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.

Kemp's Jig - An Elizabethan Roadshow

  • Tea House Theatre 139 Vauxhall Walk London, SE11 5HL United Kingdom (map)

Blue Fire Theatre Company returns to the Tea House Theatre with a long awaited show Kemp’s Jig.

In 1599 (or 1600 depending on which calendar one uses), Will Kemp, superstar of the European stage and chief clown of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men fell out with the playwright and fellow company shareholder William Shakespeare, resigned his shares and as any high-profile personality might do, staged an event.

To celebrate Twelfth Night, come back in time to 1600 and meet Will Kemp, champion morris dancer, international celebrity and Shakespeare's clown.
The creator of Launcelot Gobbo, Dogberry and other Shakespearean comic characters has just left the Globe Theatre (did he jump or was he pushed?) and is setting off on a publicity stunt to cash in on his fame. He is about to morris dance 125 miles from London to Norwich and would love you to accompany him en route.

Join us on the highways and byways of Elizabethan England and witness Will's adventures on the road; we'll even throw in a bit of bear baiting and a hanging for good measure!

Show Only £15

Dinner & Show £40

Group of 6 £75

Group of 6 & Dinner £200
