Sad but true… Long-standing repository of all things Anglophile, The Tudor House market and tea room will be closing in about 4 weeks.  After receiving a tip from a reader about the imminent closure, I talked to an employee who confirmed the tragic news.  It seems that after 20 years in the same location at 1403 2nd Street in Santa Monica, and 50 years total, the purveyor of British food and condiments, as well as tea room will be letting their lease expire in about two months.  The owners tried valiantly to find a buyer to take over the establishment and preserve it, but none were forthcoming.  It looks like a new “Spanish” restaurant will eventually be taking over the space, and employees are fleeing to the new upcoming outpost of The King’s Head in the Valley, Studio City to be exact with a (fingers crossed) opening in June.  End of an era.  thetudorhouse.com.
