Afternoon tea • Kimpton Fitzroy London *****

💎 An afternoon tea in a 5-star hotel that blends Edwardian grandeur with modern flair. Think terracotta façades, marble staircases, a Zodiac mosaic in the lobby, and “Lucky George”, a bronze dragon replica from the Titanic. For slow afternoons, go for the hotel’s Afternoon Tea inspired by the 19th-century innovation of Anna, Duchess of Bedford : handmade finger sandwiches, freshly baked buttermilk scones, delicate pastries, and cakes served with old-school grace.
