The Orangery at Kensington Palace

The Orangery at Kensington Palace offers an afternoon tea experience steeped in royal tradition. The ritual is often attributed to The Duchess of Bedford, Anna Maria Russell (1783-1857) who served as one of Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting. To curb her afternoon hunger pangs, the Duchess introduced a light meal of tea, sandwiches, and small cakes - a practice that quickly gained popularity within royal circles and beyond.
