Taking its name from the Hookah pipe (also known as a shisha), this is one of London's most popular tea rooms. There's a tipple for every taste from fresh teas to fantastic cocktails (the Sultan's Tipple is recommended) and amazing home made food. The atmosphere is super laid back with friendly and beautiful looking staff setting the laid back vibe. Comfy, low down Morroccan style sofas offer the perfect place to chill out - though be warned: the staff can be a little too chilled out on occasion and it's usually pretty packed on a Friday or Saturday so these factors combined mean you may need to be patient while your tea is brewed.
