Delicious Tea Time

Very relaxed and the food was delicious! The view of the Thames River was fantastic and the staff was friendly.

The Clipper Lounge

Looked after us very well. Unlimited soft drinks, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and mocktails! Daughter only liked one sandwich from selection and they gave her her more of these. Asked for more sandwiches - not a problem. They looked after us very well. Cakes, scones were delicious! We were not rushed and had Thames window view!

Southerners at London tea

Very nice people and great location right on the river. Good food and tea. My first Pimm's cocktail... I'll have to try that at home.
