Lanesborough, London
The Lanesborough is one of the
top ten hotel palaces in the
world. It is located very close to
Buckingham Palace. We had
made a reservation at the
Conservatory for tea prior to
our visit. Of all the tea courts I
have ever been present in, the
Conservatory was definitely one
of the most memorable. A roof
of glass brought about a feeling
of being outside in the sunshine,
without having to suffer the
weather conditions, noise, etc.
Our hostess was one of the
types of individuals who is not
afraid to smile. As a result, we
felt both welcomed and
comfortable.

The following paragraphs can
be found within the tea menu :
| "OUR TEAS have been carefully selected with the help of Malcolm Ferry Lay, Master of Teas, whose family has been connected with the tea trade since 1842. Like all natural products, tea varies considerably throughout the seasons and for this reason, The Lanesborough teas are tasted daily, ensuring quality and consistency of flavour." "THE SAMOVAR: a metal urn that was a Russian invention of the mid-eighteenth century, used primarily to heat water. Pinecones were packed at the bottom, then lit causing the water in the urn to boil. In the late 1700's the English started using silver samovars to make tea. Considered an object d'art by many today, we have revived this charming tradition at The Lanesborough" |

During the entire afternoon tea
experience, we were very impressed
with our surroundings, and referred to
various unique objects often. We
thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the
piano and the peaceful waterfalls. The
combination of sounds was quite
soothing to our ears.
With such a grand, sophisticated place
like The Lanesborough, we never
would have thought we would have
encountered such kind-hearted people;
however, we were proved very wrong,
and we took much pleasure in our visit.
