When visiting London, you’ll no doubt want to taste the London that locals know. That means embracing every aspect of the diverse culture of the UK. With a history of migration and open arms to foreigners, the country has been at the forefront of world trade for centuries. As an island, the main trade of the country has been from imports from the now defunct colonies. One trade which became a staple of the UK was tea, imported from China and India. This is now very much a British staple, and you can’t have a trip to the Uk without going for afternoon tea. This tradition incorporates some of the best British tea flavours with an assortment of cakes and biscuits, making it a relaxing way to spend a mid-afternoon.
