Afternoon Tea

Set against the backdrop of the Royal Parks, where daily parades from the Household Cavalry pass by on their way to Buckingham Palace, The Wellington Lounge has served afternoon tea since the opening of InterContinental London Park Lane on 23 September 1975.
Known for tea services inspired by the hotel’s local and royal heritage — including its history as the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth II — the Spring Afternoon Tea is a refined celebration of the season, with Royal history interwoven throughout.
