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.

Don't Go Into The Cellar! - Dissecting Dr Crippen

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

Dare to face a ghoulish audience with one of the most notorious poisoners in British history—Hawley Harvey Crippen.

Step into the shadows and listen as this murderous man of medicine tells his own chilling tale. As the diabolical doctor draws you into his confession, one question haunts the night: was he truly guilty, or the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice?

If he was innocent, whose remains lay hidden in the cellar of his Hilldrop Crescent home—and what dark fate befell his wife, Cora? Jonathan Goodwin embodies Crippen in this gripping new production, written by Goodwin and co-directed with Gary Archer.

Jonathan Goodwin is one of the winners of The Hamilton Deane Award from The Dracula Society (former winners include Mark Gatiss and Benedict Cumberbatch).

Show Only £25

Dinner & Show £60

Dinner Theatre from 7pm, email your meal choices to info@teahousetheatre.co.uk
