Lanes of London in City of London, Westminster

We went for festive afternoon tea. Three friends from various parts of the country on a Christmas Day out in London. I have always been sceptical about afternoon tea having been disappointed many times in the past. All I can say is WOW!! So imaginative! This was incredible value for money & looked & tasted amazing! £50 including a glass of Prosecco. So refreshing not to have a plate of boring sandwiches The staff were delightful & the restaurant was lovely. I will definitely be returning.

I booked afternoon tea for a 40th birthday treat. We were very well taken care of from start to finish of our visit. I had two members who have limited mobility and this was well accommodated. Also our waitor Vivian was friendly, professional and very attentive. The food was delicious. Staff also provided a birthday cake 🎂 complimentary. I recommend Lanes of London and will be returning soon! Thank you

Nice Christmas afternoon tea. If you have a sweet tooth you'll enjoy it a lot.

I went here for an afternoon tea for my Birthday and we felt just really special and celebrated here! The Service was outstanding, super friendly, accommodating and very attentive! The afternoon tea itself was fantastic! The selection of teas was excellent and all the little cakes were so special and made with so much love to detail, it was just really overall a fabulous experience!

Nos regalaron un vale de “Comprar un regalo” para nuestra boda. Elegimos usarlo en un té botánico por la tarde para dos en Lanes of London, Park Lane. El proceso de reserva fue todo en línea y muy sencillo. Llegamos y nos mostraron a nuestra mesa. Necesitábamos enviar el comprobante por correo electrónico a la dirección que nos dieron una vez que nos sentamos y nos instalamos. Vivian era nuestro servidor y era muy amable, acogedor y atento durante nuestra visita. La comida era exquisita y cada bocado tan bueno como el siguiente. Como esto era una celebración nos dieron un pedazo extra de pastel. Elegimos este lugar en parte porque era algo que no habíamos experimentado en una zona tan encantadora y también porque eran mucho más serviciales que todas las otras opciones. Estamos tan contentos de haberlo hecho, la experiencia fue perfecta.

Comida y servicio excepcionales. Particular agradecimiento a Vivian y Barsha que nos cuidaron durante nuestra visita. Fue un placer conocer a uno de los chefs también. Espero volver pronto para probar el resto del menú! Un hermoso restaurante con excelente ambiente.

Experiencia de té por la tarde. Inusual, sabroso, bien presentado. Iconos de Londres como pasteles = encantador. Opción sabrosa para veganos - catering para todos. El servicio fue excelente.

I stayed at the Marriott Park Lane, and breakfast was served at Lanes of London. The food was fresh and flavorful, with a wide variety of options to choose from. What made the experience truly stand out was the impeccable service, especially from our waiter, Vivian. He was incredibly attentive, polite, and made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant start to our day. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend both the hotel and the restaurant. I will definitely return!

Best English breakfast I've had! The waitress is very friendly and accommodating.

We were greeted by the beautiful waitress Martha. She follows it through the whole brunch menus and was extremely kind and generous. We had burrata, superfood salat of chicken burger. Everything was very fresh, juicy and delicious. Very tasteful 👌

Excellent service and quality of food and tea. Vivian was probably the most personnable and professional server we've encountered during our trip in the UK. We felt the hospitality at the Lanes of London.

It's our first time to try this restaurant for afternoon tea for our 1st wedding anniversary. We were very well looked after by all staff and specially by Marie at the Restaurant , who has been very courteous and 5 star service. we feel very welcomed and definitely will come back again.

Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere, been a couple times over couple of years, be nice to see something different on the menu but still amazing

The staff are so attentive, and food is lovely, especially the aubergine dish, which is vegan.

Lovely afternoon tea. We had someone with a nut allergy in our party & it did add to some confusion.

I came here for afternoon tea and was really impressed. Vivian was our host and he went above and beyond to make sure our experience was something to remember. Excellent customer service from Vivian. He explained everything on the menu and the food was delicious especially the savoury. I loved the combination of the ingredients and also the variety of teas which you can have unlimited. It was divine. Thank you so much Vivian. GOD BLESS YOU

We came here for afternoon tea, and it was absolutely wonderful. Our host, Vivian, was really welcoming and explained the menu, offering us helpful recommendations. I was especially touched by the birthday surprise when Vivian and another waiter sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It made the day even more special. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

The service was perfect, very polite and attentive

Took one hour to order and serve drinks.

We had the lunch set menu and it was a really good experience. Wait staff always had a smile on their face - great service!

