WELCOME TO THE TEA HOUSE THEATRE

An independent tea house, theatre and events venue in the heart of Vauxhall.

Housed in a beautiful Victorian former pub beside the historic Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, the Tea House Theatre is a place to eat, drink, meet, work, relax and be entertained.

By day, settle in for exceptional loose-leaf tea, hearty breakfasts, proper sandwiches, homemade cakes and freshly prepared food. By night, the Tea House comes alive with theatre, live music, jazz, poetry, murder mysteries and special events throughout the year.

We are trying to be different. We will not hurry you. If you visit us on your lunch break, then have one — take your time, enjoy your food and go back to work properly refreshed. If you want to have a meeting, we will leave you to it. If you are “working from home”, we have Wi-Fi and plenty of space to settle in.

If you have children, we have highchairs, a chest of toys and milkshakes. We always have the daily papers, so please relax, take a load off and share in what we are trying to create.

There is no rush, no corporate formula and — famously — no coffee. Just good tea, good food, conversation, creativity and a wonderfully individual atmosphere.

Come for breakfast or lunch, spend an afternoon over a pot of tea, join us for dinner and a show, or simply come in and have a cuppa.

Musical - Melody

MELODY

'Poignant, funny, painful, uplifting and deeply human'... 'Amazing storytelling'... 'A really compelling piece of theatre'

Melody Smart is the friendly face of the Ocean View Hotel, always there at Reception with a breezy smile and a solution to every problem.

She finds joy in the little things—a buttered digestive and a pot of tea, an interesting article in the Radio Times. When she wins a free singing lesson in the hotel raffle, Melody looks forward to learning how to sing. But during the course of her free hour with Evangeline Gibson, Melody’s carefully constructed personality begins to unravel, and we discover the secrets and lies behind the ‘Have a Nice Day!’.

Two performers, with the help of a keyboard and a couple of chairs, create a world of characters in Melody’s past and present in this 75-minute musical by Nia Williams.

Staged by Three Chairs and a Hat, who nabbed 4-star reviews for their work at Edinburgh in 2019, ‘Melody’ has already received wonderful reviews at regional theatres, and rounds off a short London tour at the Tea House Theatre before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe in August.
