Replica of Fleabag’s guinea pig cafe opens in London and it’s everything we needed

Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag is being celebrated with a guinea pig cafe so we can bask in the glory of the BBC Three series now it’s gone forever.

Waterstones Picadilly has recreated the iconic hangout from the acclaimed comedy and packed it full with little treasures from the programme, including a replica of Godmother Olivia Colman’s gold sculpture.

There’s also a sign for Chatty Wednesday’s – the weekly event created by Fleabag for lonely people wanting to have a natter – as well as a picture of the character’s late friend Boo, who originally came up with the niche cafe idea.

It’s worth noting that the cafe isn’t actually fully-functioning, so you won’t be able to purchase a cheese sandwich at the eye-watering price of £12.50.

The incredible set has been built in line with the launch of the brand new book titled Fleabag: The Scriptures, which brings together the complete filming scripts of both seasons one and two, on top of never-seen-before stage directions and new writing from Phoebe herself.

But you’ll have to be fast if you want to visit the pop-up though, as it’s only hanging around until 6.30pm on Sunday 17th November.

Phoebe decided to keep Fleabag at two series, but has since provided us with a nugget of hope by saying she’d love to bring the show back when she’s 50.

It looks like we have a bit of time on our hands though, given that Phoebe is only 34-years-old.

Despite that, Andrew Scott aka Hot Priest has revealed he’d gladly return to the show no matter how long she waits.

Speaking to Digital Spy about the thought of rejoining the show in over a decade, the 42-year-old actor joked: ‘Oh, I’ll probably be dead.’

However, he continued: ‘But if I’m still alive, yeah. Listen, I’ll be there, whatever she wants me to do.’

Fleabag is available to stream on BBC iPlayer and Amazon Prime Video.
