Crown & Crumpet

Opened in late 2008, this bright, cheery tearoom boasts lots of flowery chintz, a pink-and-white checkered floor, and crystal chandeliers, as well as beautifully served teas (choose from among 38 varieties) and other light fare. You can augment your meals with champagne, prosecco, sherry, or Madeira, and afterwards browse the little gift shop (which has an intriguing selection of objects tea-related and not). The only twee touch: The servers are called Trolley Dollies.
