When in London, try tea and cakes at Bea’s, near the British Museum in Bloomsbury, an area made famous by Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster and the rest of the Bloomsbury group. Sweet Tea is £9.90 ($17) per person — which for London is incredibly cheap — and includes a proper scone, clotted cream and jam, one of Bea’s signature cupcakes, a mini Valrhona brownie, a mini Belgian Blondie and a mini meringue. Plus, of course, a pot of Jing tea. Online reservations only. www.beasofbloomsbury.com
