"The Victoria & Albert Museum holds the title of the oldest museum café in the world! It might be one of the most stunning cafés that I have ever seen. Opened in 1856, it continues to serve visitors today, just as it did when it was originally known as the "refreshment room," offering coffee, salads, and sandwiches during museum hours. The Garden Café, located at the heart of the museum, is perfect for those craving lighter bites. It’s also a fantastic spot for people-watching, and on a sunny summer day, you can watch children happily splashing in the sparkling water. "
