My wife and I experienced afternoon tea at the Savoy in London for the first time ...

... in our lives today. First thought was โ€œThis is too much food!โ€ but the second thought was โ€œWhen can we go back?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰

Did you know or notice that the little street in front of the hotel is opposite to the rest of the city and country? Itโ€™s the only street in the whole UK where cars are supposed to drive on the right.

Interesting! I didn't notice that. Do you know why that is?

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

It is believed to be from the times of horse and carriage. The driver could open the door to the passenger without getting out of their seat by reaching out behind them.

Wow ... really a very pleasant afternoon tea ... I see the food dish looks very delicious. Have a nice trip, my friend.

Thank you! I'm feeling pretty pleasantly plump after eating all that food. : )

That looks amazing!


I've never had the afternoon tea there. But I have enjoyed a couple of delightful drinks at the American Bar.

It was so good! I'm sure their cocktails there are pretty amazing. Our Airbnb is close so we may go back.

If you are looking for an interesting place to drink ... The tiki in me would never forgive myself if I didn't recommend the Mahiki or Kanaloa. They are unique to say the least.

Ahh, thank you. We'll have to look them up! Have you heard of the Kahiki? It was a supper club in my hometown of Columbus, OH. They were very well known with the tiki crowd. I have two mugs from the restaurant at home circa 1960's. I worked there as a busboy in high school.

Hrmmmm... I didn't really get into the tiki scene until 2009. It looks like it was a very cool place ...

I bet there would be a lot of folks on http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/ that would be interested in those mugs.

I like the Polynesian culture, but I don't collect much.

What's in the glass?? Doesn't look like tea to me.

It's fizzy grape tea. Lol. ; )

Afternoon tea has never been about tea ๐Ÿ˜ itโ€™s all about cakes and bubbly.

So the tea is just a prop? The more I learn about the Brits the more I like them.... ; )

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

You got that right, tea is just an excuse and codeword ๐Ÿ˜

@ericvancewalton, One thing is purely reflecting by this picture and that is you had abundant time. Enjoy your time ahead.
