A London Residence

When The Langham opened in 1865, it started a new tradition; serving Afternoon Tea in an elegant Palm Court. We continue to set the standard in afternoon tea today with an award-winning tea service, while by night Palm Court transforms into a sparkling setting for dinner.

The Birthplace

Afternoon Tea

The Langham, London, Europe’s first Grand Hotel and long celebrated as the home of afternoon tea, has been serving this cherished tradition since opening its doors in 1865. 160 years later, The Langham continues to honour that legacy with an afternoon tea that warmly celebrates its rich culinary heritage.

Afternoon Tea Book

The official Langham cookbook is more than a collection of recipes; it is a celebration of Afternoon Tea itself. Beautifully illustrated, it showcases both iconic and modern creations from The Langham’s tea rooms, offering step-by-step guidance for making each dish at home. Alongside the recipes, the book provides expert tea-pairing tips and a comprehensive patisserie basics section, allowing readers to master the art of elegant presentation and refined flavours.
