Green Leaf Cafe

Open from 9am until 11pm every single day, this Whitechapel Road tea shop is a rarity in London — somewhere you can get a proper cup well into the evening. Its signature tea is poured in a south Asian style, "a taste of East in a cup" as the motto goes, with freshly sourced ingredients and prices kept deliberately affordable. Whether you dine in or take away, a 4.7 rating from 193 reviews suggests plenty of people already do.
