Price: Expensive
• English • Bloomsbury
Ah, there really is nothing more wonderfully British than a nice cup of tea and an opportunity to put your feet up, something the folk at London’s Tea and Tattle know only too well. Situated under the atmospherically delightful Arthur Probsthain Oriental and African Bookseller (est. 1903 no less), Tea and Tattle is a very English escape from the stiff upper lips of the busy streets above. Painted in a bright white, the room is light and airy despite its subterranean location, one wall featuring hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, others eclectic art works, some of course related to the business of bookselling. Calling itself a ‘traditional tea room with a modern cultural twist’, Tea and Tattle specialises in that indulgent favourite, the afternoon tea. It’s a must for tourists and locals in need of a relaxing hour away from the office alike but for those needing something more practical to eat, there’s also a good range of high quality sandwiches, cakes and scones.

    Best fish and chips not only for the quality of food, it is all about their services! We changed our table for 3 times before we settled, sorry that we were like Goldilocks, too hot too cold. The staffs really care about our feelings and helped us to sit at the table which suits our needs.

    A really nice place to meet up with friends in a very relaxed atmosphere. The menu had a good selection of food and drinks. The service by polite, friendly staff was good. They did not rush us so it was great to relax and enjoy our time. Price wise it’s quite expensive so would only go back occasionally.

    Absolutely delicious food and delightful service. Can thoroughly recommend for a great night out or even in our case a pre theatre dinner. Tonight there was also a great vibe and atmosphere l guess due to the fact it’s nearly Christmas.
