<p>The story of Muggle-Wump the monkey’s daring escape from the captivity of ghastly Mr and Mrs Twit played out in food form is bound to appeal to kids of all ages. From roulette of buttermilk and marmite scones to wormy spaghetti and ‘maggoty green cheese and mouldy cornflakes’ arancini, it covers pretty much everything you might find in Mr Twit’s beard. Available<strong>&nbsp;</strong>for a limited time only (£65 for adults and £45 for kids). If you miss it, the regular afternoon tea in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thelibraryatcountyhall.com/afternoon-tea">The Library at County Hall</a>&nbsp;is well worth a visit too.&nbsp;</p>

What&#8217;s not to love? From £38pp. </p>

<p>Curioser and curioser, that&#8217;s how children will feel about this lavish spread straight out of <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>. They can opt for the Little Hatters Afternoon Tea (4-11 years) spin off, which includes a strawberry and mascarpone marbled sandwich, rabbit in the hole (a mini chocolate flower pot with edible soil), Knight Chess red velvet cake and a Drink Me potion (peach bubble tea). Served on china featuring clocks, kings and queens, it&#8217;s a charming interpretation and kids can switch tea and bubbly for juice or hot chocolate. Adults £55, children £35. </p>

<p>More Roald Dahl-inspired bites at this Holborn hotel, with snozzberry jam and chocolate swudge milkshake (mixed by waterfall?) on the menu. One of the most imaginative afternoon teas in the city allows children to get a taste of the magical world of <em>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</em>, complete with fabulously fluffy floss, hair toffee mousse and a box stacked high with mouth-watering cakes, sweets, marshmallows and creams. Naturally this is all washed down with a hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles, or how about a strawberry juice water pistol punch? Adult menu, £70pp, children (12 and under) £50pp. </p>

<p>This is highest afternoon tea you can enjoy in London, so book now to drink in the views along with a cuppa this Autumn. Inspired by the adventures of Peter Pan on the island of Neverland, children will be left wide-eyed (and very full) after tucking into chicken sandwiches topped with crispy bacon wrapped in paper denoting the four <em>Lost Boy Rules</em>, mushroom-shaped bread inspired by the mushroom stools in Neverland and warm scones hidden in treasure chest, accompanied by sweet apricot marmalade and coconut clotted cream. It&#8217;s all served on a custom-made tea stand inspired by Captain James Hook’s pirate ship, the Jolly Roger. </p>

<p>A spellbinding three-course affair, served in the historic surroundings of a Victorian house townhouse in Pimlico. Children can opt for the Mini Wizard Afternoon Tea which has a selection of surprise desserts, alongside ham and cheese finger sandwiches and scones. You might want to order a colour-changing gin to accompany your adult afternoon tea and if you want to add more magic to the day, book a Wizard Potion Making workshop (£25). Adult menu, £40, children £20. </p>

<p>How sweet? Very, according to the menu, which includes jam and peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches, honey and white chocolate scones, Rubens marshmallows, royal cupcakes and Rubens iced doughnuts. Aimed at children under 12, there are some savoury sandwiches too, but we have a hunch they&#8217;ll be on a sugar high. Children&#8217;s menu, £35. This five-star hotel&#8217;s a short stroll from Buckingham Palace, so it&#8217;s an ideal stop-off if you&#8217;re sightseeing. </p>

<p>No themes or wizardry here, just an exquisite miniature afternoon tea (£45pp) for little ones, complete with finger sandwiches (think Burfurd Brown duck egg mayonnaise in white bread), freshly baked scones served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam and chocolate biscuits with caramel cream, raspberry cake and chocolate chip cake. Expect sticky fingers and sighs of contentment all round. </p>
