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.

Marie Lloyd Stole My Life - Blue Fire Theatre Company

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

Blue Fire Theatre Company returns with Marie Lloyd Stole My Life.

“The Boy I love Is Up In The Gallery, and I can’T even GeT a seaT In The crowd”

Meet Nelly Power, child prodigy and a star at the age of 15. Male impersonator, soubrette and headliner at all the major theatres, Nelly was a force to be reckoned with in an era where theatre was one of the very few areas where women could be properly independent.

Whilst the suffragists are protesting on the streets outside, Nelly makes her own protest against the status quo inside the theatres and music halls by making fun of the men who are all-powerful in wider society.

Using songs made popular in the music halls of the 19th & early 20th century, Blue Fire Theatre Company take their audience back to the 1880’s to view the social history of the period through the eyes of one woman who just happened to be a star of popular entertainment.

Expect tales of female emancipation, divorce laws and the great inequalities and double standards of life in Victorian England, all viewed through the subversive lens of Music Hall. All together now....
