  • Whether you're all about that veggie life, living vegan, dodging gluten, or just want the full deal, there's something on the menu for you.
  • Choose where you wanna park yourself – top deck for those skyline views or lower deck to be right in the middle of all the action.

This is the tour for you if you want to see London and have an elegant afternoon tea at the same time – a delicious twist on a British classic. Introduced in the 1840s, afternoon tea is a beloved ritual of sandwiches, cakes, and of course, fine tea. Sweet and savory snacks, a glass of Prosecco, and the best views of London – what's not to love? And, with a menu designed for everyone, all that's left is to choose your vantage point – upper or lower deck.
