TEA (2012)

For three days in June, the communal lounge at Dora House for over-55s was transformed into a glorious temporary tea room and opened its doors to the public.

Tea is a dreamlike event inspired by memories of afternoon teas throughout the years. Over two months this Summer, the tenants of Dora House in West London worked with a group of young chefs, sharing memories and trying out recipes for the cakes, pastries, scones and sandwiches they grew up with to create the perfect afternoon tea.

​Tea was conceived in a collaboration between Geraldine Pilgrim and Complicite Creative Learning in association with Central and Cecil. It was recently awarded the National Housing Federation’s Community Impact Award 2012.
