A refined, plant-based take on a
classic British afternoon tea in the heart of Westminster
About the experience
Discover one of London’s most
elegant vegan afternoon tea experiences at The Rubens at the Palace
Hotel. Served in the beautiful Palace Lounge overlooking the Royal
Mews of Buckingham Palace, this Vegan Royal Afternoon Tea
reimagines the traditional afternoon tea ritual entirely through a
plant-based lens — without compromising on flavour, creativity or
indulgence.
Designed as a complete vegan
experience (not a modified version of the classic menu), the
afternoon tea features a carefully curated selection of savoury
bites, freshly baked vegan scones and seasonally inspired
plant-based pastries, all crafted by the hotel’s pastry and
culinary team.
Warm, attentive service and an
elegant setting make this the perfect choice for vegan diners,
Veganuary celebrations, and anyone seeking a mindful yet luxurious
afternoon tea in central London.
