Summary[edit]

Description Twinings shop at 216 Strand, London. Thomas Twining (1675-1741) founded the House of Twining by purchasing the original "Tom's Coffee House" at the back of the site at the Strand in 1706, where he introduced tea. In 1717, he opened the "Golden Lyon" there as a shop to sell tea and coffee. In 1787 his grandson Richard Twining (1719-1824) built the handsome doorway incorporating his grandfather's "Golden Lyon" symbols with two Chinese figures. Twinings is believed to be the oldest company to have traded continuously at the same site with the same family since its foundation.
