The delightfully-named Arthur Probsthain opened his Oriental and African bookshop in Great Russell Street exactly 110 years ago.
While the hordes pile into the local Starbucks, Tea and Tattle remains resolutely undiscovered.
Set afternoon tea is £24.50 (including home made lemonade), but it’s usually best just to look down the à la carte menu, where a tea and scone combo will cost £5.90.
Despite its being easy to walk past, Tea and Tattle is a great place to arrange to meet friends from out of town, as the directions are: opposite the British Museum.
Tea and Tattle is at 41 Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3PE, Mon-Fri 9am–6.30pm, Sat 12pm–5pm.

As the name Books for Cooks implies, this small bookstore café is dedicated to cookery, satisfying the tastes of cooks of all levels, from budding novices to confident chefs.
Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are available at good prices for the parent who attends the events, while nibbles with fun names might tempt the children.
Besides the various one-time events, the shop entertains a weekly schedule for kids under 12, complete with Spanish and French sing-alongs, story times, and book groups offered at various prices that can be found on the website.
The space is small, with everything from the décor (furniture rimmed with gold) to the book collection (which the owner calls ‘just great literature’) exuding eccentricity.
After having explored the unique collection of books upstairs, complete with a small gallery for browsing, make the trip to the tearoom downstairs, where the afternoon teas are not only affordable, but also delectable.
