  Atmosphere was nice and quiet Food was great, especially with the sandwiches and crayfish rolls Scones weren’t bad but perhaps a bit tiny in terms of size, comparing to afternoon teas from elsewhere in London. I had sapphire earl grey tea which helped me to relax after a very tiring and stressful week

  This lovely girly afternoon tea is just what the doctor ordered if you are afternoon tea with the girls! Pretty pink china and beautiful food is what is offered at The Royal Horseguards.The gluten free afternoon tea is still a favourite of mine and let me tell you why.The gluten free sandwiches had a cute twist on the traditional fillings and included an avocado and rocket filling, cheese and tomato and the traditional salmon and cucumber fillings. Its nice to see a twist on the traditional. The gluten free bread was slightly dry otherwise this would be getting a 5/5 review.The gluten free scones were lovely and I actually ate two, something that I don’t normally do as they are normally very heavy but these were extremely good.The Pastries for me were the Pice de rsistance and the Pastry Chef needs to receive one huge cuddle as I loved the variety and the care that was taken in preparing these little bites of sweetness. Meringues, Mojito Lollipops, Ginger Cake, Chocolate Chip cookies and the list goes on it was a gluten free winner!This is truly one of the better gluten free afternoon teas on offer in London.x aroundtheworldin80pairsofshoes.com

  The Royal Horseguards Hotel is in a beautiful location that looks out to the London Eye. We received a very warm welcome and left five hours later. It is one of those places that you could sit down with a great pot of tea and leave the world to do its thing, as we did.The afternoon tea at The Royal Horseguards began with a smooth glass of Laurent Perrier champagne and a selection of sandwiches. The two in the party who took the gluten free option were impressed with what was provided to them and requested seconds. Those taking the classic afternoon tea received tuna in choux pastry along with light cucumber, salmon and Coronation chicken finger sandwiches.Following the champagne and sandwiches, Novus tea was served from the worlds most perfect silver teapots, our party having chosen white pear and ginger, fleur dorient oolong and strawberries & cream black tea. The tea ware was the Royal Horseguards own china, beautifully designed and when replaced, each person was consistently served with the design they had originally sat down with (we each received a different and unique design of tea ware).Both plain and fruit scones were served around 40 minutes into the service, both gluten and non-gluten free options being light and buttery with a deliciously tart home made fruit preserve.And before we knew it, we were munching on an array of cakes, the highlight being a caramel cheesecake that we would have asked for seconds of if we hadnt been so full. Also served were a passionfruit tartlet, lemon meringue cupcake, chocolate macaron and elderflower with raspberry Battenberg cake.The service was five-star. We felt so welcome at the Royal Horseguards Hotel and at no point felt under any pressure to leave. It would be very easy to make yourself at home in this wonderful establishment and it is certainly somewhere we would visit again. Take your mum, your best friend, your dad, or like we did, just the girls for a good old natter; just make sure you wear a lovely tea dress to match the divine tea ware.

  Really fantastic afternoon tea and well priced compared to other places I’ve been. Unlimited supply of fresh sandwiches and cakes and a whole menu of unusual teas to choose from. Top service and a beautiful room to eat in. Will definitely be back!
