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.

'THW abandon the energy price cap'

FREE entry and open to all

In the last week, almost a million people have woken up to discover their energy supplier, on whom they rely on for the gas and electricity that keep their homes lit and warm, has gone bust, forcing them to seek out a new (and most likely more expensive) supplier with literally no notice.

The failing companies, we are told, have folded because of the price cap introduced in 2019 to prevent consumers from being extorted by energy suppliers charging forever rising prices. As the wholesale cost of energy has gone up, the suppliers have had to absorb those costs when once they would have simply passed them on to their customers in the form of higher prices.

If this is true, it leaves the following options: remove the price cap and allow energy suppliers to pass on those high costs again before they go bust; subsidise those companies with tax-payer money to keep prices below the cap AND keep the suppliers in business; or just re-nationalise energy suppliers as previous Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, had pledged to do.
