Featuring views of the river from the 120-year-old terrace house, this versatile restaurant is best known for its old-world high tea. Freshly baked scones, pastries and finger sandwiches will whet your appetite, while popular choices include savouries such as smoked salmon and whipped brie or homemade sausage rolls.

It is a beautiful heritage building and the atmosphere was lovely, although posh they were very welcoming to kids.
