Tea with the Moon

Can I just start out by saying that any place where the busker plays a harp outside tells you it's going to be out of the ordinary inside :). Am I right? This is one of my most favourite places to have tea in London and it's the Victoria and Albert Museum (not the same location as the museum of childhood I posted about before.) There are moon chandeliers above, gorgeous piano music below, and the feel of culture floating through the corridors. 
Here is a place I could stay for hours not even moving much except from the inside to outside. It was a good place to meet up with Elisha where we caught up on seven years over multiple cups of tea with good stories and the moons above watching us the whole time.

The Cake Hole

I didn't realize it, but I've been racking up places to have tea and they are too good to be kept a secret :) Let me begin with the first place I visited back in March called the Cake Hole. It is aptly named as a little hole in the wall in the back of Vintage Heaven off of Columbia Flower Market where you can delight yourself with classic English cakes.  Here you'll be having communal tea circa 1970 nibbling on finger sandwiches. Follow the falling petals to this charming cafe.
