Afternoon Tea

Where to get the classic British tradition of sandwiches, scones and sweet treats, with tea and sometimes bubbles. Many book up months ahead, and the most popular cannot seat a walk-in at all.

The Gallery at Sketch

Tea in a pink room hung with 239 David Shrigley drawings, served on crockery he drew too.

Hotel£50 to £80

The Gallery is the room that made Sketch the most photographed dining room in London: walls in a particular shade of pink, velvet banquettes, and two hundred and thirty-nine drawings by David Shrigley hung frame to frame from floor to ceiling. The crockery is his as well, so the cup you drink from has a Shrigley line on it.

The tea is properly done underneath the decor - sandwiches, scones, patisserie - but nobody comes only for that. The lavatories are in egg-shaped pods up the stairs and are their own attraction.

This is a Georgian townhouse on Conduit Street with four different rooms in it; the Gallery is the one that does tea.
