When The Langham opened in London in 1865, it became the first hotel in the world to serve afternoon tea. 160 years later, the original Grand Hotel has launched an afternoon tea that celebrates this unique culinary history.
Afternoon Tea was first thought up by Lady Bedford, one of Queen Victoria’s ladies in waiting and it soon became fashionable in high society. But it was The Langham who popularised this tradition by being the first hotel to feature this new meal on its menu when it opened in 1865.
At The Langham, London our ingredients are of the highest quality and so should be the same for our tea! A single garden British tea brand, JING, is our tea of choice with each tea offering a unique character of its garden and maker.
Give the gift of an unforgettable afternoon tea experience at Palm Court, the birthplace of this cherished tradition at The Langham London.
