Step into the refined world of Harrods afternoon tea at The Georgian, where British tradition meets elegant indulgence. Enjoy finely crafted sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream, and an array of sweet delights. This hidden gem is the perfect way to savour London’s history while relaxing in style.
When in London, it’s easy to get swept up in the bustle of Oxford Street or the grandeur of Buckingham Palace. But tucked away in the heart of Knightsbridge lies an experience that’s as quintessentially British as a red double-decker – the Harrods afternoon tea at The Georgian. This isn’t just tea; it’s an immersion into tradition, refinement and the storied history of one of the world’s most famous department stores. The Georgian’s charm lies in its ability to transport you away from the busy shopping floors into a serene, sunlit dining room, where live piano music fills the air and fine china gleams under crystal chandeliers. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to relive a cherished memory, this is the kind of hidden gem that transforms an afternoon in London into something timeless. And with menus to suit every taste, it’s an experience you’ll carry home long after the last sip.
From the moment you’re welcomed at the front desk, the service at The Georgian sets the tone for the entire Harrods afternoon tea experience. The staff escort you to a beautifully dressed table, complete with crisp linen and delicate tableware – a perfect setting for an indulgent escape from London’s fast pace.
Head Chef Mikey Seferynski explains the philosophy behind the menu:
“Afternoon Tea at The Georgian is both classy and elegant – just like our restaurant. Our menus are inspired by the seasons and Harrods dishes from the past, featuring only the best ingredients. We remain classic but ensure guests are eating the very best version of each dish, from our sandwiches to our scones and pastries.”
Your journey begins with a selection of finger sandwiches, featuring classics like cucumber, smoked salmon and cheese & pickle, all reimagined with Harrods’ signature finesse. Vanesa - Buyagift’s Social Media Executive noted:
“We started with amazing service from the front desk who showed us to our seats. I opted for a traditional English brew, though coffee lovers are well catered for. The first round included beautifully curated sandwiches – pesto, salmon, and more – while the second was all about the sweets.”
For those with dietary requirements, Harrods ensures no one misses out. A completely gluten-free menu was served to one guest, with no compromise on flavour or presentation.
The next act is where The Georgian truly shines – warm, golden scones, with a fluffy centre and a lightly toasted crust. Served with clotted cream and a house-made strawberry jam, they strike the perfect balance between indulgence and comfort.
Georgia - Buyagift’s Social Manager summed it up beautifully:
“The Harrods Afternoon Tea at The Georgian was gorgeous. The experience began with finger sandwiches, followed by scones with a selection of jams, and finished with sweet treats and pastries. A live pianist entertained us and since it was a sunny day, we even had tea on the terrace.”
The sweet selection is as much a visual feast as a culinary one – colourful pastries and cakes, each crafted with precision, offering flavours from light and fruity to rich and chocolatey.
Why This is the Ideal London Experience
The Harrods afternoon tea isn’t just about food; it’s about stepping into a slice of London’s cultural heritage. You’re surrounded by the elegance of a historic department store, entertained by live music, and treated to a menu that marries tradition with a modern twist.
If you’re looking for a truly memorable gift, an afternoon tea voucher for The Georgian offers the chance to enjoy this iconic experience without the rush of everyday London life.
