The Ritz London Hotel - London, England, UK - Satellite Imagery Oddities on Waymarking.com

The Ritz Hotel on Piccadilly in London is the premiere establishment at which to Take Afternoon Tea in Britain.
Taking Afternoon Tea is a longstanding British tradition and is still thriving at The Ritz Hotel.

In 1,000 Place To See Before You Die: Revised Second Edition by Patricia Schultz (ISBN: 978-0-7611-5686-4) taking afternoon tea at the Ritz is described in the following terms:
"AFTERNOON TEA - Nowhere is Britain's most sacrosanct daily custom performed with more reverence or flair than at the rococo Palm Court of the Ritz Hotel."

Afternoon Tea is more than just a cup of tea and consists of dainty finger sandwiches with freshly baked scones served with homemade strawberry jam. There is additionally a selection of bite-sized cakes and fancy pastries.

The pub sign features a 3D-image of a red lion sandwiched between two Perspex panels and hangs from the same historic bracket where the traditional pub sign previously hung. Its modernity is in marked contrast to the interior of the Pub which has been described as ‘a rare example of original Victoriana at its best.
