UPDATE
Potion Room was due to finish at the end of May 2020, but it ended a little sooner than expected due to COVID-19. We thought it would be best to run it for a couple more months to give you the chance to experience the magic!
You may have also heard about the next instalment. Not to worry, this will be happening after this final run of the Potion Room.
We have dates between January 2021 - July 2021, available to buy now!
As a small family run business we appreciate all your support as this enables us to be able to support our staff during these uncertain times. We appreciate you all very much.
Hoping you all stay well and safe and look forward to seeing you when this is all over!

HELLO KITTY
In 2016 we launched the first Sanrio official Hello Kitty Afternoon tea in London. We immersed our customers in a unique and quirky experience based around Hello Kitty having high tea in London. The room was themed in Hello Kitty’s garden. Our menu was inspired by what Kitty loved to eat, apple pie mousse with a bow and chocolate mud pie! We heart Hello Kitty!
This experience is no longer available.
Genies cave
We launched Genie’s Cave in 2017. We were voted one of the best afternoon teas in London. The Disney themed afternoon tea was inspired by the book Aladdin and the cave of wonders which made this experience great for children. We created jewelled scones, genie macarons, jewelled cakes all served on gold tables, with gold cutlery and china. Tea was poured from gold genie lamps to complete the experience.
The Genies Cave is no longer available.
