Combining two of London's favorite activities—sightseeing and enjoying Afternoon Tea—this unique experience offers the best of both worlds aboard a specially designed afternoon tea bus. This charming mobile bakery provides a cozy and elegant setting, perfect for indulging in the beloved British tradition of Afternoon Tea, also known as High Tea or Cream Tea, which has been a cherished ritual since the early 1840s. The concept is simple—sandwiches, cakes, savory nibbles, and a variety of fine teas—but when executed well, the memories last far longer than the meal.
