Twinings Reviews

Retail shop of the famous brand of tea, where to find all the tastes and special editions, gift packs, limited edition, single sachets, multi packs and metal cases as well as original wooden boxes for sachets, really nice, to visit if you visit London

Their selection of loose leaf tea is unrivalled, the tasting bar is a great touch, I love this place.

The Twinning connection here is a plaque on the wall stating it was the original offices for the Twinning teas company.

When it comes to my 4 o'clock tea I settle for nothing less than the best. That is exactly the reason that I visit Twinings on a regular basis. I am really conservative and usually have the same tea every time but for all those who like to experiment with theirs this shop offers the option to mix your own tea. The place itself is really small and rather charming. Would recommend it to anyone who likes tea the way it's ment to be.

Very traditional English tea shop
Staff very helpful and friendly

This historic tea shop is the original! Huge selection, friendly service, fun atmosphere, great location. They have tea for every taste and budget.

Excellent helpful staff and wonderful selection of tea's... some of which you can try there and then served by very knowledgeable staff.

A must visit place. The tea in various variations in a place with a taste of the past

A must visit when walking in London and close to Covent Garden

Who likes tea will love this place. Many varieties, attentive staff. Also special editions available as a small gift.
Could sniff many varieties were also supplied with samples and are extracted with teas again withdrawn.

Brilliant experiences, happy memories and plenty of knowledge from the staff. There are tea masterclasses run so hopefully when I get a chance I d like to experience that. The items for sale are brilliant and the lovely flavours of the teas are spot on they change seasonally and with the added accessories like Chinese cups etc and coffee this is a experience you won t want to miss.

Magnificent, high end tea shop. With tastings weekly and wonderful service.

I had to come here when visiting London, but I do not understand what all the hype is about. I believe the tea is overpriced and the shop is extremely small. I expected more.

This tiny tea shop in the swelling bloat of today's London is an anchor for me in the understated pleasure of drinking tea through its long history.

A beautiful old shop, I had fun visiting with my daughter who wanted to smell all the teas, she was not a fan of the funny smell of coffee.

Went to this store with some friends from the Netherlands. I had my 3 year old son with me and to keep him entertained while my friends shopped he and I were smelling the different teas and coffees. Unfortunately an obviously stressed member of staff who had been rushing around stopped to tell me to stop doing that "Because those are for customers". Sad that in this day and age a store can be so non-family friendly.

Really nice staff. Great Tea. Interesting displays. We bought a cup of the 2017 1st Flush Darjeeling and it was amazing

Small store, but varied. It is possible to find several of the products in supermarkets and at a very good price

This store is a curiosity. It is very narrow, all in length. The Twinings brand is one of the oldest names in tea merchants. Probably even the oldest. You have to drop by this store if you are nearby.

Has a nice balance of loose tea and tea bags for purchase.

Love this tea shop but they must brush up on their history: Gunpowder Tea and Waterloo!!!

A little gem in the less touristic streets of London. Taste and buy a massive selection of Twinings tea. A one of a kind place.

A good shop for tea but you'll definitely pay for it.

Nice staff, but the "museum" is basically inexistent and disappointing

Very Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good ambience.

What to say. The legendary twinings shop in London. Kind and welcoming. Tasting on site.
Shop a bit small.
See you next time!

Bellissimo e strettissimo negozio con assaggi gratis e personale super disponibile

Lovely little store for any tea and history lover. Lovely atmosphere with tea tasting and enough tea to buy.

Fantastic historical tea shop. Plenty to choose from. Tea tasting too. Well laid out. Fantastic treats to buy the tea lover as a gift from London. Highly recommended

I love tea. I mean, I love, love, love tea. I'm a tea-aholic, and always have been. Whenever I find myself in London, I have to visit The Strand shop. Staff is always helpful and if you fancy a cuppa, pick a tea and they will brew it for you, the proper way. Get in early because the shop is quite tiny (corridor-style) and gets easily crowded.

An essential destination for tea lovers, there are all the variations of you, including those that are not usually sold in their own countries. There is also the possibility of creating your own personalized blend, in addition to the possibility of visiting the museum.

Nice selection, friendly staff and 'try before you buy' service

There is huge variety of tea in all kind of price ranges. Staff is helpful and friendly and there is even possibility to taste some. Highly recommended!

I visited the Twinings Shop in August 2017. Its a lovely little shop with a great range of different kinds of tea ( black tea, green tea, and so on). The tea isn't that expensive and tastes wonderful! If I am able to visit London again I will definitely go back to this shop!
I would recommend this shop to everyone who is tea addicted.

The only flaw is the absence of tables to relax and taste the multitude of teas present.

Good place to people who like tea but there is no place to move if there a lot of people

A place that sells you an emotion .. possibility to try any tea and smell dozens, magical

A beautiful store that informs, demonstrates and emphasizes tea culture

Great tea shop. Possibility to buy many types of teas, as well as freshly brewed tea. Tea jars on the left shelves to check the smell.

I found the small tea museum interesting, with photos and vintage objects, placed at the bottom near the tasting area.

Poor service, bad manners, I bought 9 diferente teas to give as a gift. I needed 5 bags, the employee squeeze all my teas in 2 and refused to even sell me the 3 left!!!

Shop selling lovely teas from around the world. They sell single bags of exotic teas, so good if you need to pick some british tea up before going on holiday (I can't drink the tea they give you over seas).

The oldest shop in London, retains the charm of a long-established shop. A must for those who love tee and above all for those who want English tees and not the export tee that is in Italy. I also recommend genuine and authentic souvenirs from London.

This has been on my tea-lovers bucket list for ages, so it was a "must visit" place on our trip to London. The staff were lovely, we got to try their festive tea blend, and I came away with even more tea for my hoard!

Huge selection of Twinings tea, both loose leaf and teabags. Limited edition/seasonal tea and coffee gifts are also widely available. The history aspect of this little shop is certainly just as great as the products it carries. I'd say this is an essential place to visit for those visiting London, even for those who don't enjoy tea (this could change your mind!).

Lovely shop with the friendliest staff. They offer a tea tasting service to help you decide what you want and are very patient. I work nearby and get a 10% discount which is a lovely incentive. Great selection of teas in a wide range of prices and great customer service. Heaven for tea lovers!!
