Afternoon Tea at Kimpton Fitzroy London - selection of sweet bites

Afternoon Tea in the heart of Bloomsbury at Kimpton Fitzroy London The tea behind the Titanic

Discover 'The tea behind the Titanic' at Fitz’s Brasserie, a new Afternoon Tea celebrating Kimpton Fitzroy London’s remarkable connection to the RMS Titanic.

The hotel’s architect, Charles Fitzroy Doll, designed the dining room in 1898 before recreating its grand interiors for the Titanic’s first-class dining saloon. 

Today, that same architectural legacy sets the scene for an Afternoon Tea inspired by the flavours, details and glamour of the Edwardian era.

History, served in Bloomsbury

Fitz’s Brasserie was originally designed by architect Charles Fitzroy Doll in 1898, creating the grand dining room that forms the heart of the experience today. Doll later drew on his work for the hotel when designing the first-class dining saloon aboard the RMS Titanic. More than a century on, the connection can still be experienced through the distinctive architecture, ornate details and sense of occasion that surround your table. Come for the Afternoon Tea. Stay for the story.
