About The Langham Afternoon Tea
The Langham in London counts itself the birthplace of English afternoon tea, served there without a break since 1865, and its Shanghai sister keeps the ritual: scones, delicate sandwiches and patisserie on a silver stand, with Darjeeling or Earl Grey. It is served in the Lobby Lounge on the first floor, every day from 2pm to 5pm; book ahead at weekends.
