One of my favorite pastime environs in England, containing certainly my favorite cocktail bar in the world. Loved, too, for its many #NinaSimone connections!
Roll up, roll up! This festive season, we celebrate ‘All the Fun of the Fair’, with decorations inspired by the spectacle, experience and illusion of traditional British fairgrounds. 🎄📽️ #SavoyChristmas #ChristmasIsComing

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
