There’s nothing more quintessentially English than Afternoon Tea, and we for one will never say no to this beautifully British tradition whatever the time of day! But it has to have one crucial ingredient – that your pup can come too. They don’t have to have their own menu (but of course, we totally love it if they do), they just need to be made to feel most welcome. So from quirky to traditional, whatever you fancy for you and your four-legged friend, we’ve got something for you in our latest ‘Best of London List’ …the ‘Best Dog-friendly Afternoon Tea in London’.

Once again London dogs are spoilt for choice with dog-friendly Afternoon Tea dotted all around town. Some with a menu for both hounds and humans, some with just a menu for humans but all looking and sounding absolutely delicious. We’re sure you’ll agree so read on to decide where to take your pup for tea…
Dog-friendly Afternoon Tea in London with a Menu for Dogs

In our eyes (well Belinha’s anyway), nothing beats a good dog menu so first up are venues that have gone the extra mile in terms of dog-friendly afternoon teas and created a Dog Afternoon Tea menu…
Great Scotland Yard Hotel

Our first choice amongst places to take your dog for Afternoon Tea in London is the Great Scotland Yard Hotel. This five-star hotel in Central London, located just a few minutes walk from Trafalgar Square has recently launched its luxury Dog Afternoon Tea with a gourmet dog afternoon tea menu designed by canine nutrition experts Talulah Eats. Dogs will be spoilt with a menu of a fresh turkey followed by a Pink Peony Pupcake, Doggie Digestive Biscuits and a slice of Talula’s homemade doggie cake.

Humans will also be spoilt with a beautiful afternoon tea menu designed in collaboration with Floris London, the only perfumery appointed to Her Majesty The Queen. The venue is gorgeous, the staff super welcoming and attentive and the menu for both humans and hounds is delicious…we loved it!
