"If you like the sound of being treated like royalty, in a room that looks like the set from The Princess Diaries, then you should book afternoon tea at The Goring. Nothing makes us feel more fancy than a three-hour afternoon tea at this five-star hotel in Belgravia. You’ll get excellent versions of the typical fluffy scones and mini cakes, but you’re not really here for the food. You’re here to have your tea poured for you and your plate changed whenever a crumb gets too close to it. Typically, the idea of someone hovering over us and swooping in to check if everything’s OK every millisecond might be invasive, but at The Goring, we don’t even notice." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
