The Common Room

And that’s a wrap! We have loved welcoming you all to The Common Room, but like all good things it has now to come to an end.

 

We conjured up our signature scones, apparated in beautiful biskies and served up wonderfully wizardly bakes over the years, but now our magical Afternoon Tea is taking a break from our Soho store.

 

Watch this space as we build our next immersive experience for you in our downstairs nook and in the meantime, why not book our popular ‘muggle’ afternoon tea upstairs in to curb those crafty cravings?
