Tea in the UK
August 18, 2009There are a couple helpful websites out there to assist in finding an afternoon tea in the UK. I do make a point of trying a new spot every time I find myself in Great Britain.
Of the candidates, I quite like afternoontea.co.uk, because of the variety of venues, as well as the descriptions for each including times, booking info, menu, etc… There definitely could be more of a selection of tea rooms for some areas, including the South West, which only lists a few hotels. Nonetheless, many visitors will not wander farther than London, where the afternoontea.co.uk website has many locations from which to choose. Among the most popular choices are the Ritz Hotel, the Dorchester, the Goring, Harrods and Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.
The United Kingdom Tea Council website has too much hype, but it is helpful, especially with their reveiws of tea rooms as part of the annual Tea Guild’s Top London Afternoon Tea Award and their Tea Guild’s Top Tea Places list.
