Secret tea room.







In the pouring rain last week we found shelter in the most beautiful hidden tea room. A very secret tea room. Head to Soho, locate the Coach and Horses pub, tell the bar man you are looking for the tea room, climb a winding stair case and then you're in! We shared a couple of teapots full of rose-bud tea and even had the whole place to ourselves. It really was an absolute delight.

    I love these sorts of places but sadly not many exist anymore. But finding one is truly magical and I never want to leave. Those scones look amazing

    Kate! I walk past this every day at the moment. I saw the blackboard outside and wanted to go in but had reservations as the pub is a bit rank and i thought it might be a tourist thing, but thanks for the nudge! Might pop in on my way home tonight.

    Great blog and lovely pics.

    The grown up equivalent of the day my uncle showed me the 'secret' garden he'd found behind a wall(the unexpectedly best part of his new home). x

    A-ma-zing! I have just read about a secret cocktail bar in Soho at Seeds and Stitches, and now this! Can it get any better? In Norfolk this weekend, but when I am back, I am heading there.

    That looks like such an amazing place... and to have it all to yourself! Bliss :) It's making me want a scone at 11-ishpm though which seems wrong ;)

    p.s. updated link to your fab pic. I hadn't seen a link to you on the tumblr... was the sign a real sign in the bookshop or set-up?

    I had bookmarked and am finally actually planning a trip to the UK (this summer,hooray) and was extra excited when I realised not only is there the tea room but the pub below is all vegetarian. A Vego pub! So keen.
