Great atmosphere. Exactly like an English Tea! You can ask to have your scones warmed. That was my only wish was hit scones!

My best friend and I book a date at The London Tea Room every month, or so. It’s a gem, and we enjoy every moment we’re there.The atmosphere is charming and the staff is top notch. We always end our visit with a friendly chat in the gift shoppe where we’re greeted with delightful conversation about the latest tea flavors and best goodies to take home.Five stars just isn’t enough for this little piece of British charm.

My husband and I attended tartan day at the London Tea Room 4/6/2024. Our waiter served us the wrong tea and when we let him know it was the wrong tea, he did not offer to exchange it. We asked him 3 times to leave the salmon off of our tray as my husband has a severe allergy and he still brought salmon. When we let him know, he argued with us that the salmon was not salmon. Later he came back and let us know that it was in fact salmon and took away the entire plate. We had to ask another server for more tea, and despite the fact he appeared to have only three tables, he did not emerge from the back very often. Not only did he not apologize for his mistakes, he argued with us. We will not be returning to the London tea room which is sad because we used to go many times a year.

I went to The London Tea Room for my birthday this year and it was wonderful. I highly recommend going if you have the money for it and/or you have allergies. They have the best allergy-friendly food (gluten free, vegan, AND ALPHA GAL SAFE) and tea selection I’ve seen and eaten at a resturaunt in St. Louis so far and the staff was highly accommodating! 10/10 would recommend to schedule a reservation and dine at this establishment. I will definitely be going again.Dietary restrictions: The staff were amazing at helping us navigate the menu and determine if we could eat all of the options. We called ahead to see and they had a good vegan and gluten free selection! They were even alpha gal safe with the vegan options! Not only that but I had no reactions from the food and the food was absolutely amazing.

Took my girlfriend here for her birthday and treated her to an afternoon tea. I've been to the old and new location and the new location is way bigger and more open. The desserts are just ok but the scones and savory sandwiches are delicious. The service was good. The price is reasonable.

Full disclosure- I've never been here as just a customer, but I've performed here a couple of times. Each time I am blown away by everything about this place. The atmosphere is incredible, the food is exquisite and memorable, and everyone that works here is kind and positive and friendly. I'm planning on bringing my fiancé in for a date night soon. I can't reccomend this place enough, everything about it is worth the trip.

Went here for a bridal shower celebration and it was perfect. Great for a fun date with the gals! Tea was AMAZING, food was pretty good. Servers were great and friendly. Price was a bit high, but paying for the experience more than the quantity!
The London Tea Room was everything we hoped for! Amazing ambience (felt like we were in Europe!), so many tea options and so well prepared, wonderful food, and lovely service. I took my mother and mother by love and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for working so hard to make this a beautiful experience!

Perfect venue for a special occasion or just a time you need to feel special. Thomas, our server, wore a smile as he quietly and efficiently served the three tiered trays filled with an excellent high tea assortment of sweet and savory treats. Recommending the Naughty Vicar hot tea, but there are many favor options served in individual teapots for each diner. Gift shop with teas and related novelties.
I just visited the London Tea Room at their new location at Locust and 22nd for the first time (have been to their old location several times). We were able to get a late afternoon same-day reservation for 4 people on a Sunday which was great. The new space is lovely, open and bright, with lots more space for the tables and an expanded staff. We had a nice server, and she helped us navigate the menu. All four of us got the Afternoon Tea. I ordered it vegan (this is a standard menu option!) and the rest of my party ordered the standard version. For tea we ordered: Emma (seasonal) Lavender and Spearmint Canadian Vicar Queen of Hearts All four teas were awesome. I'd really recommend the Emma and Canadian Vicar especially. For food I'm going to list off just the vegan items, and I'm guessing on some of them (our server was very new, only second day and didn't know the exact items quite yet): Cucumber sandwich w/ vegan cream cheese Crostini with tomato basil sauce vegan Quinoa tomato stuffed mini Croissant vegan Lavender Scone (vegan) with jam and clotted cream (normal dairy -- I gave it to my friends) Lemon shortbread sandwich cookie with buttercream frosting between (vegan) Strawberry cheesecake (vegan) Drop cookie with dried black currants (vegan) Millionaire peanutbutter shortbread (vegan) **again I'm guessing on the names of the items here! Had a lovely time, we stayed for about 1.5 hours and it was relaxed and peaceful with piano music (think the soundtrack from Pride and Prejudice). Despite having to drive downtown now (right next to the STL City Soccer Stadium!) this is well worth the trip! We will be back, especially with the higher likelihood of getting shorter term reservations or walk-in spots now that they're in a bigger space!

I go here about three times a year. Every time I've come, I order their high-quality tea, eat food with friends and family, then leave. The people working here are amicable and quick. Their setup looks like a proper social event, which allows me to relax.I highly recommend this place.

Hosted a Baby Shower for my daughter in one of their event rooms upstairs. Still floating over how absolutely PERFECT it was..Beautiful absolutely charming venue, delightful food and tea service!! ( exceeded expectations), execution of event was flawless, the staff just could not do enough for us. They were friendly, responsive to all our needs..(ha all the little details..re-filling the teapots, etc.)while not being obtrusive in any way. The coordinator did a great job too! Definitely a made for a very memorable shower---WELL DONE?Wheelchair accessibility: Had elevator and ramp

Enjoyed Afternoon tea with mom. Made a reservation for a Sunday for her birthday. It was an enjoyable unique experience. I had the naughty vicar which seems to be popular and I can see why. Delicious. My mom had the Marsala chai. She enjoyed it very much. The food was the only thing that I didn't super enjoy. While filling and somewhat unique desserts to match the old English flair with a strawberry cheesecake bar, rock biscuits, apple tart the sandwiches were just ok. Everything felt premade and had a bit of a grocery store sample vibe. It wasn't bad per se but mostly eh.... The chicken croissant was decent but tasted like a grocery store pre made mix. The cucumber sandwich was fun. The salmon crostini was good but tasted like it was a store bought dip. The lavender scones were good but too overpowering for me. I'm sure others would enjoy. The service was good. You could tell everyone was hustling and it was busy. I appreciated the recommendations from our waiter on teas. Overall I enjoyed my first ever afternoon tea experience. I may try a couple different similar businesses for different foods and teas but I would say I will be back to enjoy more tea from here.
