Tea in London

While waiting for the women travelers to gather, I ordered tea for myself and our native London walking guide. Happy to observe a true Brit taking tea, I took note of  the tea etiquette.  Our guide was cheerful and commented  that the tea service at our hotel was quite proper. I learned that certain requirements are mandatory for proper English tea. The cream being warmed so as not to chill the tea is a must. Tea taken anytime, at home or traveling, can provide a respite to the drive through pace of life today.  In my case, tea time was sharing the hour to get further acquainted, review our walking routes, and absorb the depth of local knowledge being shared. Tea in London has been enjoyed to share special birthday celebrations, pre theatre evenings and after our evening meals to savour the after dinner conversations that always inspire, provide humor and unending life stories.  Tea in London is offered formally at many places.  I like The Palm Court at the Ritz for afternoon tea pictured here. Throughout the country, tearooms are a lovely part of the authentic English culture.  Perhaps you will join us for tea in London enjoying one of life's pleasantries in England.
