The Ritz has a strict dress code, and yes, it’s as glamorous as it sounds. Jackets are required for men (ties optional but encouraged), and no trainers or sportswear allowed. Think of it as a chance to dress up—like a mini red carpet for scone enthusiasts.
Women often go for smart dresses or chic blazers. Flat shoes are fine, but a heel adds that certain swish. And if you forget a jacket? The Ritz can lend you one, but it’s better to arrive feeling like you belong.
