February, London: cold, grey and rainy, so let’s put the kettle on, take the Royal Doulton out and make ourselves a nice cuppa! To warm up our winter days, Blue Badge Guide Muriel Carré from LearnArtory invites you to discover the world of tea at the V&A.

This exotic beverage full of virtues and medicinal properties arrived in England with the Restoration under the rein of King Charles II. We will follow its adventures throughout the centuries thanks to the beautiful objects in the V&A collection that celebrate the dégustation of our national drink.

Meeting place: Inside Cromwell Road entrance, next to the information desk under the Chihuly chandelier.
