The Gallery at LaLit serves a fusion twist on the English afternoon tea with its Indian High Chai. Of course the teas themselves are Indian but the food itself is also tiny bites of Indian deliciousness. Book a luxurious stay in London and make sure you have afternoon tea on your itinerary. It’s as important as visiting Big Ben or going on the London Eye, so plan your London break and definitely make room to include it. Many of these venues get booked up fast.

Don’t forget that you can also speak to your concierge at your apartment about making bookings for you and you can even organise for afternoon tea to be delivered to your apartment if you wish.
