Urban Tea Rooms has taken a new 10 year lease expiring September 2022, for the ground floor and basement premises comprising 866 sq ft. The unit was formerly let to Ramen Seto.
Urban Tea Rooms will launch a quality, organic tea shop and cafe, selling British produce including artisan sandwiches, hand?made cakes, salads and soups, Fairtrade teas and artisan coffee. All produce is sourced from Red Tractor Assured farms in Kent, Sussex, the Cotswolds and North Yorkshire. The look and feel of the concept is described as a country kitchen, mixed with urban cool.

Urban Tea Rooms really complements Carnabys fabulous array of vibrant one-off independent leisure offers. They join the recently signed artisan espresso brand Mozzino, which has just opened a new contemporary lifestyle concept inspired by 1950s Italian scootering on Broadwick Street.
