I can’t say enough positive things about this scone making activity! Ron is very personable and helpful and he’s going to make sure that your scones turn out well. He has organized this scone making activity so that you start and finish in an hour and yet you have perfect and delicious scones. He even gives you the recipe. There’s also time to interact with your fellow travelers. I highly recommend this activity.!

Tricky to find. You might think you are at the wrong place, but you're not. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves. The hosts were organized and well-informed. Scones were delicious! Relaxed way to spend a few hours!

Our teacher, Ron, is charming. His guidance and instructions made making scones easy. With his tips I have confidence in my scone making abilities

Our family had such a fun time making scones together! Leaf was an amazing instructor, and the scones turned out great- I’ll definitely be making these at home. Highly recommend!

The event only takes an hour, and is a lovely way to get the official Buckingham Palace scone recipe. Leif was our instructor, and he was lovely and warm and patient. I would be happy to attend any workshops he conducted. He is a superstar!
Leif made sure that we didn’t get off track, and that our scones would come out properly. Sitting around the communal table also made it enjoyable to get to know other travelers who were participating.
I would highly recommend this activity!

Fun experience to add to your London itinerary for some down time from sightseeing. The host Lief takes you through the hour long baking class which is a simple no frills introduction to the “Queens scone recipe.” You’ll mix, need, cut and bake your own scones. Then you get to enjoy with the traditional jam, clotted cream and plenty of tea. You’ll make enough to take a few with you for later also. Great activity for the whole family. Just be advised the activity is in the upstairs of a pub and is not accessible to anyone who cannot easily traverse a staircase.

Leif was very clear in his directions and he made this a memorable experience. The scones and tea were delicious!
This was a nice break from running around doing tours. Highly recommend.

We visited London for the first time and wanted to do something traditional. So we signed up to make some proper English scones. Leif was our chef and was so knowledgeable and friendly, we had a wonderful time. And the scones…..were incredible! Highly recommend.

Kerin_H, Aug 2025
This was a wonderful and memorable experience. Our hosts were fabulous. My kids will remember this more so than going to a fancy sit down tea.
Zharmain_Z, Aug 2025
This was such a great activity to do in London. A nice break from all the touristy stuff and a good taste of other UK things to do.
Ron was very nice and gives good instructions, all that you need are provided and all you have to do is have fun!
LINDAK_D, Aug 2025
Very fun and interactive, you will eat your own scones! The scones were delicious. Learned about clotted cream and the Cornwall Devon debate.
Pam_H, Aug 2025
Great fun making scones! Ron was a very entertaining instructor. We had a wonderful time and learned how to make delicious scones!
Alexia_G, Aug 2025
If I could leave no stars I would. We showed up to the location 5min late because of a small mishap and found a closed storefront with no indication that there was a class. After waiting outside for another 10min trying to figure out what was going on and how to contact the organizer, someone in the restaurant saw us staring in the windows and let us inside. We were led upstairs to find the class had begun and were rudely dismissed by the instructor as late arrivers. No refund was offered just shame and embarrassment. My kids were confused and disappointed. What a joke.

We arrived at the location exactly at 1:30 however due to parking issues we had to walk for 5 minutes to reach the place. When i spoke to the provider they told me they would close the doors at 1:35 and at 1:35 we arrived but they didn't let us in. Such a great experience!
Donna_H, Aug 2025
What a fun activity with a friendly, small group of people, making scones, drinking tea, and having some laughs. Our instructor, Leif, was great- kind, friendly, helpful, and entertaining. I had a wonderful time.
Ashtyn_A, Aug 2025
I love scones. I grew up eating them but never learnt how to make them. This course allowed me to do that! We not learnt how to make scone the Buckingham Palace way but we also learnt about the history and some fun tips and tricks. My scones were delicious if I do say so myself and of course put Jam on before my cream! Would do again!
Jason_L, Jul 2025
A great experience learning how to make authentic scones. They were delicious and we even got a few extras to take with us after the tasting…
Lee_Z, Jul 2025
Great couple who were teaching. Highly recommend for a quick, fun low key experience. And the scones were delicious.

The Scone Making Workshop exceeded my expectations. I booked this experience for my niece’s birthday and she was so happy!
Ron was an excellent teacher and the staff helpful. It was nice to sit around the table and talk to other travellers while eating freshly baked scones and sipping tea.

A fun experience and should be added to your trip. The time listed on this site is incorrect as the workshop starts at 1130 not 1115 as listed

What a fun, quick and fantastic workshop! We loved this scone making experience. Our two hosts were so personable and fun. This fast one hour cooking workshop was just perfect! We made scones with a choice of plain, cheddar cheese or raisin and got to taste our creations (with jam and cream, or course) & tea prior to leaving. Leftovers were packaged up and sent with us along with the recipe. It was definitely a memorable experience for us.

I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone! We had such a fun time and the hosts of the event were so kind, informative and knowledgeable about scones. I am so glad we chose to do this and you will be too. Beware that you have to be able to climb a flight of steps.

What a gem of an experience. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We learned a lot about the history of scones especially for the British royalty. The room was comfortable and clean. The time of approximately one hour was just the right amount of time for this type of class. We appreciated the sense of humor from the leader and support staff. We would definitely recommend this tour to others visiting London looking for a fun and hands on class. The recipe was easy to follow and delicious to eat.

Such a wonderful, easy and TASTY activity, especially with kids. Instructions are very easy and the class is the perfect duration, just long enough to keep a 10 year old’s attention AND have time at the end to eat your baked scones with a cup of tea. If you’re fortunate enough to get Danny and Leif, both are excellent instructors! Must do experience. We will be making these when we get home.
