June 17, 2018 by Claire Filed Under: United Kingdom, C4, Europe, Food 2 Comments

Looking for a traditional afternoon tea without the high price tag? Here are the cheapest afternoon teas in London, all for under £30

Afternoon teas in London have exploded in popularity in recent years with many tourists and locals looking to find the best afternoon tea in London. The city offers a wide variety of afternoon teas from Disney themed afternoon teas to afternoon tea on a London bus. With so many afternoon teas available it’s easy to find cheap afternoon teas in London that won’t break the bank. Here are my suggestions…

The Fan Museum

Price: £9 + Entry Fee (£5)

The best value for money afternoon tea in London has to be at The Fan Museum in Greenwich. For a fraction of the cost of most hotel afternoon teas you’ll enjoy a refreshing pot of tea with delicious scones, carrot cake and your choice of lemon drizzle or salted caramel brownie.
