High Tea of Highgate

Home-baked lavender, chocolate butter cream and lemon drizzle cakes, along with teas galore and organic soft drinks, are only some of the delicious items on the menu at .
This gorgeous little tea room in Highgate Village, run by Georgina Worthington and her team of bright, young things, also doubles as a gallery/shop selling a range of kitchen related goods, including Staffordshire pottery cow milk jugs, brightly coloured teapots, and designer aprons.

It is the cakes, however, which will make you come back time and again, either to eat in or take away to enjoy at home. Refreshingly, there is not a cup cake in sight, just great, generous slices of sponge and fruit cake baked on the premises every day. As well as those already mentioned, regulars are chocolate orange, coffee and carrot cakes.

By way of accompaniment you can choose from 16 varieties of tea, three green teas and four herbal teas, hot chocolate with or without marshmallows, three types of coffee and Luscombe organic soft drinks such as blueberry and cranberry crush and elderflower bubbly.

A pot of tea for one and a slice of cake will set you back about £5.
If you fancy a cream tea, plain and cheese scones are also available, and if you would rather have something savoury, offers savoury tarts in a couple of varieties, served with a small side salad.

The tea room itself is bright and airy and there are tables and chairs in the small 'gallery' area as well as in the tiny garden at the back, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Located on Highgate High Street, is about 15 minutes' walk from either Highgate or Archway underground stations, both of which are on the Northern Line.
