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.

The Vauxhall Band - Basset Horn Trio

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

The Vauxhall Band return to the Tea House Theatre in September.

The Vauxhall Band Basset Horn Trio perform basset horn, clarinet and chalumeaux works by W.A. Mozart, Georg Druschetzky, Vojtěch Nudera, Christoph Graupner and James Waterson,

A wooden, single reed wind instrument, closely related to the clarinet, the basset horn was mostly heard in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Austria and Germany, with historical evidence dating the earliest known instruments to the 1760’s.

When Czech musicians Messrs Dworschak, David and Springer first came to London in 1791 and performed at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens as a Basset Horn Trio, the instrument was relatively new to London. These mysterious and unusual sounding instruments with their colourful, earthy tones created great interest. The trio also performed in the Vauxhall Band on the clarinet.

The Vauxhall Band Basset Horn Trio will explore the repertoire that the original trio performed and the fascinating journey of the development of the instrument and its arrival into London.
