Twinings Museum, Tea museum and shop in City of Westminster, England
The Twinings building at 216 Strand features classical architecture with a golden lion statue and two Chinese figures above the entrance door case.
Thomas Twining established the tea business in 1706 after purchasing Tom's Coffee House, transforming it into a successful tea merchant establishment at this location.
The museum exhibits document the evolution of British tea commerce through historical artifacts, vintage packaging, and the prestigious Royal Warrant received in 1837.
Visitors can sample various tea varieties at the premium loose leaf bar while exploring displays of tea memorabilia from Monday through Sunday.
The building houses both the oldest continuous tea shop in London and a museum containing original tea caddies and historical trading documents.
