Best Places for Afternoon Tea in Chelsea
Afternoon tea is a time-honoured English tradition. Nothing quite matches the elegant leisure of the whole affair –gourmet tea cakes, scones, and finger sandwiches are paired with the perfect cup of tea and flutes of champagne. The concept originated in the mid-nineteenth century. Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, used to feel hunger pangs at around 4 p.m. but couldn't wait till the 8 p.m. supper. Thus, afternoon tea was born.
