Whittard of Chelsea
Whittard of Chelsea is a British chain of shops selling coffee, tea and related products.
The company was started by Walter Whittard, who opened a tea shop in Fleet Street in 1886, and remained in his family until 1973. In 1996 it was floated on the Alternative Investment Market, and used some of the proceeds of the float to expand rapidly, building a chain of about 120 shops and several tea rooms
