• Expensive but fascinating cup-of-tea choices

This is a specialist tea sellers, with all their tea sourced from particular estates, (and correspondingly expensive) and most of it organic - so high marks environmentally! The staff are very knowledgeable about it and enthusiastic and helpful; it is clearly a place where you can order an expensive tea (and maybe a cake) and while away an hour or so reading or chatting to friends (their are some very comfy armchairs, etc.) They do a couple of vegan cakes every day which are delicious. However, whilst there are vegan choices at lunchtime (generally soups) they also serve meat and fish, so I would only recommend it at non-mealtimes (and lunch can go on until about 3.00, I was told). Very nice otherwise, though and easy to find - close to John Lewis.
