The Living Room Soho in City of London, Westminster

Stumbled across this tiny café tucked down a small alley as we were wandering around. My partner mentioned she had heard about their scones. As we were just in the mood for tea and a snack, it seemed like a good choice. Everything was perfectly fine. The space is small and cozy, and not full at all so we got a lovely seat near the window. The tea was good, and the scones were also good. They seemed a bit dry and they weren't warmed up, so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Nice cream. Cappuccino was average. A bit too watery and big for me, but others may like it like that. But overall, it was essentially exactly what we were in the mood for. A Quiet spot with scones and tea. Not expensive, not fancy. Just right. The barista was kind and warm, and it seems like a nice local spot with regulars. I'd pop in for a scone and tea, if you're in the neighbourhood.

Hidden in Soho but definitely worth a visit when in London!

Excellent scones, friendly and kind owner! Perfect for an afternoon tea!

Cute little place where you can enjoy a nice and good tea in the afternoon

Hidden place among the alleys of Soho, a true pearl of London. Delicious tea and scones and very friendly staff. Super recommended

A hidden gem! Very nice coffee and scones.

I simply adored this café!! Their scones and coffee are amazing and the staff is more than sweet. I’ll definitely come back!

Lovely cozy atmosphere, nice and quiet, great to have drink away from the hustle and bustle of London. We had coffee, tea, scones and a toasted sandwich which were all delicious. The lady serving us was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Fantastic coffee, tea and most of all the scones! Oh the scones.... Service was fantastic. Shop owner kept shop open an extra 15mins to allow us to enjoy the offerings and it didnt disappoint! Recommend.

We didn’t want to leave London without trying some afternoon tea and scones. This place was nearby our rented apartment and it turned out to be a delightful discovery. The moment we stepped inside we felt like we’d stepped back in time. It’s decorated with a wall of old books, other antiques, and is lit with soft lamplight. It was just what we were hoping for—quilter, cozy, charming, relaxing and friendly. We had delicious teas, and the scones, cream and jam were delicious. What a gem!

We loved our stop at the living room. The atmosphere is so cozy and we enjoyed our conversation with the owner who obviously runs this cafe with all his heart. The scone were absolutely delicious, the cappuccino and latte were all right and the price-performance-ratio is unique for London. We look very forward returning to this lovely place.

No frills. Perfect place to sit down and have a cup of tea with scones.

The most comfortable coffee shop these days! Appropriately friendly 👍 I ordered a latte, and it was the first time a store owner asked me what kind of milk I wanted 😂👍 Great! Also tell me where to go shopping nearby! Feel comfortable!

Beautiful and calm place. I felt immediately welcome and at home. Thank you 😊

Really loved this little tea room hidden in a narrow street in Soho. The owner was more than lovely and the scones were even better than promised. The Green Tea Latte was my as sweet as everywhere else and delicious. Would definitely come again and saved it for the next London trip.

It is a charming gentleman who welcomes us to his Living Room Tea. The Scones are very good and served with cheese on toast and fresh jam (to use or not according to your wish). The decor is perfect if you want an old-fashioned, English experience. I highly recommend stopping by here.

Another great discovery to end our mother-daughter stay. Perfectly cozy place in a small alley

Great scones and very friendly owner!

Great little cafe and tea house! Has wifi and plug ins if you need to work, or just a great atmosphere if you want one !

Excellent. Very good place to have the classic English tea with scones, which were delicious. The service was very friendly, the atmosphere and decoration of the place was super nice and the prices were great. 10/10. Highly recommended

Good scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam; toasties very good. Teas are great too. A real sweet English tea room. Good price-performance ratio. A very nice and friendly owner and pleasant music. Absolute recommendation!

The scones are very delicious, and the tea is served beautifully. Even though it is downtown, it is located in a slightly remote alley, so it is quiet and has a nice atmosphere. I like having tea and scones by myself.

Excellent flat white and oat chai latte. Perfect for getting out if the rain and warming up on a cold Feb afternoon.

Went to this cafe as Google maps said it was open, but it wasn't.

Absolutely wonderful! Would definitely recommend and visit again. Victoria sponge was delicious, and atmosphere was super cute and cozy

Tea, scone, and friendly service - all wonderful. A special little unexpected moment for us. Thank you.

Closed despite the opening hours announced (nov. 2023). Moreover it looked like non operating since long.

The best scones and latte. A cafe for people who want to relax in a quiet cafe like locals. The space is cozy and the music plays well. The barista wearing a nice beret was really kind. The first cafe I visited in England was very successful. I will come back for sure if I have a chance before I go home.

