"Before Victoria became synonymous with carbon dioxide emissions, it was associated with a certain level of affluence. Buckingham Palace is a diamond's throw from here, after all. The Goring hotel’s afternoon tea service is a fitting throwback to this era. It has all the trappings of a traditional fine dining joint—silver service, petits fours—and treating your favourite out-of-towner to the fluffy scone, unlimited tea experience is an excellent way to convince them you’re on a first-name basis with a Mountbatten." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
