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.
If you are interested in hearing about the exhibitions or workshops we host here, sign up to our mailing list, follow us on Instagram or visit us!

It’s impossible to imagine what this journey must have been like for an 18 year old in 1918, who was also profoundly deaf…
