Personally, I'd opt for somewhere cheaper, younger and less stuffy. Go to Bloomsbury (a neighborhood near the British Museum, made famous by the Virginia Woolf and her literary set) and drop into Bea's (beasofbloomsbury.com), which offer sumptuous cakes and tea in a little café for around $12. And whilst it's a 40-minute subway trip from the city center near the Canary Wharf financial district, the Mudchute Kitchen (mudchutekitchen.org) has generous farmhouse teas with a strong brew and cream cakes, on a 32-acre urban farm, also for around $12. It's cozy spot, and kids are welcome as well.

I can't believe you didn't list Fortnum & Mason! They have a wonderful tea room there.

Hotels aren't the only place to have tea. Example: Harrods department store.

Tea @ the Orangery next to Kensington Palace is delightful and reasonable.

Yes, I must agree that Harrods is quite good for afternoon tea!

Actually, Tea at Liberty's, tucked away upstairs, is always a treat and you meet some very interesting people there too.

Who needs the fancy hotels? That's rubbish, you just feel out of place and uncomfortable. I agree with John DeLozier, the Orangery in Kensington Gardens, if the weather is nice, is delightful. I remember having a very nice tea at Fenwicks, but that was a few years ago abd I don't know if Fenwicks exists any more.
Frankly I'd rather 'ave a nice cup o' char at 'ome.
In London I like to sit in the window of Costa in lower Regent Street with a cop of coffee and watch the world go by.

Seems like that you’ve placed lots of effort and hard function into your article and I require much more of these using the net these days. I sincerely got a kick from your article. I really do not truly have much to say in response, I only wanted to comment to reply great work. wholesale nhl jerseys.
