As London grew rapidly in size, its population came to include more and more rough elements, and thus from the mid-18th century onwards, the coffee-houses, which had become haunts of people of doubtful repute, gradually fell from genteel favor. Tea-gardens, whose high prices ensured a more select clientele, rose up in their stead.
隨著倫敦的急劇擴張，都市人口日益複雜，十八世紀中葉之後，良莠不齊的咖啡屋於是逐漸凋零，以價制量的飲茶花園代之而起。
