    High tea!

    Mostly packed, and lives up to the fame. Everything in the high tea was amazing, and the environment was elegant and cute, generally made me happy to be there.

    Beautifully decorated and appointed tea room. Had a great cream tea, service was brilliant except after we received our bill, all staff disappeared! Lovely little spot, though.
