EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to a quintessential scene of English leisure and society at Ranelagh, Barnes in South West London, during the 1920s. This charming photograph captures the essence of a typical tea-time at Ranelagh on a Polo Saturday. The sun casts a warm glow over the immaculately dressed crowd, gathered around outdoor tables adorned with fine china and delicate teacups. The former Kit-Kat Club at Ranelagh was a popular and exclusive destination during the London Season, much frequented by high society. Once the playground of the Kit-Kat Club, Ranelagh's lush lawns now serve as the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of relaxation and socializing. The elegant ladies and gentlemen, dressed in their finest attire, engage in animated conversations, sipping their tea and nibbling on finger sandwiches and cakes. The sight of the polo field in the distance adds to the allure of this idyllic scene. This photograph transports us back to a bygone era of refinement and elegance, a time when the London Season was in full swing, and Ranelagh was the place to be seen.
