Indulge in Luxury with the Sunborn Yacht Afternoon Tea

Sunborn Yacht afternoon tea is a luxury experience for those who are looking for something different. Set in a stunning space with an amazing view of the Docklands, it’s perfect for people who want to enjoy a traditional afternoon tea with a twist. I mean, how often do you get to enjoy afternoon tea on a yacht?

Some links in this post are affiliate links, which means I get commission if you use them. There’s no extra cost to you, and I only recommend what I trust!

Find What You're Looking For

Where is the Sunborn Yacht?

London Docklands, as with so much of the city, is steeped in history. In its prime, it was the part of the port of London, which at one time was the biggest port in the world. Over the years the ports of London scaled back massively and the area was neglected, becoming a not so desirable part of the city. Thankfully, a lot of money was invested and London Docklands has become a vibrant, modern and desirable place to spend time.

The Sunborn Yacht is permanently docked in what was formerly the Royal Victoria Docks. These days, it’s just a stone’s throw from the Excel exhibition centre, and surrounded by hotels, bars and residential areas.

From the restaurant where afternoon tea is served, the view looks out over the water, with flats in the distance and the city of London creates a dramatic skyline.

As you approach Sunborn Yacht, it’s hard not to have a wow moment. Claimed to be the only super yacht hotel experience available in the UK, it is eye-wateringly huge and not easy to miss as you approach.

On board, there are standard hotel rooms and luxurious suites, as well as a restaurant and bar. The restaurant hosts guests and general public for both dinner and afternoon tea, enjoyed with stunning views of London from the aptly named Land’s End Restaurant.

Sunborn Yacht also offers conference space, and if you’re really after the wow factor, you can even get married on the yacht!

Sunborn Yacht Afternoon Tea menu

As with most traditional afternoon teas, the Sunborn Yacht offers a three-tier dining experience. On the bottom layer, the sandwiches are lined up for easy viewing of the fillings. Middle layer follows traditional afternoon tea with the scones, and on the top layer are the desserts.

The sandwiches on offer are traditional British choices such as ham and mustard, coronation chicken, salmon and creme fraiche, beef and horseradish and egg mayo. Served with different types of bread, with one filling in a brioche roll, this is far from a standard sandwich plate.

Moving on to the scone layer, two raisin scones are on offer per person, accompanied by clotted cream and a small jar of fruit jam or preserve. Although the scones are modest in size, they’re delicious and the perfect size to be enjoyed alongside the rest of the afternoon tea.

Coming to the final dish of sweets, this is where the creativity of the chef usually comes through. For the Sunborn Yacht afternoon tea, you’re treated to an Earl Grey panna cotta – keeping on trend with the afternoon tea – plus a chocolate delice, a mini jam tart and a delicious passionfruit cheesecake.

You can view the full Sunborn Yacht afternoon tea menu as of October 2022 here .

How to book Afternoon Tea on the Sunborn Yacht

You can book afternoon tea directly on the Sunborn Yacht website , or via a third party provider.

Can I buy a voucher?

The Sunborn Yacht Afternoon Tea is a unique idea for a gift, and vouchers are available for afternoon tea or afternoon tea with cocktails directly on the Sunborn Yacht website .

There are also vouchers on Wowcher for a discounted rate, though there are usually time limitations on these, for example only during the week.

Does the yacht move?

Nope! The yacht is permanently moored in the dock, and has virtually no movement or swaying despite being in the water.

Is there a dress code?

Afternoon tea is still considered a nice way to spend the afternoon and an event to dress up for. While there’s no formal dress code, you’ll likely feel a little out of place if you turn up in joggers and a hoody. It’s best to aim for smart-casual.

How to get to Sunborn Yacht

By car: Sunborn Yacht is permanently docked just next door to the Excel Exhibition Centre, so the car park there is conveniently located to use for access.

By public transport: If you’re arriving by tube, the nearest stations are Custom House (Elizabeth Line and DLR) or Canning Town (Jubilee Line).

By cable car: If you’re coming from/ going to Greenwich after, don’t miss the opportunity to catch the cable car!

Can you stay on board the Sunborn Yacht?

If you’re looking for a really luxurious experience, you can pair your afternoon tea with a stay on board the Sunborn Yacht Hotel . It’s a great location for exploring East London, but with accommodation as quirky and fancy as this, wouldn’t you want to stay on board and enjoy it?

My experience

My cousin recently got married and as a belated celebration we had a girl’s day enjoying the Sunborn Yacht afternoon tea. Four of us made our way to the yacht on a chilly October day, with the rain clouds threatening overhead.

