Scones and London’s Savoy hotel have been synonymous since the hotel opened, 136 years ago, and began to serve afternoon tea in its elegant Thames Foyer.
The Savoy opted for a facelift last year and has made some changes, most notably by opening Scoff, a stand-alone offering take-out fresh scones to the masses. (Note that the received English pronunciation of “scone” is to rhyme it with “gone.”)
