London is jam-packed (if you'll pardon the pun) with afternoon teas, and plenty of them are designed specifically for families and children.

Whether your child has a favourite cuddly TV character, a passion for archaeology, or is making designs on becoming a wizard, you'll find the capital is bursting with delicious spreads to enjoy.

There are meals centred around astronauts, Paddington, Peppa Pig, and so much more, and all of them come with piles of biscuits and cakes, dollops of cream, and of course, huge helpings of scones – whatever way you say it.

Prices will often depend on how many you're taking, but for ease, we've based this list on the one adult and one child option.

So, without further ado, here are the best afternoon teas to take your kid to in London.
