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.

Theatre Programme Biography

Manthe Penton Harrap Born in Africa’s Highveld savanna, Manthe was raised on a cattle ranch celebrated for its wildlife safaris and ancient San rock art. After being educated in Harare, Zimbabwe, and Hampshire, England, she trained at the Actors’ Theatre School under the late Eamonn Jones and completed her LAMDA examinations. As an experienced public speaker, actress, and short-film performer who split her work across Harare and London, her notable television credits include Channel 4's The Perfect Pitch and BBC Two's Modern Times: Welcome to Mayfair. It was on the latter that she shared her signature philosophy: “One should add a bit of sparkle to the world.” Her community work led to her appointment as the Ambassador to Mayfair—a role she launched with the dual honours of turning on the Christmas lights and performing a ceremonial sabrage. Now residing in Fitzrovia with Sebastian, her faithful 36-year-old Green Amazon parrot, Manthe is delighted to make her Shakespearean debut in Thursday’s performance.
