Perfect if you have children coming with you.

4. Sketch

The pretty pink interior and the domed ceiling of this place gives the illusion that you’re dining inside a giant macaroon. The sensory tour of the various brews is given while tea & champagne are served in a theatrical manner by a member of the staff.

5. Fortnum & Mason

This place has the best tea selection, a high quality choice of sandwiches & cakes-If you’re new to the whole tea thing, you might be taught how to smell, steep & sip tea the right way as well as have the chance to sample various brands of teas, both popular & rare. What’s not to love ?
