Sketch Parlour reviews

Amazing place! Took my best friend there for the start of her hen do, and had the most wonderful time. Cakes to die for and tea not actually that expensive. We went first thing on a Saturday morning and it was divine!

Expensive but by far one of the best places in London.

One of my favourite places in London, period! Although the gallery may have been slated due to over-pricing, the Parlour is really very reasonable. Friendly and attentive staff just added to the amazing food on offer. A great place to have a break from shopping.

Whilst it can be expected in such an excellent establishment as this, the staff really do go out of their way to be friendly, funny and efficient on another level.

An awesome place that's been made even better by its excellent staff.

Everything looks perfect in that tea room. I brought my boyfriend there and he was really impressed. There's only one thing... the bill but as it's "only" cakes and tea everyone can still treat himself. Don't forget to go to the beautiful luxurious toilets.

Decor tasteful and inevitably swanky. The attitudes of the staff are less than inviting or welcoming, and considering how overpriced the drinks are, I would sooner spend my money in an establishment where I was made to feel more welcome.

Fantastic Jasmine tea! Helpful staff gave me the address of their supplier so I can enjoy it all the time!! I will return when next in town.

Just like picking your jewels. Very light tastes trick you over and over. Don't feel guilty at all, even with 5 pieces.

Pure magic, expensive magic, but pure magic.

Make sure you pee in the Swarovski crystal loos.

Fantastic cafe and ideally located for a break from Bond Street shopping. The cakes are some of the best in London, in my opinion.

Not quite like any other tea shop I've ever been to... beautiful, white decor with animal print rugs and art on the walls. Try the gorgeous tiny, violet meringues which have a real and edible (well I ate it) purple pansy on the top. Not cheap.
