Our kitchen team works closely with trusted British producers to create dishes that feel both comforting and contemporary, perfectly suited to a visit to one of London’s most beautiful museums. Wallace Restaurant is an ideal pause between galleries, or a destination in its own right.
Our Afternoon Tea is a celebration of a treasured British tradition, served in the elegant surroundings of the Wallace Collection. Carefully crafted by our pastry and kitchen teams, it balances classic flavours with refined modern touches.

Sweet treats follow, from delicate choux pastries to seasonal cakes, alongside freshly baked plain and fruit scones served with Devon clotted cream and strawberry jam.
Afternoon Tea can be enjoyed on its own or elevated with a glass of Pol Roger Brut, Champagne of choice for Sir Winston Churchill, adding an extra sense of occasion to your visit.
