The Fan Museum
Overlooking a "secret" Japanese garden, the beautiful orangery in Greenwich’s unique Fan Museum is the perfect space to unwind with a cup of tea and cake.

This delicious London afternoon tea offers amazing value at only £9 per person (museum admission is £5, free to London Pass members).
Cinnamon Bazaar
Tuck into a budget afternoon tea with an Indian twist during the Bazaar High Chai at Covent Garden's Cinnamon Bazaar.
