Teas and Tours


   Afternoon tea is a staple in the English day. A time to sit back and relax with friends and family around a teapot and light food. Various hotels and cafes all over London offer afternoon tea times and groups are welcome at most places with some planning. Even if it is only something you take the crew out for lunch instead of catering or perhaps it is a safe haven in the corner of a well travelled local cafe, searching for inspiration. You must take afternoon tea at least once.

   And I'll beat this in again and again- TAKE TOURS. 

   You learn so many little bits of information as well it is a great way to get your bearings in a city, especially a city as big as London. There is so much to see, and there is no way you be able to see it all. For me, driving by Westminster Abbey and taking pictures out front was enough for me on this trip. You have to prioritize, with so much to see, there is no way to see everything inside and out. Tours are a great way to streamline major tourist areas, leaving plenty of time to take in the details as well as not rush the things you really want to see.
