In this tranquil, south-facing garden by Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medalists a canopy of empress trees shades you from the sun, beds of aromatic herbs scent the air and clematis climb characterful courtyard walls. The vibrancy of London’s iconic South Bank feels a world away until you turn to see Renzo Piano’s shining masterpiece, The Shard, rising skyward and remember that this immaculate Georgian townhouse is first in line for the finer things in life.
In this tranquil main bedroom, forest green velvet and botanical prints create an earthy calm while flawless floorboards, cast iron radiators and furniture raised on turned wooden legs add period elegance. Original sash windows reveal early summer leaves on the capital’s signature tree, the London plane, while, just yards away, both Borough Market and the Thames are in full flow. Take a rainfall shower in an innovative bathroom of cork and copper porcelain.
Savour a slow start to the day in this bright kitchen with sunshine yellow Bisazza tiles, curved, white units and a state-of-the-art Rangemaster Elise 90. Wander, with coffee, to your south-facing sun room, painted a striking matte black, where industrial-inspired steel windows frame the thriving urban oasis below and trap heat for a flourishing crop of indoor plants. Settle into a sculptural club chair to compile a market list of epicurean delights from Borough’s stalls.
Return from the market with the finest food in London, in time to welcome loved ones around the dining room’s oval table, where patterned chairs, sculptural lighting and sweeping velvet curtains add a sense of occasion. Fill tortoise-shell tumblers and crystalware as diners feast and ponder where to begin their cultural explorations; with Tate Modern’s Picassos and Warhols, the world famous dome of St Paul’s Cathedral’s or one of the National Theatre's iconic stages.
As day fades behind the city skyline, gather in your walled garden for sundowners beneath a walkway of pollarded trees, on a bespoke outdoor sofa around a steel firepit and barbecue. Lanterns and candles illuminate this leafy sanctuary where heritage floor tiles and clay brick paths contrast with box hedges and herbaceous borders. Indulge your senses in this enviable spot where a flavourful fusion of art and design, fashion and gastronomy awaits you every day.
