Kensington Palace

Kensington Palace does a great Afternoon tea, and the place is also a perfect place to just sit back and relax and unwind. Afternoon tea was apparently first created by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford to combat that dreaded afternoon slump in between the two main meals of the day, breakfast and dinner at around 8pm. So, as the story goes, she asked for tea to be taken in her boudoir with a light snack, and the idea took off. Given that history, what better place to take tea in Kensington than in Kensington Palace itself, surrounded by beautiful gardens after swanning around the palace and pretending that you are a princess yourself.
