About this tour
Discover the ritual of British afternoon tea in the gardens of Kensington Palace, where a reserved table, fragrant tea, and cakes make for a distinctly royal pause in London. A licensed local guide introduces the tradition and shares the experience in your chosen language.
Choose the 2-hour option for afternoon tea at an elegant garden cafe, with a serving of tea and cakes. For a longer visit, select the 2.5-hour option, which adds timed-entry tickets to Kensington Palace and an English audio guide. Palace entry is subject to opening hours; security checks are required, and your guide does not accompany you inside. The guide can help you collect the audio guide before you explore independently. Additional food and drinks are not included, and dietary requirements should be shared in advance.
Meet outside the Hux Hotel on Kensington High Street, then settle in for a taste of royal surroundings. Whether you choose tea alone or pair it with a palace visit, this London afternoon tea at Kensington Palace offers a memorable way to experience a beloved British custom.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 50% in London means it ranks in the top 50% of tours in London by this score.
