At Bea's of Bloomsbury we've earned accolades for our afternoon tea crafted by our pastry chefs, despite working with a small and cozy space on Theobalds Road.  So when given the chance to really design a space where people can enjoy afternoon tea in a gorgeous setting next to St. Paul's  Cathedral, we couldn't pass it up.  Shortlisted in the Restaurant Bar and Design Awards and winner of Retail Week's best small shop design award, designed by Go Sugimoto, we created a space that is best enjoyed with friends. It's our interpretation of the modern tea room, where the focus is on foods and the fine company you are in.

We're also the best coffee around the block, serving  the world-renowned Square Mile coffee on our 3-group synesso, complete with our 'duffins' (doughnut muffins), breakfast treats, as well as our daily changing lunch menu.  It's the perfect break for city workers and local shoppers who are tired of the same old high street chains littering the area.

St.Paul’s private hire
The St. Paul’s venue is available for private hire and perfect for any occasion. With the capacity to hold up to 50 people it is perfect venue for your company’s Christmas party or that big birthday shindig you have wanted to organise for ages. You can enjoy a selection of the finest canapés, champagne afternoon tea or an amazing spread of seasonal salads and quiches.
