Bloody Luxury Afternoon Tea in Lake District & Cumbria

Across the North

Luxury afternoon tea for a taste of the Ritz, without leaving the North

Marble, chandeliers and proper grand-hotel service aren't a London exclusive — the North has its own former railway palaces and civic headquarters doing genuine grandeur, no trip south required.

Lake District

Luxury afternoon tea in the Lake District with a view

Six Lake District afternoon teas worth booking ahead for, from £30 a head: lake-view lounges and terraces on Windermere, Bassenthwaite and Derwentwater, a Lake House over Knipe Tarn, and one with a twist, a pan-Asian tea of sushi and matcha and yuzu tart at Lodore Falls.
