The Library Lounge in Lambeth

Tetiana was a lovely waitress. The afternoon tea was amazing. She ensured the sparkling wine flowed the entire time. Relaxing environment with beautiful views of the Thames.

We visited this lovely restaurant, located inside the London Marriott at County Hall, for noon tea. The room is lined with beautiful bookcases, and there are fantastic views over the Thames. Aurora, our server, was attentive throughout our meal and made sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. Food was good and plentiful, both sweet and savory. It was definitely a treat for both of us.

Incredible experience. The views were amazing. The food, tea and sparkling wine were delicious, but above all, the service was unbeatable and magical. Special thanks to Nathalia for her kind and personal attention. We would definitely recommend!

This spot was great for a casual lunch. Tetiana was our server and she our dining experience amazing. Thank you

Chandra and Jonathan were the most attentive waitstaff. Never had to ask for refills or really ask what was coming next. I throughly enjoyed my experience and would recommend this particular waitstaff to any visitors and tourist alike.

Went to “The Library” for a bottomless high tea in the afternoon to avoid a cold and dreary London afternoon. One work to describe this experience is - FABULOUS. The food was delicious, the sparkling wine was free flowing, and the service was spectacular. Our waiter was Mr. Chandra and he was absolutely fantastic. As Americans we are a bit particular and like to have our waters constantly refilled and full. Mr. Chandra was on it and kept sure to answer all of our questions and keep our glasses full at all times. We never had to flag anyone down- best service we’ve had on our European trip so far. Highly recommend this place for an afternoon high tea while in London!

An lovely festive afternoon tea. The tea selection was extensive and explained to us by our friendly helpful server Tetiana. A good range of sandwiches, pastries and scones with a Christmas twist.

Afternoon tea was absolutely glorious. Made us all feel really special and the service was exceptional.

The food looked fancy and tasted good. It certainly didn’t taste as good as it looked or cost though. What I was most disappointed with however was that despite having notified the restaurant in advance that it was my daughter’s birthday, not one person wished her a Happy Birthday. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make a difference, and sadly the staff at the Marriott were more concerned about handing out cards to request a review rather than trying to make a little girl’s birthday special.

Wow tea service with Tetiana was amazing. She went above and beyond to accommodate us, was very knowledgeable, and pleasant. This was definitely the highlight of our trip and I will highly recommend this to anyone visiting London. The tea was outstanding, the atmosphere and food was very authentic. 10/10! Must visit!

The high tea experience was really nice. I would definitely do it again and recommend it. Our server Nathalia was lovely. Really nice. She made the experience even better

Great place to enjoy an excellent afternoon tea. Wide choice of different types of tea, excellent food and the tables have magnificent views of the Thames, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Our waiter Chandra was very kind and very attentive to our needs.

Great view and lovely relaxing afternoon tea. Nathalia was a perfect host. I would definitely recommend

Afternoon Tea was delicious, our server Nathalia was very knowledgeable on the menu and which Teas we should try. She was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend!

It was a very good experience in this afternoon tea with my server Natnalia, you should have afternoon tea here, they are good on tea selection.

Visited the Marriot hotel during new years, staff was very welcoming and accommodating. One of the receptionist, Silver, gave me insights on the history and art behind the hotel and I learned a great deal. The warmest of welcomes in the coldest of days.

Beautiful location in the Marriot Hotel, directly opposite Big Ben and Westminster. Very expensive, but high quality and a unique view. Service was very good, they even fulfilled our request for a different table after asking, as we of course wanted to sit by the...
