limster recently praised the afternoon tea at the St James Hotel and Club, it is just over .5 miles from the National Gallery. They have tables tomorrow between 3pm - 5pm.

thanks for the rec.

i wanted something under £15 and only found the national dining room at the national gallery. it was fine, if nothing special to write about. the scones were hard as rocks and cold! at least the clotted cream and rasberry jam were delish!
