Delicious high tea with excellent service. It may not look like a lot of food but it definitely is. Lovely ambience even in the middle of the lobby. Good music that fit the service. Only thing I’d change would be slightly bigger scones with chantilly cream.

Lovely experience as always. Great selection of teas and the food is great as always- we found the desserts a little to sugary and one of the tea sandwiches was weak but otherwise was delicious.
