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.

  9. 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.

    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?

  32. 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.
