Bridgerton Meets The Lanesborough
Tea, gossip and a touch of gin intrigue
Society is already abuzz with the latest must-attend occasion. According to the ever-reliable Lady Whistledown, The Lanesborough, one of London’s most prestigious addresses, has partnered with Netflix and Shondaland to present a limited-edition Afternoon Tea inspired by Season 4 of Bridgerton. Adding to the excitement, guests will be among the first to taste the new Hendrick’s gin, «Another Hendrick’s,» served exclusively as part of the experience.
Created to coincide with the season premiere on January 29, 2026 (with Part Two arriving February 26), the tea celebrates the elegance of the Regency era, grand balls, lavish dinners, and glittering soirées, reimagined with a modern twist. It is served in the hotel’s opulent dining room, where a glass-domed ceiling fills the space with daylight and chandeliers cast a romantic glow after dark.
The Menu
Designed by Head Pastry Chef Jolan Thiry, the menu pays tribute to key characters and moments from the new season.
Savory Selection
Expect refined finger sandwiches and tartlets filled with Westcombe Cheddar and spring onion aioli, Scottish smoked salmon with citrus crème fraîche, harissa-spiced chicken with basil, and cucumber, avocado, and mint on a truffle potato roll. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are also available.
Sweet Highlights
Standouts include The Lady in Silver, a lemon sponge with vanilla cream and yuzu gel adorned with edible silver, and Benedict’s Masquerade, a chocolate and tonka mousse with hazelnut praline. Let Love Take Flight pairs blackberry mousse with sesame sponge, while Cottage Bloom features ginger and green apple with delicate floral notes — each creation inspired by romance, mystery, and the show’s signature drama.
Cocktails & Mocktails
The Forbidden Love cocktail blends «Another Hendrick’s» gin with vanilla, lemon, and peach & jasmine soda, finished with rose water for a seductive flourish. Prefer alcohol-free? Beneath the Mask combines passion fruit and lychee with soft vanilla and citrus for an equally elegant alternative.
A refined affair where Regency charm meets contemporary luxury and a perfect excuse to indulge in a little gossip over tea. To book, click here.
