The Original Maids of Honour

Tea house · Kew

"Seconds from Kew Gardens, The Original Maids of Honour is the best kind of tourist trap: a genuinely ancient place, that sells decent food and brings it out quickly. To avoid getting ripped off, order a portion of scones rather than one of the sets, along with a pot of tea. The scones are dainty things, soft and aerated, with just enough structure to bear the weight of clotted cream and jam. But the main draw here is the chintzy interior, decorated with enough ceramic knick-knacks to supply an episode of Antiques Roadshow. The room is over 160 years old, but it feels more like grandma’s house; it’s the perfect place to enjoy a cream tea." - Isaac Rangaswami
