Afternoon Tea in South Kensington

Afternoon Tea at The Adria is designed for guests seeking a quieter, more intimate London experience. Served within our elegant 19th-century townhouse in South Kensington, our Afternoon Tea offers a refined alternative to the city’s grand and often crowded hotel tea rooms.

Set in a residential neighbourhood, The Adria provides a peaceful backdrop for conversation, relaxed celebrations, and unhurried moments. The experience is intentionally personal and discreet, making it well suited to those who value privacy, thoughtful service, and a calm atmosphere.

Our afternoon tea focuses on classic flavours, thoughtful presentation, and attentive service, offering a refined London tradition in a residential, five-star hotel atmosphere.

We offer a dedicated Gluten-Free or Vegan Afternoon Tea with 24hr advance notice.

We invite you to savour this quintessential British pastime with us, as we embark on a journey through the timeless traditions of tea.

Available Mon- Sun  12p.m. – 3:30p.m.

Spring & Summer Afternoon Tea at The Adria – launching 6th March

From 6th March, we welcome the arrival of our Spring & Summer  Afternoon Tea, a seasonal expression inspired by lightness, balance, and the gentle transition into early summer. Thoughtfully crafted by our chefs, the new menu celebrates delicate textures, vibrant flavours, and refined presentation, using carefully selected ingredients that reflect the freshness of the season.

Guests can expect a harmonious progression of classic finger sandwiches, freshly baked plain and fruit scones served with Dorset clotted cream and preserves, and an elegant selection of spring-inspired sweets — all designed to be enjoyed at an unhurried pace. The experience may be complemented with a glass of Lanson Le Black Reserve Champagne or Saicho Sparkling Tea, offering a contemporary alternative to the traditional pairing.

Our Spring Afternoon Tea continues to reflect The Adria’s philosophy of discreet luxury and attentive, personal service, set within the calm surroundings of our South Kensington townhouse.