Kleines und charmantes Café mit ansprechendem Ambiente. Leckerer Tee und Scones. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Délicieux gâteaux et gérant très serviable

The staff are incredibly kind people

Ducked in on a cold day - exactly what I needed. Good cup of coffee and able to do some work at a table while watching the world go by. I love the character of this place - wooden tables and old books, and the gentleman working couldn't have been nicer. I think finally I've found my little London Oasis.

Tasty scones, tea, and coffee in a quiet place inside Soho. The owner is a nice guy.

Extremely peaceful and friendly

Great coffee and food. On top of that a very friendly host, truly a living room.

We had a hot chocolate, a lemon cake, and a carrot cake. It was delicious, and the place was very quiet and cozy, well decorated. We felt like home, and the owner was very friendly !

Petit café au calme dans Soho. Décoration très chill. Accueil sympa et café très bon. Choix de pâtisseries locales. Un très bon moment

Gorgeous little coffee shop away from the business of Soho. Lovely old English vibe. Barista is so friendly, and made a fabulous turmeric latte. Will definitely be back!

As already said here, I confirm that the place is now permanently closed. Visited in late July 2023 and found a closed door when place should be opened. Google, please update your files.

繁華商業區的寧靜一角，食物和咖啡都很不錯。 環境非常乾淨，老闆在你坐下前會再幫你清潔一次桌面（本來已經很乾淨了）。牆上和架子上的裝飾很有心思，老闆一邊調咖啡會一邊哼歌，挑選的音樂很棒，整體非常good vibe，令人內心也跟著平靜下來。位置有點隱蔽，但值得一來！

Very good chocolate and scones!

I just want to have some warm scone in london and I finally found here! The scone is warm and delicious also tea was excellent. I really want to go back sometime.

Great place, very cosy, and calm in the middle of Soho. Super friendly staff. Clean toilets. Would definitely recommend the place for a nice afternoon break

Sehr urige Teestube, leckere Pancakes und Scones. Super freundlicher Besitzer. Ein Tipp für alle, die durch Soho kommen und authentischen Tee lieben.

Great Tea and scones. Honest prices, charming atmosphere, owner is incredibly kind and welcoming.

Bei einem Bummel durch Soho kamen wir im "Living Room" auch aufgrund vorheriger Bewertungen bei Google vorbei. Man fühlt sich im Cafe wie zu Hause. Es ist sehr gemütlich, da es in einer ruhigen Nebenstrasse liegt. Der Service ist sehr gut, fast schon familiär. Man kommt schnell ins Gespräch. Zu Essen hat wir klassische Scones mit Tee. Alles einwandfrei. Preisleistungsverhältnis isr sehr günstig. Würde wieder vorbeischauen, wenn ich in der Gegend bin.

No better place than this cute little shop to try their homemade scones with cream and strawberry jam. I went in the afternoon to have the afternoon English tea and cake experience, and I was very satisfied. The scones were warm, fluffy, infused with raisins and I also got a carrot cake which was one of the best I ever tried and a warm cup of Earl Gray tea with it. The place has such a cool vibe to it as if you are sitting in your grandmother's living room, hence it's name, I absolutely loved it. The gentleman there was super friendly, I assume he was the owner of the place

Sehr sympathischer Herr hinter dem Tresen, der eine ganz beruhigende Atmosphäre in dieser trubeligen Stadt schafft. Sehr leckerer Kaffee!

Hervorragender Tea Room mit sehr gemütlicher Atmosphäre und sehr leckerem Angebot an landestypischen Speisen und Tee

Great place to have your afternoon tee or coffee with delicious classic Victoria sponge cake or carrot cake. Both cakes were great. The place was super quiet and charming. Furthermore, all staff members were super nice with us.

Rien de tel pour se poser après une journée en ville.

I love the smell of this place, is leather and old book, plus of course coffee! Great service from a friendly man, will go back for sure

Found the Living Room on line and what a lovely experience for tea and sandwich. The Gentleman was welcoming, friendly and chatty. There were no menu on the day we went so had to chat to find out what was on. Pop in if you have an hour to sit and relax. Would go back.

Amazing place, nice atmosphere and cheap prices.

Great coffee shop with a great vibe.

Sehr süßer Ort ind gemütliches Ambiente

Awesome service and the best hot chocolates in London. So good I had two. Also had a nice toasty from here. Friendly clean and helpful staff.

This place was cute and the tea was comforting. Loved the cozy atmosphere and the employees are welcoming and friendly. Definitely will be back when I visit London!

