House of Denna is a cafe in South East London owned by Denna.
A silversmith by trade, she wanted to open a cosy venue where people could come and take part in a variety of workshops while drinking a coffee and enjoying a slice of cake.
As this is a cafe, we ask you not to bring in external food and drink.