Stepping out from the dockside lift into the main lobby, we were greeted with an instant wow factor. The grand chandelier hung between the curved staircases, and we made our way up to the restaurant to be shown to our table. It was fairly quiet in the restaurant despite being 1pm on a Saturday, but we didn’t mind as we were here for two things: cakes and catch ups.

The staff were very attentive, and our hot drinks appeared in front of us in no time: two teas, two coffees. As we started to settle in, the plate stands were placed on the table and we got stuck in. I don’t know about you, but our method is start at the bottom with the sandwiches, and work our way up to the scones and then desserts.

My mum and I shared our plate stand, offering to swap sandwiches we each didn’t like. My favourite was the ham and mustard on soft, squidgy white bread, with just enough mustard to give it a hint of ohh without overpowering the thick slices of ham.

Moving up the scones, the age old debate of jam or cream first was quickly settled with a generous smooshing of both. I had an unusual selection of blackcurrant jam, and while initially I wasn’t sure, it turned out to be quite a nice change. The other pot of jam on our plate was raspberry, a firm favourite in my family to have with scones.

The top plate was calling to us, but we’re old hands at this afternoon tea game and knew the key was pacing. Thankfully we were in great company and managed to stretch our afternoon tea out over several hours, being offered top ups on our drinks at regular intervals. By the time we were ready to head off, any leftover food had really been sat out too long to request a doggy bag.

Would I recommend it?

Absolutely! The yacht is very impressive, and although a large portion of it is the hotel, the view from the restaurant over the water is gorgeous. If it’s a sunny day and you can sit outside, just wow. There aren’t many places you can enjoy afternoon tea on a boat in London, so it has a unique feel to it.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent, what more could you ask for? Oh, price. In comparison to the cost of afternoon tea at some of London’s fancier spots, the Sunborn Yacht afternoon tea is very reasonably priced, especially if you can snag a voucher on a discount website!

Carolin | Solo Travel Story (@SoloTravelStory)

I never say no to an Afternoon Tea in London and this one is very close to my former base in East London. Definitely a cool spot to check out. The pricing is very moderate and I would love to try it myself. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and making me aware that this experience exists.

Carolin | Solo Travel Story

Such an amazing way to spend an afternoon for a special occasion! Now that I think of it, I don’t think I’ve had a proper afternoon tea ever, even during my stay in the UK – though I *did* have a lot of scones (with cream first! I think my method would be the same as you: starting at the bottom then making my way to the top layers!

“Polite staff and incredible food with an exceptional view.” Review of Afternoon Tea at Sunborn Yacht Hotel London

What an experience! My sister and I visited Sunborn Yacht for a phenomenal afternoon tea. From entering the reception area, we were greeted by the happy, helpful members of staff who pointed us in the right direction of the afternoon tea area. We were then waited on by a lovely, young lady (Mica) who made sure we had everything we needed and more. During our visit, the manager (Sarwar) assisted us with our voucher issue ensuring we had a stress free and enjoyable afternoon tea. I believe the photo of our food speaks of itself 😍 I would highly recommend visiting and will definitely be going again.

Was really looking forward to the afternoon tea but came away feeling underwhelmed. It's a lovely venue and the staff were friendly but they were the only good points. I assumed the food would be freshly made but when it arrived it didn't seem very fresh. Some of the items weren't as stated on the menu so we were unsure of exactly what they were. Other guests were able to swap and change items from the menu but we weren't told this was possible so just accepted what was given. Although the staff were helpful on arrival they disappeared once the food was served so I had to try to get their attention and call them over several times. I expected the staff to be more attentive. I bought the afternoon tea from Groupon so was just glad I hadn't paid full price.

An uncomfortable experience from beginning to end. My friends and I were made to feel unwanted by the racist manager running the restaurant. He purposefully told servers to not serve us, indirectly blamed us for being seated at a table that we didn’t even select ourselves, spoke down to us, and in general gave us the impression that he didn’t want us there. He was extremely demeaning and belittling in how he spoke to us and made us feel like we were not allowed to ask any questions. He specifically told servers to prioritise the tables nearby, all of which were seated with white customers, and to not bother with our table at all. He told servers to not provide my pregnant friend with a water refill, claiming that “they’ll just keep asking for more so don’t give it to them”. He made snide remarks when we wanted to confirm that our booking was for the correct number of people, implying that we were being absurd to want to ensure that we’d not be overcharged for an error on their end. This shouldn’t have been a surprise considering that he wrongly assumed we’d pay with a coupon the minute he saw our faces anyway. The cost does not match the experience in the slightest. Please don’t waste your money, there are better places where you can get afternoon tea and you won’t get treated poorly based on your race or religion. The only thing that smelled worse than the lingering sewage stink, was the manager’s attitude.