Don't bother. Honestly an awful experience. Atmosphere was dead, only 3 other people - one man was cheering throughout a football match he was watching on his iPad. We came for a drink, that was limited to only 5 days. Firstly the waitress had no idea what it was. Secondly she said she'll make it, and after waiting half an hour, she came with a different drink. She said "it's the same thing but just not the same colour or presentation"... then she sassily tried convincing me to keep it. I just walked out.

The breakfast was delicious and our choices were omelette and French toast. The taste and service were nice and light, not heavy. The restaurant was also very quiet.

Service was awesome. Food prepared to perfection. And I visited later than normal dining time.

Food at the highest level, at a good price with first-class service. Probably far exceeds most other restaurants. Extremely beautifully furnished and dignified. Perfect for a quiet evening!

3 course tasting menu was lovely. Service was very good. Vivian was extra hospitable as were the staff in general. Also, not every day the chef comes out to ask how you found the food. I had the park belly... 🤤

Such a pleasant experience dining at Lanes of London. The food is excellent and the service is top notch. Eat here several times during my wife and I’s trip to London. Our waiter, Vivian has made the experience so pleasant with his friendly approach, and him remembering our favorites dish how we like it, as well as our favorite seat.

I went to the restaurant for dinner. High quality ingredients, excellent service. Not a huge menu, with vegetarian options. Excellent soups and desserts. You must try the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Very good! Beautiful hotel (wonderful bathrooms).

It was a really great afternoon tea experience during my trip to England with my mom. The food was delicious and the location was great, so I enjoyed walking around Hyde Park with my mom. And I was grateful to the Indian person who served me for his friendly response.

My friend and I went for afternoon tea before Christmas. We were greeted and seated by friendly staff. The waiter fully explained the afternoon tea menu and we made our tea selections. The thing that I like about this afternoon tea is that you get two of everything so that both of you get to try everything on offer. I have had afternoon tea in other places where you only get one of everything and you have to cut them in half in order to be able to taste them all. The selection of sandwiches was interesting and some not to my taste but this is personal. Trying to pay the bill at the end was slightly problematic and it felt like we struggled to get anyone’s attention once we were ready to leave. This meant that we ended up approaching a member of staff to pay on the way out as we waited a long time after asking two members of staff for the bill. It was a pleasant experience but not the best or worst afternoon tea we have had, we would recommend and return.

Good food. Good ambiance. Overall good experience. Waiters were kind and trying their best but it was slightly slow and we had to call a couple of times for something. This is usually normal but for what they are trying to project which is high end afternoon tea experience; it’s not quite there yet. The food was aesthetically pleasing, the tea was lovely with free refill. Good amount and quality meeting the price we are paying for. The taste was mostly alright. Scones were alright. The fruit tart and chocolate bûche cake were great. We didn’t feel rushed and it was an intimate area we were sitting in. I would say it feels like an experience where there is nothing bad to say about it but that you won’t go for again. Acceptable price. Not 5 stars.

The host Vivian was quite wonderful and has given us above and beyond service to make sure we are well taken care of throughout our entire "wish upon a star" afternoon tea. He kindly suggested the portion and has excellent knowledge on the tea. The view was excellent too, in front of Hyde park. Overall, a wonderful experience made special by the staff, specially Vivian.

Second to none service, very delicious and fresh afternoon tea. Booking system could be improved. However overall experience is phenomenal.

Goooood! The dishes are very good, but the service a little long... but it's worth the wait We took the £50 menu, it was great 👍🏼 I recommend

Nice breakfast. Thank you Vivian for your service

We were very fortunate to have stayed in London Marriott Hotel Park Lane during our stay we had breakfast here every day for a week, we fell in love with the warm amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff, the food very clean and delicious, we have a special message for our server Vivian Rato who took very good care of us during our stay thank you for your hospitality and professionalism.

Dined here for dinner celebrating a birthday and it was exceptional with the service being very attentive but not intrusive, and the food being incredible. Every dish was created with amazing care and precision, and everything tasted fantastic. There was not a single dish we ordered that I did not like. As it was a birthday celebration they brought out a beautifully decorated cake with a message on it. A lovely touch from the kitchen. This restaurant is highly recommended!

My daughter and I had a lovely afternoon tea here. I would highly recommend.Our waiter was very helpful. Food was well presented and tasted amazing.

The food is incredibly good, the staff could be a little nicer but overall a good experience. I would definitely recommend

We loved it, so calm and relaxing. The staff was extremely kind and quick. We are def coming back next year. The vegan choices were incredibly good!

