The Foyer & Reading Room at Claridge’s
Claridge’s serves its traditional afternoon tea in The Foyer & Reading Room. Consider it if you enjoy making time for a ritual rather than fitting a quick coffee between appointments.
Consult the official offering for menus, dietary requirements, prices and reservations. I do not list a fixed price here because availability and terms can change.
Why meet in the afternoon?
You can fit our meeting between sightseeing and an evening you have already planned, keeping the rest of your trip independent. We agree a start time and duration so the occasion has a clear place in your day.
Conversation might begin with a painting, a book or somewhere you would like to visit. You do not need to share intimate details straight away. Take time to discover how you feel in my company.
Get acquainted before choosing a table
I’m Cristiano. Before travelling to London, we confirm availability, travel and terms; I am not permanently based there. A call can help us decide whether we like the idea before confirming.
My companionship and the afternoon tea reservation are separate. I have no affiliation with Claridge’s or privileged access. Choose the setting for the experience you want, not an expectation of meeting celebrities.
Your first message
“I’ll be in London on [date] and would enjoy afternoon tea with company. Could we get acquainted first?” You can suggest another venue or a simple lunch. The address is a starting point, not a requirement for meeting me.
