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.

Paper Tiger Poetry

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

Paper Tiger Poetry returns!

Every last Friday of the month except for August and December.

An evening of future poets and open mic hosted by Jason Why MC.

Paper Tiger Poetry is set to deliver another unforgettable night on Friday 27th March, bringing its trademark mix of warmth, wit, and wild creativity back to the Tea House Theatre. The room will fill with familiar faces, first‑timers, and everyone in between — all ready to share in an evening where poetry feels alive, unpredictable, and wonderfully human. Sign‑up for the open mic starts at 6:30pm, and as always, the stage will be open to every kind of voice: polished performers, nervous newcomers, storytellers, ranters, comedians, and anyone brave enough to step up and speak. Expect big laughs, surprising moments, and that unmistakable Paper Tiger buzz — the kind of atmosphere that turns a simple open mic into a community. A night of words, warmth, and welcome is on the way.
