The Wolseley is simply a sublime place to be. When you add to that the exquisite food, clearly cooked with skill, care and panache, one can only conclude that there is no better place to enjoy a meal in London. Of course, these are not greasy spoon prices. For me, it's for special occasions. This time, it was my son's birthday. I first took him there when he was 9, so there is all the caché of past history for us too. But, oh my goodness, how they take care of you, make you feel special. They are attentive without ever being intrusive. The waiter who served us (I didn't get his name - we were there Tuesday 27th, booked for 10.45am but were late, due to a train delay) was the embodiment of professional charm and grace but served with great warmth. Thanks Wolseley, again, for a fabulous experience.

Absolutely amazing experience. Phenomenal service from the whole team. The crystal moon lounge is beautiful, huge variety of tea and delicious sandwiches and desserts. We weren’t rushed at all and felt extremely relaxed.

"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then" (Lewis Carroll) and that is exactly how you feel after high-tea at Mad Hatters. What a whimsical afternoon on a dreary London day! Tea was impeccably good and confectionaries- oh my gosh- amazing!

Delightful afternoon tea in a peaceful garden setting. Very accommodating of teenagers and children while still elegant. Staff is professional and polished, and the scones and pastries are top-notch.