I came for 1 night with my daughter as a treat and we had so much fun...we found disabled parking immediately right in front of the yacht thanks to the guidance via phone from the beautiful and friendly receptionist Lizzi,she was very friendly and professional...as I was in a wheel chair she helped me upgrade to a executive suite on the same floor as reception. ALL the staff were amazing including the manager...I think hus name was Amar?...they made our experience more enjoyable as it was our 1st time on a yacht....other than the loud noise of the aeroplanes (not as loud once room balcony door is closed) and no mushrooms left at breakfast,I had no problems...We definitely will be coming back again... Thank you Sunborn Yacht Hotel Team :) Ps.dont book through Groupon...it worked out more expensive than booking with them directly.

Booked a weekend in London for my wife’s 40th birthday and arranged afternoon tea here as part of her treat. The yacht is beautifully decorated inside. We were seated on the deck in the sun and treat like royalty. The staff were amazing and the food was beautiful. I can not recommend this enough.

Afternoon tea at Sunborn

I was looking for somewhere different for afternoon tea and came across Sunborn Yacht Hotel, I originally though it was in the Canary Wharf but it's further out near the excel centre. Our first impressions coming up to the yacht were good. You take a lift up to the reception area . From here there is the bar area where we had afternoon tea and up the centre stairs there is a restaurant which looked lovely and would be the ideal place for afternoon tea as it was bright and seemed more luxurious. The staff are very friendly and polite our table was reserved and we had two big couches. The bar itself is quite bland and understated with loads of large couches. There was a good selection of teas which we picked from. The afternoon tea was nicely presented the sandwiches were fresh as were the scones. The reason I marked lower than very good is that I didn't think the cakes were up to a good standard given the price. The cupcake was ok but served with hundreds and thousands, the brownie and carrot cake slice tasted dry. As afternoon tea is such a popular and there is so much choice of venues in London I would expect more. It lacked any wow factor. Overall it was a pleasant experience but not enough to warrant a return unfortunately. More

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing Sunborn London to have your afternoon tea. I was glad to read that your first impression of Sunborn was good and that you found the team friendly and polite, however I was sorry to read that you found the brownies and carrot cake slices dry. In the next few months we will introduce a new Afternoon Tea concept and I hope that you will be back again to try it and give us your constructive feedback. Kind regards, Apostolos Fanaris Frontr Office Manager

From the minute we checked in we were made to feel the most welcome we've ever been made to feel at a hotel. £40 for each day charged to your card upon arrival just incase you use mini bar or room service, given back at end of stay if unused. Upon checking in we were told we had been given a free upgrade to a room with a balcony which was fantastic. We had a dockside view but it was so peaceful and quiet. The room itself was a great size for 2 people and had everything you could possibly need including free wifi which worked perfectly for me, the shower room was an alright size which also had everything you needed. Unfortunately we didn't eat or drink onboard as we found it a little pricey, although I don't know what else we expected from a 4* hotel, hotel bar open until 1am midweek. We found a great indian buffet a 2 minute walk from the hotel entrance which was really good and pretty good value for money too. Room was cleaned when we hung the sign on the door and when I say cleaned I mean cleaned, when we returned to our room after a day trip into London it was sparkling. We had a 2 night stay as we were attending an event at the O2 and believe it or not, this was the cheapest hotel I could find in this specific area. Checking out was so easy and the staff were again lovely, we got a card so if we stay again we hand it over when checking in and get something free ie room upgrade or meal so if that or the hotel itself is not an incentive to return then the fact that all staff are first class definitely is. Will definitely return in the future.

The yacht looks very impressive. We stayed for two nights as we were going to the boat show which is held at excel, which is a two minute walk away. The rooms are lovely, we had an executive suite with balcony and it was very comfortable and had a tablet and wifi, robes, slippers, coffee machine, mini bar. The staff were very freindly and helpful, especially Nazma(meaning star) on the front desk. We had been before and she remembered us. The breakfast was excellent, everything you could ask for. The reception is very impressive with a gold staircase and chandelier. We highly recommend this hotel.

I will pass all your kind words to Nazma, I'm sure she will be extremely happy. Thank you for recommending us to other travellers and we look forward to welcoming you back on board soon. Kind regards, Apostolos Fanaris Front Office Manager

We stayed here for two nights whilst attending the O2. I have to say it was absolutely amazing. The room was a great size with a balcony overlooking the Thames and the staff were very professional and courteous, you would know they were professionals and not just there for a job, but had a real interest in the Hospitality Industry. The view from the yacht at night was amazing and you could see the O2 lit up in all its glory. Would definitely recommend here if you are visiting O2 and will be staying again and with the City Airport only five minutes away, it is perfect. Five stars

Dear Guest, What an excellent review for your excellent stay! Thank you so much for this review and for choosing to stay with us.

