Afternoon Tea at The Carlton Tower Jumeirah – An Elegant Tribute to Nature in the Heart of Knightsbridge

Tucked away in the refined setting of Knightsbridge, The Carlton Tower Jumeirah invites guests to indulge in a contemporary yet classic Afternoon Tea that draws inspiration from the natural world. Taking place in the stylish Chinoiserie Lounge, this experience is less about ceremony and more about sensory delight delivered with five-star precision and a peaceful ambience that feels worlds away from the bustle of London just outside.

A Tribute to Nature – Seasonal Elegance

Available daily from 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm, “A Tribute to Nature” Afternoon Tea is a celebration of flora and fauna brought to life through innovative patisserie, seasonal ingredients, and detailed presentation. The menu, created by Head Pastry Chef Jessica Prealpato, combines classic British elements with light, botanical notes and beautifully crafted creations that evolve with the seasons.

The traditional Afternoon Tea is priced at £85 per person, featuring:

A colourful beetroot and orange amuse-bouche to awaken the palate

Four freshly prepared savoury sandwiches using premium, seasonal produce

Four creative scones – traditional, sweet, and botanical varieties served with homemade jam and clotted cream

Four intricate pastries inspired by nature’s textures and flavours, such as honey, blossom, and herbs

This is Afternoon Tea reimagined, delicate yet daring, and steeped in thoughtful culinary artistry.
