Please browse the rest of our site if you have the time and we will see you soon.

We are based in an old Victorian public house that opened in 1886 on the site of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens; immortalised as the ‘Vanity Fair’ in Thackeray’s eponymous novel.

We serve some of the best loose leaf teas available, proper sandwiches and homemade cakes; not to mention the best full English breakfast in London. Our teas have individual subtle flavours which would be overpowered by the instant, coarse, hit of coffee, so we do not sell it.

We make our own marmalade and jams, all for sale by the jar and all our teas can be bought by the ounce online (to view our range click here). Our meat comes from our local butcher and our fruit and vegetables from the local market gardens around us.

We are trying to be different. We will not hurry you. If you visit us on your lunch break, then have one, you will be more productive in the afternoon. If you want to have a meeting, we will not disturb you. If you are ‘working from home’, we have wifi. If you have children, we have highchairs, a chest of toys, and milkshakes. We always have the daily papers, so please, relax, and share in what we are trying to create, take a load off, and have a cuppa.

Tea House Theatre was founded in July 2011 by owner and director Harry Iggulden. 
 

Our tea house by day transforms beautifully into a theatre by night, and we host a number of monthly events:

The Great Debaters Club
(first and third Wednesday of the month)

Words Away
(selected Mondays of the month)

Paper Tiger Poetry
(last Friday of the month)

SE11 Sessions
(last Saturday of the month)

Vauxhall Tuneless Choir
(second and fourth Wednesday of the month)

Please visit our What's On Page for exact dates of these and all upcoming events. 

In July 2020 we have opened our doors again as a completely brand new Tea House Theatre.

We have repainted walls, oiled the floors, put in a brand new counter and bookcase and of course the new, extended kitchen is making our chef very happy.

Have you noticed three bee hives at Tea House roof? Yes, now we have our own Tea House Honey which is available for you to buy and take home. We also serve our teas with our own Tea House Honey. Isn’t it amazing?!

Another great news are - that we have launched eTea! Which means that now you can order our loose leaf teas directly from us and get it delivered to your door at no delivery charge!

Working from home? Work from Tea House Theatre!

We know how depressing it can be when you’re stuck with your work everyday in the same room. Or how hard it is sometimes to get in the ‘work’ mood while being at home.

But don't worry, we’ve got you covered! We have a perfect spot right here for you, with speedy, unlimited free WiFi, a table right by the plug socket and what’s more exiting - we do a “Starving Artist” meal deal, where you get free Tomato & Basil Soup with the special of the day.

So pop in today to do some work, or reserve you spot by clicking on BOOK NOW or by calling us on 02072074585

We are dog friendly 🐾

Never leave your four legged friend behind. We love our furry friends.

We will make sure your pet will get a bottomless water bowl and a treat!

However, please bear in mind, we have two Theatre Cats. Black and white cat, Maggie, is our real boss and her brother Gladstone, sweet Gladstone. They are pretty cool with sharing their house, unless Maggie is in the mood to tease a pooch.
