To the Spanish steps... And then to Babington's tea room...". So Benjamin Placido wrote in his Preface to the edition of the book "Babington's - 100 years", published in 1993 in honor of the centennial of the opening of the tearoom in Rome.
Babington''s was opened by two English ladies in 1893, when tea could only be found in pharmacies. In 1893, thirty years unmarried English woman and her girlfriend arrived in Rome with one hundred pounds, to open a case suitable for a young lady. Their first tea room was located on the via due Macelli and was so successful that he soon opened another in Piazza di San Pietro. The next year he vacated the present building on the square of Spain — previously, it housed the Palace stables and as it was in the heart of the English Rome, the best place was to find. Miss Babington and miss Cargill took the Japanese room rugs and in the main hall placed in the middle of the palm. The tea was gas lighting.
