BEST PLACE TO TAKE NANNA: The Tea Room

I’m not quite sure what it is about the Tea Room: the pouffes and high teas, perhaps? The ever-so-quaint waiters who swan from table to table, happily pulling chairs out for the ladies and making puns about waterfowl? Or is it just the giddy thrill of finally being allowed to drink from the good china? Whichever it is, the place is a delight. What’s more, it’s highly unlikely that anyone is going swear at Gran during your luncheon, so you can nibble away at your scones stress-free. (Sophie Tarr)
