Tea is an essential part of our daily lives. We can attribute this tea drinking tradition in Europe and especially the United Kingdom to Anna who was the seventh Duchess of Bradford. In the old time people only used to have two meals. One was the breakfast and the other one was the dinner and both of these meals were separated by long gaps in between them. Duchess Anna was tired of the long hunger spells and down with this exhaustion she started having tea with some snacks each afternoon.
In the beginning, she was alone to this habit but eventually, her family joined her and so this tradition of having tea began. The trend was followed by their extended family member and then it reached the common man as tea was not only affordable but very refreshing. Londoners love tea and to date, you can find this as an essential part of their daily lives. There are many tea rooms in this beautiful capital city and some of them are worth visiting.
