As much as coffee has taken the city by storm, we think most Londoners still have a soft spot for a nice cup of tea and a sit down. And some cakes, perhaps a few sandwiches – and don’t forget the scones. Yet proper tea-focused cafés are few in their number – and that caff you go to for a mug of builders’ tea doesn’t count.
To a Tea is as quaint as it sounds. It’s a tea emporium and café that is incongruously located on a dull, grey stretch of Farringdon Street. It’s a much bigger space than you’d expect – with lofty ceilings and ample room for perusing the grand floor-to-ceiling display of the own-branded loose-leaf teas for purchase.