A very nice restaurant with extremely reasonably priced food. So very nice and quiet. The waiter was extremely attentive but not bothersome. We started with appetizers (pan seared scallops & a lobster and prawn croquette). Beautiful presentation (forgot to snap pictures) and very flavorful. Would definitely order them again! We both ordered the Fish & Chips and I have to say, they were some of the best I’ve ever had in London over the years. Huge chunks of white fish with a breading that was neither too thick nor too thin that had a fantastic CRUNCH! The mushy peas were flavored with an herb mixture. The chips (French Fries for us Americans) were very good. Perfectly fried. We were so full we had to skip deserts, but plan to come back to try their offerings which I have no doubt will also impress. Give this place a try…you won’t be disappointed.

Just a below average hotel restaurant and they will ignore you if you’re not a hotel guest.

We were here for afternoon tea. The food was beautifully presented and the staff was very kind. The scones and the savoury were very good. The pastries were just very sweet and didn’t taste like very much.

Typical overpriced hotel restaurant where you pay a lot of money for small amounts of extremely mediocre food. This was to be expected. What wasn't is that every single waiter and waitress walks around looking straight down to make 100% sure you don't have a chance of waving at them or catching their eye when you need something. In addition to this they make an active effort not to check on you so unless you literally go up to the bar and ask for things you can sit at a table unbothered for hours. Most fast food restaurants have better service than this sad old hotel bar.

i visited here as of hotel breakfast. For the breakfast: la carte of very limited menu no open buffet available. For the service: I had to repeat my order 3 to 4 times to get it well. Overall: average nothing special

I went here with my best friend for her 21st birthday, we did the botanical afternoon tea. Viviene our waiter was fantastic! Very attentive, welcoming and informative! The tea came with savoury treats, scones & a selection of beautifully crafted sweet treats! You are also served teas that are complimentary during the meal. Highly recommend!

Tried the Ribeye steak, was very nice and soft. Stag was friendly and welcoming!

Ottimo ristorante inglese Elegante e a prezzi contenuti Zona commerciale e turistica Ma questo è un pregio Da provare.

Overall an average dinner / evening at Lanes of London. Food was ok, limited wine list and very little atmosphere, with few tables full, for what should be a busy Thursday night. My personal view is that there are so many better places to have dinner in the Mayfair area. The evening ended on a low point when I received the bill and saw that they had added a 12.5% service charge, which to be fair, I thought was fine and I was happy to pay. However, when the waiter came to our table with the card machine, he had added a further 10% service charge to the machine. When I asked why there was a further tip added, as the service charge was already included on the bill, he became a little flustered and just said “some of our guests like to give an extra tip …” in other words, those guests who hadn’t realised that service was already included on the bill, and thought they were only paying 10% - not 22.5%! Please be transparent with your service charges - that was not good form!

Had a lovely meal with top class service. Would return.

Had an lovely afternoon tea yesterday afternoon with waiter Vivian being friendly, chatty and very attentive as well as taking care of us all afternoon! The afternoon tea was crafted with such thought. Will definitely come back!

We had such a lovely time visiting lanes of London for a late lunch a couple of weeks ago. The lady who I believe is the manager of the restaurant is always so welcoming and friendly…she remembers us every time we visit. She helped us with menu choices and made us feel at home. Our lunch was made even more enjoyable with a complimentary drink to welcome us back. This was much appreciated and a very kind gesture. The food was delicious as always and the service fantastic. We look forward to visiting again.

Absolutely beautiful afternoon tea! And the service was excellent! I would definately recommend and will certainly be returning!

Went for afternoon tea. The service was good, and tea recommendations were made for each layer of the cake stand, which gave the opportunity to try different teas and spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

Went for afternoon tea and had a wonderful time! Staff very attentive, friendly, and really went the extra mile to make things special for our anniversary. Highly recommend!

Was shopping in Mayfair area and had strong eager to have afternoon tea so we called the lanes of London if there’s any seat available. Fortunately there is! We had afternoon tea with bubble. The sweets were amazing though it was not unlimited supply. Overall it was a good experience. Highly recommended!

I went there with my wife for an early afternoon tea and we were not disappointed. Our waiter Vivian took great care of us being very attentive with all our needs. The setting is very nice and cosy. Vivian paired the teas with each meal set beautifully and I would pike to thank him for this. The presentation of the food was very well done. The quality of the food was high dining all done with delicate delicious flavours. Thank you for having us.

Came here for afternoon tea before our spa treatments. Had a great time in this wonderful hotel restaurant. The service was immaculate - the servers explained everything to us thoroughly and were accommodating to my allergies and teetotal lifestyle. Loved the concept of the afternoon tea: a walk through Hyde Park. I've definitely had a better tasting afternoon tea, but I appreciate the thought and craftsmanship behind the one offered here, even if the execution wasn't perfect. Overall, if you get the chance to have afternoon tea here before your spa, go for it!

