One of St-Leonards most beautiful rooms *

The story

Built around 1875, 79 Bohemia Road has been part of St Leonards’ independent retail history for well over a century.

Its beautiful Art Nouveau shopfront dates from around 1910, with original decorative tiles, stained glass and plaster work still surviving today, and the premises were once associated with the Mazawattee Tea Company before later becoming Feaist Bakers.

Now a Grade II listed building that still has all of its original features, down to the old baker’s block that we now use as our salon stations.