Kind regards, Apostolos Fanaris Front Office Manager

We had an amazing stay at the Sunborn London. Booked as a surprise gift for my Husband, alongside concert tickets at the O2, we had the most fantastic time. Located outside the Excel building, the yacht itself looks very impressive and is very secure. You enter the yacht via a lift, but can only access the reception - the other floors are only accessible using a room key card. We were given an upgrade to a Riverview Executive Suite which had a private balcony looking out over the water to the O2. The room was spacious and luxurious and contained a tablet to access the free wifi along with the usual features you would expect to have in a 4 star hotel. Our booking included breakfast, which is self service. There was plenty to choose from including, a hot selection, cereals, fruits etc. The hot food is replenished very frequently, so you are guaranteed a freshly cooked breakfast. We later stayed for an evening meal after having a drink in the lounge bar. We were even escorted from the lounge to the dining room by one of the bar staff and introduced to the member of staff in charge that evening. We were made to feel special, as I would imagine you would be if you privately hired a luxury yacht like this. We ordered just a main course each, as we had to get back home that evening and had a long train journey ahead. The food was freshly cooked, well presented and delicious with lots of flavour. All the staff in the hotel were very friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and we would definitely book again.

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for such a great review and for staying aboard Sunborn London. I was thrilled to read that your stay was thoroughly amazing and that you appreciated your spacious room with the great views, the service you received form the team and the food you had in our restaurant over dinner and breakfast.

Kind regards, Apostolos Fanaris Frontr Office Manager

Afternoon Tea at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel in London

• February 21, 2022

Another day in London means another Afternoon Tea spot obviously. And to keep things simple, Sabina had booked us in for Afternoon Tea at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel in London.

Read here: Overnight stay at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel.

So now I can confirm, I’ve stayed overnight in a yacht and I have had Afternoon Tea in a yacht too. The fact that it was moored, doesn’t need to come into it, its still a floating hotel.

Read here: Bateaux London. Afternoon Tea on the River Thames

After Breakfast we jumped onto the Emirates car cables and spent the day shopping at the O2. Afternoon Tea after a day of shopping was needed, and so we jumped back on to the cables and made our way back to the Sunborn yacht hotel.

Once again I was blown away, as soon as you enter the yacht hotel you leave the hustle and bustle of London behind. And the entrance feels just like a Cruise ship should, with the spiral glass staircase and grand chandelier

Afternoon Tea is served at The Lands End restaurant, and we managed to get a seat with a view. A view of the London rain pouring down, but nevertheless its a view right?

The Land Ends Restaurant

The overall look of the restaurant is very vintage, the blue carpets with the anchors, the wooden tables, combination straight up chairs, mirrored ceilings, all with gold warm tones, dimly lit, warm.

It almost has a Gentlemen’s room feeling, like I was expecting a couple of men in tuxedos with cigars to walk through with bourbon glasses. (Yes. I am visualising a scene from the Titanic)

Drinks Menu

The afternoon tea at the Sunborn comes with a bubbly- obviously we don’t have alcohol, so the waitress helped us out with some non-alcoholic fizz to start.

For teas their was a selection of 4 available, 2 types of coffees, and hot chocolate was also offered. I always go for the box standard English breakfast to start , and if I feel inventive we had a option to change it midway.

Sandwiches and Scones

I don’t think I’ve ever had this many options of sandwiches in a vegetarian afternoon tea.

for sandwiches we had

• Spiced tofu sandwiches,
• Mature chedder cheese and chutney,
• Classic cucumber with yoghurt dill and chive,
• Avocado with cream cheese
• Red cabbage with spiced tofu.

We had super warm scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, they were so soft, warm and buttery.

Sweet treats

And the top tier and the prettiest was a selection of sweet treats

• Rhubarb Panna Cotta,
• Chocolate Ganache Brownie,
• Almond Tart

Read here: Sketch London, Afternoon Tea in the Pink room

I loved the environment, the overall look, it actually felt like we were on a cruise. I love that they have kept the whole vintage look of a cruise ship, the dim colours and masculine 1900’s kinda vibes.

The afternoon tea was really nice, I loved the creativity of the sandwiches which is usually rare when you go for vegetarian afternoon tea. The scones were warm and fresh which always is a bonus. Tea and drinks were topped up on request, and the desserts were delectable.

The customer service was second to none, the lady that served us was warm, friendly and attentive to our needs.

Altogether an absolute fabulous day, and I would recommend Afternoon Tea here in a heartbeat. Even if it is just to see the Interior and get the fabulous photo at the staircase.

If you can book it on a warm day when the suns shining, I’m sure Afternoon Tea on the deck overlooking the Thames and Canary Wharf would be out of this world

Afternoon Tea at the Sunborn is £35 per person and can be booked here.
