The Savoy is a very famous, very expensive hotel in central London, on the Strand beside the River Thames. People say “the Savoy” as if it were a place-name; they mean this hotel, not a brand on every corner. It opened in the late nineteenth century and became the sort of London people picture in evening dress: rich travellers, theatre nights, heads of state, afternoon tea.
