If you’re wondering how to spend the Jubilee bank holiday weekend, coming up from 2 to 5 June, what could be more regally British than afternoon tea?

Naturally, central London’s top tea spots have risen to the occasion – and crown, corgi and handbag-themed treats abound. Here is a selection of places you might like to try.

Platinum Jubilee afternoon tea at InterContinental London Park Lane

The Queen’s Jubilee afternoon tea at Four Seasons Park Lane

The tea menu here includes a lavender-flavoured Jubilee macaroon, strawberries and cream cheesecake, and Royal wedding cake inspired by the one enjoyed by the Queen and Prince Philip.

Platinum Jubilee afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason Tea Salon

At this tea salon, opened for the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, you can feast on smoked salmon blini and finger sandwiches of coronation chicken and cucumber with minted pea cream cheese.

Commonwealth afternoon tea at Mayfair Lounge & Grill
