A Blooming British Afternoon Tea with the Natural History Museum

Welcome to A Blooming British Afternoon Tea in collaboration with the Natural History Museum; a floral-inspired twist on a quintessentially British tradition, in a celebration of the beautiful flowers and precious pollinators on our doorstep.

Taking inspiration from artworks held within the Museum’s archives, their newly transformed gardens that provide a haven for people and wildlife and the idyllic 30-minute nature walk across leafy Hyde Park that brings us together, our talented pastry team have created a delightful menu that beautifully honours the elegance of British flora and fauna, using locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients.

Sit back and enjoy an irresistible assortment of delicately crafted sandwiches, warm baked scones and delectable flora and fauna inspired delicacies, accompanied by two bespoke teas from Camellia’s Tea House. For that added treat, savour a glass of Taittinger Champagne or Nyetimber Sparkling Wine and let the afternoon blissfully slip away!

Signature & Vegan Afternoon Tea served from 1.00pm to 4.00pm | £55 Monday to Friday | £59 Saturday & Sunday

Children’s Afternoon Tea (12 and under) | £30 Monday to Sunday

For our littlest guests, our floral-inspired Blooming British Children’s Afternoon Tea features a delicious selection of miniature finger sandwiches, warm baked scones and flora and fauna inspired sweet bites including a delicious blackberry Ladybird and a butterfly berry and vanilla cheesecake.

 

This special collaboration combines the Museum’s expertise and work to protect the natural world with our ongoing sustainability efforts, and a shared passion for pollinators. Together, we support a future where people and pollinators thrive.
