About This Spot

Stepping into The Living Room Soho is like finding a quiet corner in the heart of bustling London, where time slows just enough to savor a simple, comforting pause. Tucked away down a narrow alley, this snug hideaway welcomes you with a softness rarely found in the city’s frantic pace. The air hums low with gentle conversation, the scent of freshly brewed tea mingling comfortably with warm baked treats.

The atmosphere feels intimate and unhurried, a place where the outside world fades softly behind the hum of thoughtful hospitality. It’s a spot designed for those who appreciate the quiet joy of slow moments, whether nestling into a window seat to watch Soho’s rhythm or sharing a warm conversation with the unobtrusively welcoming owner. This is no grand café, but a carefully crafted nook where every detail—from the cozy corners to the inviting clotted cream—feels deliberately chosen to cradle your experience.

Here, tea time turns into a gentle ritual. The loose-leaf blends carry subtle notes that invite you to linger, while the accompanying pastries—scones with clotted cream or a slice of velvety Victoria sponge—are companions as much as treats. These flavors don’t shout but instead offer a quiet delight that makes you want to return, carrying the same warmth from the moment you arrive.

The Living Room Soho isn’t about spectacle. It’s about the understated pleasure of connections: between a welcoming smile, a carefully poured cup, and the soft crunch of a freshly baked scone. It’s a refuge for travelers and locals alike who seek a pause, a small kindness, and the feeling of being quietly seen within the city’s lively pulse.

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.

We had a tasty scones with clotted cream and jam. Warm, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The loose teas were also excellent. Joseph was professional and friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Thank you - don’t change a thing!

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 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

What a wonderful tea/coffee shop in central London. Hidden down a narrow side street. Excellent tea and service from friendly staff. Comfortable seats and relaxing atmosphere. And the chocolate cake was one of the best ever. They also have language classes during the week.

A really cozy and cute cafe with kind owners and delicious scones! I will definitely be coming back when I’m back in town
