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.

Musical - Melody

MELODY

'Poignant, funny, painful, uplifting and deeply human'... 'Amazing storytelling'... 'A really compelling piece of theatre'

Melody Smart is the friendly face of the Ocean View Hotel, always there at Reception with a breezy smile and a solution to every problem.

She finds joy in the little things—a buttered digestive and a pot of tea, an interesting article in the Radio Times. When she wins a free singing lesson in the hotel raffle, Melody looks forward to learning how to sing. But during the course of her free hour with Evangeline Gibson, Melody’s carefully constructed personality begins to unravel, and we discover the secrets and lies behind the ‘Have a Nice Day!’.

Two performers, with the help of a keyboard and a couple of chairs, create a world of characters in Melody’s past and present in this 75-minute musical by Nia Williams.

Staged by Three Chairs and a Hat, who nabbed 4-star reviews for their work at Edinburgh in 2019, ‘Melody’ has already received wonderful reviews at regional theatres, and rounds off a short London tour at the Tea House Theatre before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe in August.
