The bakery is great, but really... is about the AFTERNOON TEA ON A RED DOUBLE DECKER BUS!
For the price of a normal afternoon tea in any of the main hotels in London (1/2 of the Ritz and its type) you also get a 2 hour bus tour at the same time! They take you past many landmarks and serve you tea and cakes. Not for those that get easily car sick, or with a weak bladder (there's no toilet on the bus).
I have done this for a birthday and many of my friends have since gone and loved it. Its definitely a unique thing to do.

Possibly the prettiest department store in London. Not a budget option, but its free to visit and wander! The restaurant and Tea Room have a wonderfully British decor, and their Afternoon Tea is one of the best in London. (Hint: you can ask for more sandwiches or cakes if you're still hungry and even take a slice of cake to go!)
