Where better to have afternoon tea than at the birthplace of the timeless tradition? The Langham’s palm court treats guests with perfectly prepared pastries, savoury sandwiches and cushiony scones on the side of floral-adorned china for that VIP experience. But this isn’t the only culinary gem at the Langham; the iconic Michel Roux Jr oversees all the hotel’s dining, including their award-winning British tavern, The Wigmore, which offers reimagined British eats. A fan favourite is the signature starter of the classic British scotch egg; Michel Roux Jr’s masala spiced scotch egg is one for the tastebuds sitting on a bed of daal relish and a coating of crispy vermicelli. This spot is noted the best by native Londoners, offering their much beloved British comfort food treats in a classic interior. Last but by no means least, Artesian is the hotel’s sophisticated cocktail spot that held the title of the world’s best bar for 5 years. It offers guests a chic atmosphere, 5-star service, and dazzling drinks.
