You put down tables and charge an exuberant amount of money for tea. The Orangery lacked any competition, located next to Kensington Palace in the namesake park with the only rivals being trailer vendors serving fish chips and soft serve ice cream. The building was a baroque masterpiece, with a serving area towering three stories to the roof. Light beamed in from the ground-to-ceiling windows. When they built the AMC Pacer, the designers must have looked at the Orangery and said, "Yeah...read more
