The Lanesborough , London, is delighted to announce its continued collaboration with interior designer Flora Soames with a stunning tablescape - Wimbledon Flora Cream Tea - pop up, using Flora’s exquisite “Plain Stripe” in Emerald from her ‘Pavilion Collection’ – one of Flora’s signature design’s.

Taking place exclusively in The Great Hall of The Lanesborough during the Wimbledon fortnight in London, The Great Hall is famed for being the original entrance to Lanesborough House and affectionately known as ‘The Queen’s entrance’. Featuring an incredible trompe-l’oeil wall painting, this magnificent space is the perfect backdrop for a quintessential Wimbledon Cream Tea, accompanied by our resident harpist.

Flora is the Great Granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill. She set up her interior design business in 2009, with a distinctive and quintessentially English approach, and launched a range of fabrics and wallpapers a decade later. One of House & Garden’s Top 100, her discerning eye and instinct for channelling both old and new has been formed through a lifetime love of collecting. Flora has most recently published her 1st book with Rizzoli – ‘The One Day Box’, which is part scrapbook, part memoir about her love of home, which will be available to purchase throughout the fortnight from the Lanesborough Concierge.

Priced at £45 per person, the cream tea includes a Wimbledon Flora Cocktail, which combines St Germain elderflower liqueur, vodka, strawberry essence and mint, topped with Moёt & Chandon Brut Impérial. 

Sweet treats include summer strawberries served with cream, homemade scones served with clotted Devonshire cream and strawberry jam, and Lanesborough blend tea.

Available to book from Monday 1 July to Sunday 14 July 2024. Table seatings start at 12pm with the last serving at 4pm.
