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.

The Sun Never Sets…

By trust the process

What is it to be British, to celebrate our great empire? I’m struggling to understand how doing just that has me fighting for my job. All I have are the voices in my head to help wade through the mud of a disciplinary minefield. So I need you to come on over and lend me some good old British pluck. It’s just me and those voices for company, but I’ll liven things up with the odd Great War song, just as Grandfather used to, and with a little luck I’ll both save my job and come to understand how celebrating the contribution of our empire could be so wrong.

Written and performed by Antony Woodruffe, directed by Albert Warner
