"If you’ve been around the afternoon tea block, The Langham in Marylebone is the best place to have a relaxed one in London. This isn’t to say that the surroundings are casual—the mirrored, silver-accented Palm Court room is very fancy, as is the Wedgwood crockery your tea’s served on. But this is a place where you can feel comfortable hanging for a while with your pals without worrying about disturbing others. It’s even a good place to bring kids, which helps if your sister absolutely insists on bringing your constantly-in-motion nephews." - rianne shlebak, eileen twum
