The second floor (the “third floor” by American reckoning) holds two small exhibition galleries — one explaining the history of tea in North and South America, the other describing the many reported health benefits of tea drinking — but most of the area is given over to the museum’s conference facilities. Note also the Hawker Family Suite, an office used by the Hawkers, the benefactors of the museum. The suite plays a vital role in Dead as a Scone but is given a new purpose in The Final Crumpet.
