Is there anything more English than High Tea? I suppose you could queue for High Tea (at the Ritz?) or you could just go to The Grand at St Pancras station. We were given a voucher for 2-4-1 High Tea, so decided we absolutely should. It was such a lovely experience. The Grand is a beautiful restaurant - I would definitely consider having your pre-Eurostar champagne there rather than the Champagne Bar, as it is certainly warmer.
As you can see from the picture, we got plenty of food - a selection of sandwiches (the egg was surprisingly the best), scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, a strawberry tart, fruit cake (no good) and an orange cake (surprisingly good). We washed all this down with a glass of pink English fizz and plenty of English Breakfast tea.
The service was excellent, the setting felt very olde worlde English and altogether, we felt terribly English!
