EDITORS COMMENTS
10 Old Compton Street, Soho, London: A Glance into the Past at P Lombardy's Pattisserie Tea Rooms (circa 1910s) Step back in time with this postcard image of P Lombardy's Pattisserie Tea Rooms, located at 10 Old Compton Street in the heart of London's vibrant Soho district. Dating back to the early 1900s, this charming establishment was a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The photograph, taken around the 1910s, showcases the exterior of the tea rooms, adorned with a beautiful moon and star sign above the entrance. The Huguenot influence is evident in the half-timbered facade, a nod to the French heritage of the historic quarter. The window display is an enticing feast for the eyes, with an array of mouth-watering treats on offer. Ice creams and sorbets are proudly displayed, their colors a delightful contrast against the cool, dark tones of the shopfront. The intricate detailing of the sign, with its delicate script and ornate moon and star symbol, adds an air of elegance and sophistication. The Pattisserie Tea Rooms were a cherished part of the Old Compton Street community, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere where friends could meet, families could gather, and weary travelers could rest and refuel. The bustling energy of Soho outside gave way to a tranquil oasis inside, where the aroma of freshly baked pastries and the sound of lively conversation filled the air. This postcard is a precious reminder of a bygone era, inviting us to take a moment to appreciate the rich history and character of London's Soho district.
