Afternoon tea at The Cadogan is a true English delight.
The Cadogan is something of a legend, having been a haunt of Oscar Wilde and a fixture on the London luxury-hotel scene for as long as there’s been such a thing. After a lengthy absence and a thorough renovation, it’s back, this time as the Belmond Cadogan Hotel, and by the look of it, the last time it looked so fresh might have been the day it opened in 1887.
