I keep going back to this location, because I think Patisserie Valerie offers the best VFM Afternoon tea. 25 pounds for 2 people. And at one point of time, Amazon was selling vouchers that brought the price down to 19Pounds. For TWO people.
Given the 10 finger sandwiches, 2 quiche, 4 scones, clotted cream, 2 pots of Bonne Mamman jam, 6 mini pastries and constant supply of tea - each person can choose a different tea if you like. It is a very good deal if you have people who just want to see what Afternoon Tea in London is all about. Plus they serve it until 7pm which is a huge bonus. For visiting friends who spend the whole day maximising time at museums and other sight seeing locations, this gives them a chance to expereince Afternoon tea without compromising on tea at the British Museum or the Tower of London.
Their pastries are very good quality and the eclairs are always served just right, not frozen hunks of pastry with fresh cream (that cant even be reheated)
I sometimes pick up a ham and cheese croissant and coffee to go and those have been very good too.
Their problem area has been the hot meals, I've been served burnt toast and not so well made eggs on one of my first visits, so I've never risked a freshly cooked meal again at this location, which is why it lost a star in my rating.
But I'd comfortably recommend them for Afternoon tea, pastries, croissants and coffee.
