It’s all too easy to think that the only shopping experience Hammersmith in West London has to offer is Westfield, Europe’s largest shopping centre. However, those tired of endless highstreet brands and chain coffee shops also have a reason to head there: Betty Blythe Fine Food Pantry.
Named after Betty Blythe, a silent movie star and one of Hollywood’s earliest sex symbols, the little cafe with its Twenties-style waitresses is a haven of originality, great food and community spirit.
With plenty of home-made cakes and sandwiches on offer, including delicious afternoon tea with freshly baked scons, cucumber sandwiches and truffle chocolate brownies, Betty Blyhte is the perfect place to relax and indulge.
If you fancy, you can even enjoy their handmade goodies without leaving your home by ordering one of their hampers. The “I’d love you for Breakfast” one is delivered right to your door bringing you fresh croissants and juice, fresh bread and everything for a great cooked breakfast, from eggs, bacon or smoked salmon for £45.00, perfect for Valentine’s!
For Hammersmith locals, or those who don’t mind to head out West, Betty Blythe has some fantastic events on offer from mums and toddler music sessions, to kid’s tea parties, where your little ones can raid the dressing up box and learn new skills such as jewellery making.
The Betty Blythe Society – open to any one who fancies an inspirational evening of talks – meets regularly to share skills and listen to speakers discuss topics ranging from crafts to etiquette.
