To A Tea | The V&A
I love the
V&A.
Pretty much everything about it...
The architecture.
The pieces inside.
The fact that Victoria & Albert created it
to be a museum for the working class
and made it accessible to them by keeping it open late
(and, controversially, by candlelight)
so people could come after working hours.
I love the sitting area outside in the courtyard.
{And, of course, I love the fact that it is free to visit.}
BUT I REALLY LOVE THEIR CAFE.
I mean, honestly...
how gorgeous is this place?
It's one of my favorite places to meet up.
Not only is the food great
and the setting amazing,
but I like to do a quick run through the museum
to learn one new thing every time I'm there.
I kinda feel like it's a waste if I'm in a place
that is so amazing
and don't even see the exhibits.
{Then again, I'm a bit of a dork.}
When Megan was in town
on her bon voyage tour,
we went for a girls day.
It was wonderful.
I ate a lot.
I'm going to call it "emotional eating" because Megan was leaving...
but it might also have been because those scones were awesome.
However you want to call it.
Either way,
the V&A rocks.
A few things to know:
The V&A doesn't do giant tea trays of small sandwiches & treats.
Instead, they have serving lines of hot food, cold food, baked goods & drinks.
It's, basically, the most gorgeous cafeteria you've ever eaten it...
and with some of the best/freshest food, too.
