it in the comments below. Judging by the excellent service and quality of food and drinks both times I’ve been to their restaurant, I’m guessing it’s impressive. Read here for reviews and rates of Charlotte Street Hotel.

    The Fiemdale group is an absolute favourite if mine! Owned by a husband and wife team, the wife does the interior design for all if their hotels! We’ve had our office Christmas party at the Soho hotel and this year will be having it at the Haymarket hotel. Truly fabulous all round!

    Did you know they also have screening rooms & you can watch a film + afternoon tea or a 3 course lunch and free popcorn for something like £35 pp! Well worth it!!

    The interior of the restaurant is lovely such wonderful colours reminds me of a Picasso. The kerb event has really improved your pics they are lovely they make me want to eat the screen. This is definitely on the afternoon tea list Lucy x

      I love the Picasso analogy! I’m still learning the Manual settings option. It’s definitely going to take some time 🙂

    My oh my! I’ve been to quite a few afternoon teas but not this one – though have been into the hotel once and loved it. That lemon vanilla dessert looks utterly divine! Methinks this is next on the list!

      Hello Shika! The food was absolutely outstanding. Every. Single. Bite. I would be very excited about going back and highly recommend it to people. Which afternoon teas would you recommend?

        I love the Athenaeum and for a chocolate fix, I’m a big fan of the chocolate afternoon tea at the London Hilton – so many to try and so few calories for me to spare!! 😀

          Thank you for two great suggestions! I’ll be sure to try them as soon as I can. 🙂
