From Science Afternoon Tea at The Drawing Rooms (at The Ampersand Hotel)
Part English drawing room, part ‘salon de thé’, this is the place to enjoy pretty pastries, exceptional teas and freshly pressed coffees in South Kensington.
It is here that we serve our one-of-a-kind Science Afternoon Tea, completely unique to The Ampersand. Having won Best Themed Afternoon Tea at the Afternoon Tea Awards 2018, it is gaining huge popularity in London now. You can expect a mix of exciting and curious dishes, from jellies served in petri dishes, to chocolate spacemen and dinosaur biscuits.
