One of the most unique themed high teas you can find in London, the Mad Hatters High Tea tries to replicate the experience of being in the world of Alice in Wonderland, and to great effect! I really enjoyed my time here and would recommend this high tea for a splurge.
We were shown to an "outdoor" area which was heated and the environment looked very clean, modern and stunning. You are immediately greeted with a riddle like Alice did in Alice in Wonderland (which we took turns trying to solve while waiting for our high tea to arrive!) and a intricate musical box which was used to contain sugar cubes - I felt that these were nice touches to enhance the themed afternoon tea experience. Although service was good, we did felt a bit rushed as they repeatedly asked us if we wanted the bill... But nonetheless we sat there for a good 3 hours and they didn't chase us away explicitly.
The sandwiches were so tasty and you can have unlimited servings of it which is awesome! This is also the only high tea which served salty scones (with bits of olive and a chives & butter spread) and it was a refreshing change from the usual scones (which was included as well of course!). I would say that I loved all tiers of the high tea set as much because the desserts were amazing. The cheesecake, green tea mousse in a dark chocolate cup, and Victorian sponge cake were all crafted so delicately to replicate different elements of the story and I almost couldn't bear to eat them! They taste as good as they looked and everyone agreed that the entire experience was quite worth the 40 odd pounds we paid for it!
