"We’re pretty sure that the Queen was born in Claridge's. That, or, someone comes from the palace to spray the place with royal air once a week. That’s one of the reasons why you’re going to be paying at least £90 for tea here. Another is the Mayfair location, the live pianist and cellist, and the fact that everything—from the sandwiches to the scones—tastes just a bit better than it does almost everywhere else. You should also spend some time with the pastries. The vanilla bourbon religieuse alone blows the sweet section of every other afternoon tea out of the water." - Rianne Shlebak