The bloke (whom I assume to be the proprietor) is a proper gent, very kind and chatting and helping an elderly customer. Prices are very cheap for this part of London (all coffees under £3). Refreshing

Great coffee and friendly staff, warm and welcoming

Lovely Place to share a coffe or tea

Great place for coffee and food, and also especially if you are looking for great conversations. This place values the customer's experience over profits. Would highly recommend

Spent a lovely lunch here with Zachary Quinto. I really liked him as Spock. Shame about the stalker taking our photo afterwards.

Lovely tea room, very cozy atmosphere with friendly staff

Delightful tea shop in the heart of Soho. Lovely staff and very reasonably priced

She forgot my order of only a cappuccino😣😣

Coffee was really good, but atmosphere was even better. Very friendly people.

One of the nicest people who has attended us in London. Was delicious and the guy who took our order was super kind and nice to us. Very good tea and delicious scone. The local vibe is top.

it's one of the best, warmest, most principled cafes in London, Soho I ever saw living there 20y+. Forever regular. If you go to anywhere in London - this and Selfridges ;).

Great coffee, cosy place, great atmosphere and music! An almost magical spot in the heart of soho! Definì recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 5 stars!!!!!

My favourite cafe in London. Full of locals and good chat.

Wonderful and super-friendly place! Very warm inviting atmosphere and extremely nice people. Will be back for sure :)

Delicious coffee & nice barista

This place is permanently closed

Lovely atmosphere and great people!!

A friendly getaway! Everyone was really nice, the energy of the place was comforting and a great place to run from the busy life in London!

This is for the CAMDEN branch. I really loved this cafe, the atmosphere is nice and the staff are always polite but the company since being open have had serious issues with their nonexsistent WiFi and have never cared to get it sorted out. Every time they always say they will get it sorted but don’t. I’m aware they have a better connection that operates for staff but not for customers. They are fully aware that it is a place where people come to work and yet they don’t really care about their customer in that respect. Is a shame because you end up going to places like Starbucks or costa to spend your money.

One of my favourite escapes in Soho... Lovely staff, chilled environment and great music! It's a sanctuary in the madness of Soho.

Un lieu exceptionnel avec un très bon état d'esprit et une bonne éthique. Un très bon thé avec un service qui fait vivre la communauté de Soho. Un must dans le quartier.

I work in Soho and managed to not discover this lovely cafe until recently. I'm over the moon that I have found this wonderful place. It takes you away from the very busy crowds of people and the place is really charming. Stylish yet very warm decor and the menu is just superb - really good homemade options and the staff are so friendly. It had a real village feel to it and the music is good too :) My sandwich and cake were delightful and it was worth the effort to find this place to avoid the mass sandwiches from commercial chains. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this tea home, it's worth the carbs, promise.

Absolutely charming cafe with one of the best nutty carrot cake slices I've ever had. Would highly recommend for a quick refuel.

Beautiful place and very good cakes!

Very nice little tea salon. good music. Good carrot cake. tea and herbal tea are good as well. Nothing fancy just an enjoyable atmosphere

Very nice old fashioned tea shop in the heart of Soho. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing and the staff is really friendly. The cookies are amazing (well, I don't eat sugar, but everyone else was praising them) and the prices are affordable (in fact, is cheaper than anywhere else in the area).

Lovely quiet and cosy find with friendly staff and a homely feel. Has WiFi and plug sockets too!

Friendly and unusual cafe in the heart of Soho. Cheaper than anywhere else, with very friendly staff.

Super cute place and really friendly staff. Also quite cheap.

Excellent customer service and peaceful ambient

Just a lovely old fashioned tea shop that seems to be church subsidised & run, so both affordable and calming.

El ambiente es súper bueno, tranquilo y uno puede tomar un te, café o algo de comer, no es costoso y lo bueno es que se puede conocer gente nueva y si no sabes ingles también hacen clases gratis para los extranjeros.

The ham and cheese sandwich was exceptional!! The musical performances were excellent too.

The shop looks really nice, so I ordered a take away coffee...but it was really bad, like really bad....

Very nice place. Quiet and peaceful when I visited.

A lovely little cafe which has just had a well deserved face lift, it's all about cosy comfort and simple but tasty food. The sandwiches and home made cakes are executed well and for the excellent prices you'll definitely leave feeling full, satisfied and as though it were money well spent. While it's not the biggest place in the Soho area for a catch up with friends, it's roomy enough to hide away from the busy streets surrounding it and take a well earned break.

Great food! Great service! Having met here for afternoon tea and drinks we were pleasantly surprised to find a busy lively atmosphere. We ordered drinks and food which all arrived promptly and with a smile! Good quality food, served well and with attention to detail. Recommended with a smile and an honest heart.
