If someone crawled into my brain, pulled out my idea of the perfect tea cafe and made it a reality, it would be High Tea of Highgate. HT is owned by proprietress Georgina Worthington, first off, is that the cutest name ever? It is so perfect it sounds made up. Highgate is an idyllic, quiet neighborhood in London where my BFF lives. High Tea is the definitely the crown jewel of this darling enclave.

The scones were literally the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. The tea was exquisite. The atmosphere sublime. Georgina bakes the scones every morning and I’d be there 5 minutes after she opened her doors to sample them every chance I got during my stay. She also offered a selection of tea accessories like tea towels, tea pot cozies and even pieces by Ella Doran.

Mark it on you list of must sees in London. They open at 11 am, make sure you’re there in time to sample a scone right out of the oven.
