Shipp's Tearooms was a tea shop in Borough Market. It closed for good in June 2008 after it was [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/3359 ordered to cease trading] by the Borough Market trustees. As of mid-2009, the space is occupied by an Italian cafe/deli known as Best Italian; see [http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/638402 Chowhound thread].
 Shipp's Tearooms are located on Park Street at [[Borough Market]], between Monmouth and Neal's Yard Dairy, next to the [[Market Porter, SE1 9AA|Market Porter]].

 The atmosphere is really nice and the decor makes you feel like you're in a doll house. Each table, linen, teapot, flower bucket, cup, and maybe even chair and spoon is different from the others.

Sadly, the shop is no longer allowed to sell food or drinks due to an issue with the Market lease. The place is still open though, selling porcelains and other tea-time related accessories which is a bit sad considering how nice it was.

The place was fairly busy when Katrien and [[Aurelien]] visited (around 4:30pm on a Friday), but they got a table straight away. People seem to spend a lot of time over their tea, and turnover was low. It's supposed to close at 5:30pm on weekdays, but we've been able to stay until 6:15pm without feeling in the way.
