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.

Afternoon Tea, But Make It Boozy

A London-themed tea party wouldn’t be complete without a few cheeky cocktails. The Dilly has unveiled three exclusive drinks, each priced at just £11:

🌸 Buckingham Bliss – A crisp, citrusy mix of gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and sparkling wine

🌿 Secret Garden – A refreshing summer staple with Pimm’s, elderflower liqueur, lemonade, and tonic

💜 Mayfair’s Mist – A lavender-infused delight with gin, lavender syrup, lemon juice, and a frothy egg white finish

Sip in style while working your way through a plate of architectural dessert masterpieces.

Time to Book Your Table

The Dilly’s London-themed afternoon tea is £49 per person, with a kid’s version available for £39. Secure your spot and get ready for a feast fit for royalty.
