Babingtons tearooms, Rome est 1893

If you are thinking of visiting Rome do make time to visit Babingtons tearooms, situated at the foot of the famous Spanish steps, in the Piazza di Spagna, there couldn't be a more special place to take time out from sightseeing and enjoy a cup of tea and refreshments.

Opened by Anna Maria Babington and Isabel Cargill in 1893 and still family run today,  the interior and many pieces of decor and furniture date back to that period. Recently Everything stops for Tea was fortunate enough to supply Victorian teaware in keeping with Babingtons long held traditions. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to help select suitable pieces and they have already been put to good use!

So if you are lucky enough to be visiting Rome make a special journey to Babingtons and step back in time - into a real Victorian tearoom.
