Dormer windows on the nineteenth century Beehive Coffee Tavern in Streatham, South London

---

The Beehive Coffee Tavern was built in 1878 at the instigation of the Revd Stenton Eardley vicar of the nearby Immanuel Church. It was intended as a place where people could meet and enjoy non-alcoholic refreshment. He was a champion of the Temperance movement who often built adjacent to successful public houses (in this case the Pied Bull - which has outlasted the coffee tavern!) in a direct attempt to provide an alternative attraction. The building is Grade II* listed.
