"Step inside this Marylebone townhouse and head for whichever free table is closest to the wood-burning fireplace. Not only will your clothes dry faster, but you’ll also get to check ‘eat finger sandwiches and demolish a pot of Earl Grey’ off your London bucket list. Afternoon tea is essential when visiting this cuppa-obsessed country, and it’s also extremely useful when the weather is trying to sabotage your trip. Spend a couple of hours in this rustic, mismatched tea room and tell them to keep the raisin scones coming until you see the sun reappear or they kick you out—whichever comes first." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
