Afternoon tea is a cherished British tradition, central to London's culture, now popular with American tourists seeking an authentic experience. The article highlights five top venues, including The Berkeley, known for its innovative 'Goûtea,' featuring Cedric Grolet's stunning illusion cakes. Also mentioned is The Goring, where patrons can enjoy either traditional or extravagant Bollinger Afternoon Tea, celebrated for its quality and fresh scones. While the ritual has evolved since the 19th century, it remains a sophisticated and enjoyable way to experience British hospitality.
"Afternoon tea is the quintessential British pastime, akin to how we picture the Spanish enjoying their afternoon siesta, albeit with a more elegant touch to dispel the afternoon lull."
"The Berkeley showcases a unique 'Goûtea' experience designed by Cedric Grolet, featuring artistic cakes, delightful sandwiches, and exquisite tea blends, which redefine the charm of afternoon tea."
