About

Step into Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium, and you’ll find yourself in a whimsical wonderland where time slows down, tea is poured generously, and cats rule the roost.

London’s first-ever cat café is more than just a charming escape—it’s a safe haven for rescue cats, giving them the care and comfort they deserve while they lounge, play, and sometimes, curl up on your lap for a snooze.

The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about feline welfare. ​

The café operates on a booking system, offering 90-minute sessions (£16.99) or hourly visits (£13.99), where guests can sip on loose-leaf teas, frothy coffees, and nibble on sweet or savoury treats.

For those looking to indulge, the ‘Cream Tea with Cats’ experience (from £24.50+) pairs fluffy scones, clotted cream, and jam with a side of purring companionship.

They also have a free-rolling menu that means you can order anything that catches your eye, from decadent cakes to hearty sandwiches. And yes—you can pet the cats (as long as they’re in the mood for it, of course).

‘‘A wonderful place with such amazing cats! They are all happy, healthy and cute. Some like to snooze, eat or play. You get a generous hour and a half to sit and eat or drink and watch as they pass you by.

Lovely, friendly staff.

I just cannot believe some of these negative reviews from stupid people who expect this to be some sort of cat circus! Have respect for them and they will come and play with you in their OWN time!!’’
