Groupon Asks Lindsay Eccles, owner of Cafe Infinity, about the delights of afternoon tea and eatery's interior.

G: Why do you think afternoon tea is such an institution?

"Afternoon tea is a quintessential English tradition known throughout the world. Tea is an afternoon ritual in civilised society, satisfying hunger until dinner and acting as a relaxing break between the toils of the day and the indulgences of the evening."

G: What are the cornerstones of afternoon tea etiquette?

"Fine china, table linen and cutlery. Finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off, scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, delicate cakes and fancies. The finest tea leaves, brewed to perfection in a warmed teapot. Waiter service to attend to your every need. A time for calm and a chance to unwind, participate in polite conversation and enjoy the company of others."

G: What's the cafe like?

"It features views over the river, a vaulted ceiling, and glass windows facing the balcony. The building has been matched with striking modern furniture, design-led crockery and contemporary artwork. The room creates a restful and calming ambience whatever the weather."

G: To which famous person or people would you like to serve afternoon tea, and why?

"If I had to choose, it would be Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Phillip. They are the ultimate representatives of all things British and their tireless commitment to the nation is beyond compare."
