EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step back in time to the roaring twenties and experience the elegance and excitement of Ranelagh, a renowned London society resort. This photograph, taken in 1923, depicts an alfresco tea scene on the terrace of this popular destination. Ranelagh Pleasure Gardens were a hub of activity for adults and children alike, offering an array of sporting facilities, refreshments, and entertainment. The image showcases the decadence of the era, with well-dressed crowds enjoying a leisurely moment amidst the lush greenery. The terrace, adorned with ornate columns and intricate detailing, provides the perfect backdrop for this historical scene. The scene at Ranelagh was a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life, offering a much-needed reprieve for London's elite. Ranelagh Pleasure Gardens, located in Chelsea, were a significant part of London's social history. The gardens, which opened in 1742, provided a space for people to come together and enjoy a variety of sports, including cricket, bowls, and tennis. In addition to sports, the gardens also featured a lake for boating, a music room for live performances, and a grand ballroom for grand events. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Ranelagh and the importance it held in London society during the early 20th century. It is a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of an afternoon tea on a terrace were cherished experiences."
