Tea in London Town

I'm going to try and get out there and try more tea!

Well not just more tea, but more tea shops and tea houses... as well as anything else of curiosiTEA I come across! All in the name of scientific study, relaxation and pure unadulterated enjoyment, of course.

For as Sir Arthur Pinero said, "Where there's tea there's hope."
