A tea room is a variety of café found particularly in England, but also present in other parts of the UK, as well as Australia, India, New Zealand, and some other Commonwealth countries. A visitor might expect to receive a cream tea, often served from a china set, and a scone with jam and clotted cream.
The phrase tearoom is also slang within homosexual subculture referring to a venue where public sex occurs, typically a public restroom. Sociologist Laud Humphries has written a controversial book on this subject titled Tearoom trade: Impersonal sex in public places, which is often referenced in the context of ethics due to his nonstandard research techniques. See also Glory hole.
