Big Ben, The London Eye & A Bus – Now in Cake Form
Afternoon tea is a London staple, but The Dilly has just levelled up with a revamped, landmark-inspired spread that screams “iconic.” Piccadilly’s legendary hotel has introduced new edible tributes to London’s skyline, alongside a trio of floral citrus cocktails that might just steal the show.
London-Themed Afternoon Tea with a Sweet Twist
Why just look at Big Ben when you can eat it? The Dilly’s famous London-themed afternoon tea now features a lineup of deliciously detailed desserts that are almost too pretty to eat—almost.
The existing hazelnut praline and milk chocolate Big Ben is now joined by a chocolate mud cake London Eye, a black forest cake in the shape of a royal crown, and even a strawberry and ginger double-decker bus. The Dilly itself gets a sweet makeover as a walnut and honey cake, proving that your love for London can be devoured one bite at a time.
Classic plain and raisin scones also make an appearance, served with decadent clotted cream and strawberry jam—because some traditions should never be messed with.
A Sandwich Lineup Worth Writing Home About
No afternoon tea is complete without a killer sandwich selection. The Dilly serves up:
Pastrami with horseradish mayo on white bread
Smoked salmon, cucumber & coconut cream cheese on white bread
Devilled egg & cress on malt country bread
Beetroot carpaccio with feta on onion bread
Vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options are available, so everyone gets to feast like royalty.
