Being as I am somewhat obsessed with the UK and Ireland, I used to take tea once a week at 4:00pm at a friend's apartment during college. I think 6 or 7 of us would come. It was everything a silly romantic like me could hope for: sandwiches, tea, scones, jam, cakes...

There is a local tea parlor called the English Rose, run by several older British ladies. We like to go there when we can.
