Doth take tea


Antique teacups at Camden Passage Market, Angel.





Fleur Tea Pot and Stop For Tea Gift Set- Whittard of Chelsea.

Like most girls I have a thing for teasets. The search for the perfect tea pot and matching cups and saucers is ongoing and it's only sheer will power that keeps me from purchasing one tea pot a week! But I still love looking and London is the perfect place to look for teasets. Teatime is a national pastime here and given that it's cold for much of the year alot of tea drinking is recommended so owning a special teaset is therefore quite necessary. Street markets are a great place to find authentic antique cups and saucers but for a killer matching set check out some of London's many tea shops like High Tea of Highgate which is the cosiest tea shop I've found in London so far.
