Checked off my bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue I have with afternoon tea is that the vast majority of hotels and restaurants offer a variation of it; one really doesn&#8217;t have to go above and beyond to find one. However, the sad reality is that a very lucky few are something to write home about \u2013 tasteless scones, lukewarm tea, and unnecessarily heavy clotted cream are unfortunately a common fixture in a city where most tourists won&#8217;t even notice the difference between day-old and fresh-out-of-the-oven p\u00e2tisseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not at sketch.

Indeed, sketch is one of the priciest afternoon teas in London, especially if you #treatyoself to champagne (\u00a389). But if you couldn&#8217;t already tell by my dithyrambic review of the menu and space, I think the experience is entirely worth it\u00a0\u2013 because that&#8217;s exactly what it is: an experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This afternoon tea isn&#8217;t just about scones and herbal beverages. It&#8217;s about being immersed in a completely cohesive ensemble, from the \u00fcber-feminine decor to the quirky tableware, from the out-of-this-world pastries to the impossibly photogenic displays. Even the washrooms are worth the detour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m certain afternoon tea at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claridges.co.uk\/restaurants-bars\/afternoon-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Claridge&#8217;s<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oetkercollection.com\/hotels\/the-lanesborough\/restaurants-bars\/afternoon-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lanesborough&#8217;s<\/a> is really quite enjoyable in a quintessentially English sort of way. However I would wholeheartedly recommend going at sketch for a truly unforgettable, distinguished, one-of-a-kind experience for all senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for afternoon tea at sketch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is no official dress code for afternoon tea but you definitely want to put your most fashionable dress on. Although the staff was oh so kind to me, I was impossibly underdressed with my street-London-friendly-but-not-afternoon-tea-ready denim on denim outfit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sketch has <a href=\"https:\/\/sketch.london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">four other rooms<\/a>, each with a distinctive menu, dress code, atmosphere, and decor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to get the best possible photos of the Gallery, book your afternoon tea right at the opening. Be there a tad early while the&nbsp;room is virtually empty; it gets quite full by 1pm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Afternoon tea is available every day of the week&nbsp;12:30pm &#8211; 4:30pm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afternoon tea in London?
