Ah, Outer London—a delightful area that combines suburban charm with some exquisite locations for indulging in the quintessentially British pastime of afternoon tea. The appeal of this region stretches from Kingston upon Thames to Richmond and beyond, offering tranquil settings in which one can enjoy a perfectly steeped brew while nibbling on freshly baked scones. Richmond, for instance, not only boasts the beautiful Richmond Park but is also home to places like The Petersham Hotel, where afternoon tea is served with stunning views of the river and surrounding greenery. Their decadent cakes and pastries, paired with a glass of Champagne, are truly indulgent for both the eyes and the palate. Moving a bit eastwards to Wimbledon, visitors are spoiled with celebrated venues such as The Ivy Cafe—where one can enjoy modern twists on classic afternoon tea staples, from delicate finger sandwiches to irresistible pastries. It is a favourite amongst locals and visitors alike, and their pastel interior creates an almost magical atmosphere. Kingston upon Thames is another gem in the Outer London crown, with options such as Warren House—a Victorian mansion set in charming landscaped gardens. The combination of the serene setting and artisanal treats makes for one of the more tranquil afternoon tea experiences in the area, perfect after an exploration by the river or a leisurely day of shopping. Whether you are after a traditional cream tea or something a little more unique, Outer London holds an understated elegance with its options for this time-honoured tradition.
