Afternoon tea in the South East

There are plenty of places to enjoy an afternoon tea in England’s beautiful South East region, which encompasses a popular stretch of coastline, two National Parks and a number of famous towns and cities all within easy reach of London.

From a relaxing spa day with afternoon tea in the peaceful university town of Oxford to a quirkier cream tea by the sea in Brighton and from tea at a vineyard to tea by a magnificent royal castle, the options are endless. Head to the South East and combine afternoon tea with a visit to a landmark such as the White Cliffs of Dover or Windsor Castle or let it complement a full day of rambling in the South Downs or the Chiltern Hills.
