The wonderful young woman that waited on us taught us much about the teas offered. She kept us informed and made us feel very much like old friends. Highly recommend doing tea at the Ruben especially for a first time visitor to London. The experience can’t be matched. Thought about many future opportunities I would love to celebrate there.

The experience itself was good! However the booking experience was very daunting there was a booking error with La Vacanza Travel and Ruben’s apparently Ruben’s online booking did not reflect their true availability and my booking was no longer available and for the date and time I needed they were sold out. This was more a Ruben’s issue than La Vacanza Travel however buyer beware call the restaurant and confirm your date and time even after you receive your voucher. P.s : This experience takes place at a restaurant across the street from Buckingham palace (not) inside it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the tea, and the service. The Ruben was also very beautiful. I would gladly recommend this experience while in London.
