We planned the worlds fastest trip to London and I wanted to squeeze in as much as possible with only 1 full day! I knew I wanted to experience an afternoon tea, but I also wanted to see as much of London as possible. So I started by making a list of all the top spots I wanted to see in London, as well as a list of all the afternoon teas I was intrigued by. I then added everything to a Google map to see how we could best utilize our time. I quickly realized that while many of the afternoon teas sounded gorgeous, I knew we would end up spending hours inside sipping tea instead of exploring London. And while afternoon tea is always time well spent, I really wanted to explore more of London. So when I stumbled upon Brigit’s Bakery Afternoon Tea Bus Tour, I was thrilled!
Brigit’s Afternoon Tea Bus Tour was the perfect way to combine my desire to experience tea and see the iconic landmarks around London! I didn’t have high expectations for the food, since we were clearly eating on a bus tour, but I was pleasantly surprised! The bites were served on a classic tiered platter and the tea was served in branded, reusable plastic to-go cups. {the tea cups are actually really cute and machine washable. I’ve even used mine since returning home} They supply ample sweet and savory treats, and of course, the classic scone with clotted cream and jam. You even get a little to-go box to save any treats left over at the end. Alongside the unlimited hot tea, they also offer champagne or prosecco {at an extra cost}, which is served in plastic flutes. Caleb and I pre-ordered a bottle of the Louis Roederer and it was divine!
It was lovely driving around London, while eating delicious treats and learning the history of some of the iconic landmarks. If you have a fast trip to London or if you simply want to enjoy treats while exploring London, I highly recommend Brigit’s Afternoon Tea Bus Tour! I would 100% book it again and my parents plan on doing this tour on their next trip to London. They also offer Peppa Pig and Paddington Bear themed tours for kids. Our trip was near Valentine’s Day, so our tour was Valentine’s themed.

My daughter and I spent 5 days in London this past fall. We took the “big red bus” for two days to see all the major sights and we did two teas. One at the Savoy, where we stayed and another at the Milestone Hotel. Both were AMAZING! Glad you got to see all the sights! Those bus tours are great and easy!
