Before the short, stout, handle-and-spouted teapot of today, there was just a bowl; a simple clay Chinese vessel that was made to hold and infuse tea leaves in hot water, before it was poured through a hole or strainer. It took until the 16th Century for the first actual teapot to appear, in Yixing, China: a town now famed for its teapots.

Service was awful. For £190 for tea for two, we deserved it to be at least decent.

Wow what can I say - let’s begin from the start - we had a lovely wonder around the building and then had a cheeky glass of bubbles in the wine bar - where the staff were fab and so welcoming - this gave us a great feeling for what was to come Our allotted time was 1.30 - we arrived early but this was no trouble at all All of the team were fantastic and explained everything and were so very attentive - amel was just brilliant We went for the savory afternoon tea and it was truly magnificent- It was unlimited so really was exceptional value for money And we even got a takeaway box at the end We weren’t rushed and left when we were ready Amazing - highly recommend

While the food (especially the scone) is good and delicious, they can pay more attention to details …for example the teapot came with tea stains and scratch marks ( we are group of 4, all 4 teapots had tea stains and scuff marks). I am not sure that’s acceptable for a company that sells high end china/tea set and offer fine afternoon tea experience. This is my 5th visit over 10 years, I would say the overall quality has declined but is still worth a visit for the experience if you are a first time tourist in London.
