What's a trip to London without drinking some of their English afternoon tea right? Pair your tea with warm scones topped with jam and you're basically good to go. Best part of it all, you can drink tea anytime of the day (or night) and it goes well with everything you eat. Isn't that absolutely lovely? ?
