This autumn, The Tea Lounge at The Clermont, Victoria is casting a delicious new spell over London’s afternoon tea scene with the launch of its Wicked Afternoon Tea, inspired by the award-winning West End musical Wicked. Opening on 1st November, this exclusive menu invites guests to step into a world of enchantment, just moments away from the show’s home at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.
An Afternoon of Magical Indulgence
Designed for both theatre lovers and afternoon tea enthusiasts, the Wicked Afternoon Tea offers a delightful mix of sweet and savoury creations that celebrate the story and spirit of Oz. The menu showcases the Afternoon Tea Fancies — a star-studded selection of pastel pastries and cakes inspired by the show’s iconic characters and colours.
Highlights include The Witch’s Hat, a rich chocolate brownie topped with a glossy glaze; the Emerald Delight, a zesty lime and white chocolate confection finished with a gleaming green sheen; Popular-ly Pink, a delicate raspberry and white chocolate macaron; and Spellbinding Temptation, a strawberry and white chocolate mousse layered over soft sponge and dusted with crisp rice pops. Each bite is a nod to the musical’s magic and artistry.
No afternoon tea would be complete without the classics. Guests can enjoy freshly baked scones served with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry and raspberry preserves, alongside traditional finger sandwiches including smoked salmon and cream cheese, smoked ham with tomato and mustard, cucumber, and egg mayonnaise..
Add a Touch of Sparkle
To make the experience even more indulgent, guests can upgrade with a glass of fizz for an additional £10 or enjoy one of two Wicked-themed cocktails.
The Wicked: a refreshing mix of Hendrick’s gin, kiwi purée, and cucumber syrup topped with sparkling wine.
The Good: a vibrant blend of Chambord, raspberry, and strawberry liqueurs finished with sparkling wine. Both options provide a touch of glamour, making this afternoon tea the perfect pre-theatre experience in London Victoria.
The Perfect Prelude to the West End
Ideally located inside The Clermont, Victoria, and just steps from the Apollo Victoria Theatre, The Tea Lounge offers a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere — perfect for unwinding before catching Wicked the Musical or enjoying a leisurely afternoon in the heart of London. Open daily from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm, the Wicked Afternoon Tea is priced at £55 per person.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the show or simply looking for one of the best afternoon teas in London, The Wicked Afternoon Tea promises an experience that’s theatrical, indulgent, and unforgettable.
