Now not strictly a museum, but this is a post about the ‘museum-like’ aspects of this AMAZING store. Amazing to the point where I want to live there.

A building block facade, I didn’t know I was going to visit until I left the Royal Academy of Art, boy did that up turn my day. Floor after floor of just all magic- not to mention a floor almost solely dedicated to Christmas year round. But I digress- the sheer amount of tea available here is astounding, as well as any and all accompaniments. I did buy some Welsh honey as my accompaniment.

Between the wall of honey and the wall of tea pots throughout history, this is a must stop for any tea lover, or just an average guilty-pleasure lover. The only thing I wish is for my Covid vaccine to be able to enter and smell the wonders of this store next time. 12/10.
