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.

Peaceful, fascinating, exactly as hoped

We allowed the whole day so as not to be in a rush and it was TOTALLY worth it. Wisley is an extraordinarily place to spend time in and the red letter day with the added treat of afternoon tea made it super easy for us to enjoy. Thank you!
