ISO Great Traditional English Tearoom
I'd like to find a great place for tea not far from the British Museum (no more than maybe 10 or 15 minutes by foot or tube). Looking for a very "British" experience, and can pay up to 20 pounds a person (although that sounds quite high), but cannot afford the Ritz (36 pounds per person). Any suggestions?

Harro'ds or several others would be good choices. Buit I recommend something just a bit nearer to the museum. The Court Restaurant at the top of the Great Court in the museum itself does a very good afternoon tea.

There is a Richoux tea shop on South Audley Street off Oxford Street near Selfridge's. You can ride a bus down Oxford. Afternoon tea is £16.50, or £29.95 for two. You get three kinds of sandwiches, scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, a slice of dark fruitcake, and your choice of a pastry from their wonderful assortment on view in a big glass case, plus a pot of tea.
Can you tell I like them?

When did they start eating high tea down south, where Spurs fans live?
Or does Audere think the British Museum is somewhere up north?>>>>>>
We don't eat high tea, keep coal in the bath and we let kestrels live down south.
I can't think of anywhere near the British Museum that does "tea" with all the bumflufferies.

Well it's a bit of a walk, but I rather think the Waldorf does. Or is that just a tea dance?
BTW, I've been a Londoner all my life and high teas were a regular feature of the weekends of my childhood, tinned salmon, fat ham, celery sticks, lurid jellies, aunts making pointed remarks, and all that sort of thing. Victoria Wood must have been eavesdropping on my family.
