About Us
Town House is a gallery, shop and coffee shop that has been in an early eighteenth century building opposite Hawksmoor’s Christ Church in Spitalfields, for more than twenty years.
During that time, it has gradually changed from an antique shop to one that now sells a range of ceramics, both new and old, books, art and interesting antiques when I find them. We also have a coffee shop in an old kitchen selling home made cakes, including Queen cakes made from a recipe that’s the same date as the building.
We host regular exhibitions by contemporary artists in the gallery across the courtyard behind the shop: Doreen Fletcher, Chris Thompson, Eleanor Crow and Nicholas Borden have all exhibited here recently. And for two months in the summer we hold Town House Open featuring works by new and known artists.

In France for a few days in between exhibitions. Last of the dahlias, tubers now sitting upside down to dry, before storing over winter. Log fires in the evening and a good haul of walnuts from the tree we planted about six years ago. Feels like autumn
