From your question,I understand that you require a hot beverage to quench your thirst.
I would say "Wanna cup of tea,mate" and take you to the nearest Cafe,pronounced "caff".There's loads of great "caff's" all over London.I would also recommend that you have a sandwich or bread roll with your drink.A bacon sandwich,or "bacon butty",would be a good choice,along with a cooked sausage( a LARGE weener ) in a bread roll,which we refer to as " a dog roll "
Red ( tomato ) or brown ( who knows what's in it ),will be offered on each.
You place your order at the counter,the rest is table service.Tipping is NOT required in caffs :wink:
