Cafe$$

A Queen Victoria Building staple since 1997, this old-school venue is typically a symphony of clinking silver spoons on Royal Albert Old Country Rose china and the hushed murmurs of well-tended patrons. Tea by Germany’s Ronnefeldt brews in silverware pots, the delicate peach oolong, earthy Orange Pekoe or fittingly regal Lady Grey a prime pairing for scones as big as your fist.

Best for: Traditional and sparkling high teas that take you back in time.