We took the family, three grandchildren aged 5, 6 and 8 plus our children and partners to celebrate our Golden Wedding with afternoon tea for the adults while the children selected from the kids menu. The afternoon tea was delicious , the savouries (note not sandwiches) were imaginative looked and tasted wonderful. The tea stand had two well made and again delicious, warm scones with plenty of jam and cream. But by far the star of the show, as it should be were the "fancies". Beautifully presented on the bird cage stand. The children ate all their meals and were then more than happy to join the adults in vieng for a pastry! If this wasn't enough each "course" was accomopanied by a different tea. The flavours and the reason why they were being served explained by our attentive waiter Vivian, who truly looked after us during our meal. If you're looking for something different do give it a try, we were"bowled over"

Lovely waiting staff , Vivian displaying world class customer service !attentive, always available and no query is too much. Just outstanding!

Booked a 2 pm slot for afternoon tea...a wonderful experience! The photos speak for themselves!! Go try it!!

Afternoon tea yesterday was excellent!! glass of bubbly, Jasmine white tea and the host was warm, friendly and helpful. Brilliant 😊

It was an unforgettable experience most especially because of the atmosphere and the professional service of Miguel and Vivienne. The food and tea selection were superb! I would highly recommend everyone to grab an afternoon tea there :)

Wonderful breakfast at Lanes of London! Excellent coffee and delicious breakfast offerings. Dined each morning and received a warm welcome from the staff. Especially enjoyed having Vivian wait on our table!

We had an amazing time, enjoying fantastic food and great service from our waiter Vivian. A truly outstanding experience!

Thank you to Evy and Frankie for the beautiful afternoon tea! They gave us a unique experience at a time they weren't even serving, so a huge THANK YOU to the team :)

Tea time at Lanes of London was spectacular. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London. The teas were delicious and the pastries and sandwiches were so wonderfully curated and so pretty. The space is comfortable and airy and the service was impeccable. If you’re fortunate to have Vivian as your server it’ll be an experience you’ll never forget. He was EXCELLENT!

While staying at the attached hotel, we had dinner here and were treated to great food and service from stary to finish!

On a walkabout of London, we stopped into Lanes of London looking for lunch. The scallops with octopus and purple potatoes were so delicate and delicious. Mains of fish and chips and aubergine in a coconut curry sauce were so tasty. We were unable to fit in a dessert - that was until we were surprised with an Easter plate with a large pink macaroon, a chocolate basket and some mini eggs. We had such an enjoyable lunch and were so glad we stopped here. Next time we are in London we will be back!

Pasqua a Londra al "the lanes" . Pranzo inglese, ottima qualità. Personale professionale e gentilissimo. Hanno accolto la nostra bizzarra richiesta di concludere il pasto con una Colomba portata dall'Italia col sorriso e l'abbiamo condivisa con loro e altri clienti. Ps anche il caffè..buono. Da tornare.

Great place to go once you finish your shopping! I highly recomend the place and ...the service is spectacular. Carlos and Ricardo...we felt very well! You are marvellous professionals! With worker as you....I will come to Lane of London back!

We went for afternoon tea at Lanes of London on 25th March. Being sans enfants we were looking forward to some "us" time in a relaxing environment with good food. I can honestly say that everything about the experience was faultless, from the welcome to...

Delicious food, friendly staff, lovely place. I go there when i want to meet friends or for business meetings, sometimes even on a date. It is a great relaxed place. I feel like home when i am there.

One of my favourite hotels in London, I frequently pop in for meetings or if I want a quiet drink, Sunday dinner or with my laptop to do some work. I must say, I would come strictly for the sticky toffee pudding because this place had the best sticky toffee pudding but it's gone proper downhill. The shell used to be much crunchier and it was just different, now its soft and not the same. They've completely changed the ingredients of the shell. Wouldn't order it anymore. I've had dinner here several times, had salmon, roast dinners, burger & chips or I'll come and just grab some bar bites, i.e. mini burgers / arancini / chips etc, but I came for dinner a few months back and had the miso salmon which was not nice at all - gets a bit sickening after. All in all, my favourite spot in London, will return again and again and again and again. Only recommendation that I would recommend is some charging points near the seating areas as there is very limited seating with a plug point.

Nice experience Service was good food was above then expected

Wow!! went for my grandmothers 80th birthday and Vivian was our server. He was a charming man and really took the time to care for us. They surprised us with a cake and was very careful with my dietary requirements. Not only was the food...

Maybe not the cheapest, but you get your money's worth

I was in London for 5 days. Friend of mine recommended me, Lanes of London, for an afternoon tea. I had an amazing experience , EVI , was always there, helpful and kind.
