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.

Jake Yapp's Cornershop Showdown

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

Welcome to Britain’s brightest new game show for 1976! Join Jake Yapp (BBC Radio 4, U&Dave, Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe) as he hosts a gleefully shambolic game show set in a 1970s corner shop where one lucky audience member could win a two-hour family holiday for four in North Luton, a Beautiful Porcelain Lady, and of course, FAGS GALORE. It’s a bit like watching an old episode of the Generation Game, only the host is only faintly masking crippling self-doubt, the assistant hates him, and the set is made of cardboard. Ok, it’s EXACTLY like the Generation Game. Expect a total unawareness of political correctness, barely-contained chaos, and a lot of cigarettes flying about.

What people say about Jake Yapp:

‘someone riffing about nothing at a million miles an hour as if their life genuinely depends on it’ - Stuart Heritage, The Guardian

‘clarity, intelligence, and brilliant comic instinct’ - Jamie P Robson, Broadway Baby

’Funny and smart in ways this paragraph cannot possibly convey’ - CHARLIE BROOKER
