The original Twinings shop has sold tea continuously since 1706. Upstairs museum shows tea history, downstairs they do free tastings of premium blends.

Try Earl Grey variations, rare Chinese teas, seasonal blends before buying. Staff explain brewing temperatures and differences properly. Tiny shop packed with every Twinings variety plus exclusive blends only available here.

Much more interesting than touristy afternoon tea places. You actually learn something and can buy proper loose leaf to take home.
