The store is small but very pretty and with some exclusive products. In the background it is possible to find a very interesting tasting area. Well worth the visit. There are store-specific promotions for some products but I recommend visiting the online store that has some interesting balances.

I believe this is the original twinings shop. Despite working almost right across the road from here I didn't visit for ages but having done so it's very nice. A wide variety of teas and coffees, unfortunately they're all so sophisticated and subtle I have to go away and educate myself!

This place is amazing if you want to get to know all the different varieties of tea this famous brand has. A nice visit to one of the english traditional beverages. They are also very friendly!

Pay attention because the entrance is tiny! Inside is a tea lover's paradise. My favorites are the Oolong Darjeeling Moonlight Castleton in loose leaves and the Genmaicha (Japanese style, with rice and popcorn, which leave an interesting flavor in the tea).

Although the Twinings museum claims museum status, it is more of a glorified tea shop and tasting area. In the very back of the building there are three display cases with books, tea pots, and documents discussing the brand's history as well as portraits of the Twinings family. I was a bit disappointed with the tasting area. There was only one worker present and after 30 minutes of waiting, I gave up on trying a new tea. I will probably still buy their tea in my local market though.

Perfect for a gift!

I love the shop. So many different flavours of tea and infusion.
Twining is a brand of prestige. You go safe if you want to buy for someone that likes tea.

My wife and I spent about 45 minutes in the shop sampling different teas. It's a free service, but it works we walked out with some much more expensive tea than we planned on buying! Beware!

Neither good nor bad. Pros: The store has a lot of tea to choose from, information on the history of tea, and a cool historic location. Cons: no places to sit and enjoy (no bathrooms either), have to buy individual bags in bulk, just one more person besides yourself makes the place "crowded". Probably best for pop-in and pop-out shopping.

This is like Mecca for tea lovers. In this little shop you can sample some tea and purchase loose leaves or bags of an extensive variety of teas. The staff will answer any questions you have about the history of Twinings or about tea in general. Overall, I'm happy to have come by.

Hidden between 2 giant buildings, Twinings is is such an interesting place to discover. Twinings sells a large selection of teas and infusions in a variety of ways: by the individual tea bag, by boxes of teabags or assorted boxes, or by weight of loose tea. The back section of the shop is a small museum where you can try sips of flavoursome teas bubbling in big glass vats. There are also a few high quality accessories, such as tea pots, tea measures and carry cups, for sale.

Pici is more expensive (5-10p) than in a normal shop. First I recommend that it is a normal shop then this, but they give a nice bag for every purchase. Not only tea but coffee. There is mini exhibition and tasting.

Tea shop with the biggest selection of Twining teas, you won't find the number of Twining teas available anywhere else, including some very high end first flush Darjeeling. Little "museum" of the history of Twinings in the back, you can also request a sample of any tea they sell.

Very kind orders, one star less for the hallucinatory prices and especially for the room, really narrow and cramped. Unfortunately we could not use the tasting because it was closed, probably because we went 50min before closing.

A "must visit" for Tea aficionados .
Here you can find special edition of various tea flavors.
There's also a 'taste section' where you can try different tea, from lotus to black or early grey.
Payment is fast, credit card accepted.

Small, cute teashop with a huge selection of different teas. Each variety has a small glass with a sample of the tea smelling. Each variety is also freshly prepared on request for tasting. The prices are normal.

A very nice little tea shop in London. Definitely worth a visit. There are certainly hundreds of teas and there is a small can of each to sniff. That usually makes the selection all the more difficult. A definite must have for tea lovers.

Went back to the shop after more than 10 months and found it renovated with few changes. Honestly, I didn't like the feeling, too the new. I liked the old atmosphere that made the shop more in character with the area and the long time they have been in business. And I forgot to ask if they still do the tea testing as they used to do before. Still like the variety of teas though.
