......Picture..28........

28...One of the very few pictures to survive of the inside of a between-wars teashop. The picture is taken about 1920. The teashop is situated on the corner of 321 Oxford Street and Dering Street, it opened in January 1907. Its code was X4 and it closed in December 1966. The cast iron framed tables with their marble tops were discontinued soon after this picture was taken as they were found to be too heavy to move for floor cleaning.
