We used to frequently pop up to London before the pandemic and always booked a table for afternoon tea. You tend to do this when you hit 60+ with plenty of time on your hands. We always went to one of the good ones such as Fortnum & Masons, The Ritz, The Savoy, The Savage Garden, Oxo Tower, The Royal Lancaster and the Goring.
The Ritz was really the best with the Savage Garden also surprising good in a more relaxed way.
The shops in London are good, the theatres are good, as are the restaurants. We really miss our day trips up town.
Yesterday we decided to call in at a good hotel in the Cotswolds and what a disappointment. The basics where the same, sandwiches, scones and cakes but some how it just lacked the style and ambiance of the London places.
No doubt about it, a man who tires of London is tired of life.
