Glasgow\u2019s original Willow Tearooms were designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1903. Commissioned by local tearoom empress Kate Cranston, the site was restored by a charitable trust and re-opened in 2018 as a social enterprise, Mackintosh at The Willow. (\u2018The Willow Tea Rooms\u2019, operating at a different site in the city, is a separate business). The only tearoom designed both inside and out by Mackintosh, right down to the high-backed chairs that became one of his trademarks, it\u00a0is now a 200-seat restaurant spread across three floors. The big draw is afternoon tea in the Salon De Luxe.<\/p>\n

A quill\u2019s throw from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, The Fourteas is just the place for a pot of tea (try the house blend, a perky mix of Keemun and Ceylon custom-designed by a specialist local company) and a homemade scone laced with jam and cream. Owner Zenios Loucas once worked in the Palm Court at The Ritz and, while The Fourteas has a more utility-chic, 1940s feel than the hotel\u2019s famously lavish Louis XVI dining room, there\u2019s an equally palpable focus on indulgence. The business has recently started selling hampers and cream teas online, the latter neatly packaged in replica gas mask boxes.<\/p>\n

A polished, modern spin on the vintage tearoom, The Vintage Tearooms is a large cafe on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with tables spread over two floors and a leafy tea garden. Downstairs is a Cath Kidston-inspired room with large windows painted duck-egg blue and a sideboard brimming with seriously good homemade cakes, while the upper floor takes its cues from the 1940s. Grab one of the wingback chairs and gaze over the village of Tealby through large bay windows while you nibble your way through smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, warm scones or a slice of white chocolate and raspberry cake (served on vintage china, of course).<\/p>\n

Stylish and fun, with plants blooming from china teapots and a constellation of flouncy vintage lampshades overhead, The Hidden Treasure Tea Room in Exeter has an impressively original menu. It also has a sideline selling vintage crockery, Devon cream teas, bake-your-own kits and seasonal afternoon teas for local delivery. All the usual suspects make an appearance on the menu but thanks to owner Vicki Parks\u2019 background organising bespoke tea parties and pop-up supper-clubs, so do cranberry scones, madeleines dipped in dark chocolate and honeycomb, devilled eggs, fig and goats cheese canap\u00e9s and elderflower mojitos.<\/p>\n

One of a handful of vintage trains running luxury day trips from stations around Britain, the Northern Belle is\u00a0a restored 1930s showstopper. Book\u00a0one of its sepia-tinted afternoon tea journeys and you\u2019ll find yourself in a glitzy tearoom on wheels. The train\u2019s historic Pullman-style carriages are decorated with mosaics and marquetry panels created by A Dunn & Son\u00a0(a 126-year-old Essex firm known for its work on ocean liners RMS Titanic<\/i> and RMS Queen Mary<\/i>). Sip champagne between bites of dainty sandwiches, scones, cakes and pastries as your chosen corner of the British\u00a0countryside sweeps by.<\/p>\n
