Haxells Restaurant & Bar
On the hunt for a Covent Garden hotel afternoon tea that ticks all the boxes? It's got to be Haxells Restaurant & Bar at Strand Palace. Found only a short walk from the station and fronting modern decor in the form of spherical light fixtures, sleek mirrored walls and neutral tones, it's home to a traditional affair including British classics displayed on a three-tiered stand. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are among the decadent inclusions, and you can pair these with a steaming cup of Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong, or even bubbles from £49 per person.
