This is a must if you are in the area. My wife loves tea and loved the shop and also the Masterclass. London is the place to experience tea, go here.

When we visited they had a number of teas ready to sample including a cold brew that was fizzy. They also can freshly steep any tea you would like to try before you buy. They have all kinds of loose leaf teas that are very good and they have the tea bags available too. They sell tins of loose leaf, boxes of tea bags and you can even mix and match tea bags starting at 3.75 pounds. Some of their loose leaf boxes are quite pricey and they get tea leaves from all over the world. They have some interactive displays about their tea masters and how they ethically source their tea. Twinings has a royal business license and has had one for over 300 years so you can see the royal emblem on the storefront outside. They also offer a masterclass for tea making but it has to be pre-booked.

My son and I stopped in to purchase tea for my wife and daughter. Rose was very helpful and informative in assisting us to pick the right tea based on their tastes. She also provided us with a couple of tasting samples that helped explain the flavors and blends. I suggest taking extra time when visiting the store to learn and experience "the tea"

I have been to Twinings on The Strand many times over the years when visiting London. This last visit was the best! The staff were so helpful and friendly. They brewed tea for me (in addition to the tea already available) so I could try before buying. Everyone was so nice. Twinings is my favorite brand of tea. The different blends are fantastic! The tea is so refreshing. Of course, Their Earl Grey is iconic and still my #1 favorite of all time. I ended up buying more than intended, but it was worth it!

Absolutely embarrassing, thought I would be showing my friends a shop full of interesting products. Instead it was very very small, undistinguished and not worth going to. Go to Herrods and look at all the different products.

Twining's grand store is located in the Strand close to where Fleet Street begins. It does not have a very large shop front but it is quite an ornate, grand front. The store is not wide but it is long and as you enter there are shelves on either side with so many different varieties of teas to buy. There are some really nice presentation gift boxes. There are boxes of tea that you can buy of specific blends as well as varieties of blends in a box and some of these are very reasonably priced at £3.50 for 20 tea bags. The staff in the shop are available to assist if you need them and there are also displays on the walls about the history of the company and the current people in the organisation.

The flagship Twinings store - if you are a tea lover, it is a must-visit. For the size of the store, the variety is huge. More than 10 people in the store and it is crowded. Unfortunately the tasting area was full when we were there but able to come away with some flavors we did not see back in the States.

Came in here to see the historic Twinings location and buy some gifts. The tea samples were delicious and all the staff were lovely. Special shoutout to your young Canadian employee (whose name I've forgotten) but she was great to talk to and gave some great tea recommendations.

Had a horrible time, came before closing and was told nonsense about tasting teas when we were the only ones in store and there was 15 mins left till closing! I brought friends from America and the server told them to come back another day rather than just booking the kettle and serving another tea since we came all the way and the store was still open and EMPTY! This used to be my favorite shop I'll never come here again the service was terrible and would recommend the servers get retrained in customer service! Such a shame they're one of the only shops to offer a tasting of all their teas but I'd suggest not wasting your time the service was trash!

Walking in the area we came across the very interesting narrow frontage tea shop. We went in for a look and saw all the different teas on display and the history notices explained the story behind some of them . Also we learnt about the founder Thomas Twining who set the business up in 1706 on this same site so been here a day or two. Always a good cup of tea Twinings

A delightful little shop with an abundance of tea varieties and tastings. The staff were helpful and polite. Would highly recommend this shop.

Twinings Tea shop was established in 1706 by Thomas Twining. He purchased the Tom’s Coffeehouse behind this shop. He turned it into the quaintest historic shop in London. You can find it on Fleet Street at the Strand end. The first thing you will notice is the emblem above the door. It depicts a golden lion and two Chinese figures, which represent the start of the journey of tea. There is also a Royal Warrant erected on the facade of the building. This shop has had Royal patronage since Queen Victoria’s time. The first Royal Warrant was issued in 1837 and since then each and every British Monarch has given it the seal of approval. This shop has it’s own secret blends like the Earl Grey, Darjeeling and Lady Grey. It also offers special editions and a wellness range. Besides tea you can also purchase confectionery items in this shop with a stunning display. I really loved the charm, elegance and colonial feel of this historic shop.

We made a stop here while visiting London and stocked up on all things tea. I think I pretty much got one of everything! They had so many unique sounding flavors and I really like the cold infusion ones that you put in cold water instead of hot. The shop is long and narrow which makes it a bit of a challenge to get out when it gets busy and you have multiple bags, but it was worth the stop!

Liked the historical display and wish there was a little bit more! The types of tea you could choose were organized nicely, and there was a good variety of teas represented that you could taste.

It’s ok, just a shop full of tea stuff, unless you signed up for a class. Interesting history yo the place but we were done with it inside five minutes.
