Have you ever heard about the famous British tradition of afternoon tea? If not, you’re in for a treat—literally! Afternoon tea is a unique and charming experience where you can enjoy tea, delicious finger sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats, all beautifully presented. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a cultural experience that gives you a taste of British heritage. Let’s dive into the history, what makes a good afternoon tea, and the best places to try it as a student in London.
Afternoon tea dates back to the 1840s when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, wanted something to eat between lunch and dinner. The idea caught on, and soon it became a fashionable social event among the upper classes. Today, afternoon tea is enjoyed by everyone and is a wonderful way to take a break, relax, and indulge in some of the finest treats.

Afternoon tea isn’t just about food—it’s about experiencing British culture and connecting with friends in a relaxed setting. It’s also a chance to practice lessons learnt at your English class, making it the perfect complement to your language courses in London.
At ES London, our students often explore London’s cultural highlights together. Whether it’s a group trip to try afternoon tea or a visit to the British Museum, our English courses in London ensure you don’t just learn in the classroom—you live the language!
