My oh my, such a disappointment. We booked afternoon tea, months in advance, as is necessary…read more Here's what we learned. This is what could reasonably termed an "experience", but it fails on every point. Service is lackadaisical( difficult to see how they justify the service charge). The food looks pretty, but isn't very special in terms of taste or presentation ( probably not helped by the fact it has to be carried in from a separate building), and was served on a ridiculous cake stand/vase that effectively conceals your dining companion. Crockery is cheap looking and charmless. The price difference between the plain tea and the version with a single glass of Cremant ( served, disappointingly, in a warm glass) is £15 ( 45 versus 60). It's easy to buy an entire bottle for that, at retail prices. God help you if it rains ( you'll be dripped on- the greenhouse is not weatherproof). Don't bother, especially if you're paying.

The Nurseries is one of those gems that you don't want to share with everyone ;))) It's only open…read morein the sunny days of the year and it's because it's hidden in the old glass house of the Nurseries garden center. Old & disparate furniture is scattered around, directly on the nude earth floor and in between large pots of green & colorful plants. Beautiful flowers are set on each table. It's like a picturesque scene of Alice in Wonderland. You feel like a little kid entering a magical wild world, where birds talk and nature is alive. It's all very comfortable and cute. And on a sunny warm day, it's the ideal getaway for lunch. The menu is small but fresh and seasonal. Vegetables seem to be at the center of many dishes. And fish was quite predominant when I was there. Everything sounds delicious and it definitively is! They well deserve their 1-star michelin. I had the squid to start with and it was super nice!!! I'm usually not a big fan but the squid was very well cooked (quite soft), on a yummy piece of bread and in a very tasty sauce. Then I had the halibut. The fish was cooked to perfection, very moist and the mayonnaise was mouthwatering :P For desserts, we shared the rice pudding and the chocolate tart. To die for. Both of them. Point. The staff is friendly and fast. So all good there. If you want to spoil your better half, this is the perfect summer romantic spot. The gardens are a nice little after-lunch discovery too. And if you feel really chilled out, you can sit next to the fountain and profit from the sun rays. Or just roll out into the fields around and have a lazy rest in the green grass of Richmond park.

My advice is to go to Muji when you have a little bit of free time, because you'll want to stay for at least a half an hour!

A feast for the eyes, this part home decor, flower shop, and gift shop is a real treat to walk through. And in the middle of Covent Garden a breath of fresh air. Lovely table displays show off beautiful flowers while garden goods are laced with french soaps. A sort of French provancal meets the English country garden of decor. Next door is a deli and flower shop also very pretty and fanciful. I can see Instagramers and bloggers hanging out here regularly with their entourage of photographers and stylists capturing that 'casual' cup of coffee while the rest of us sit back and smell the roses.

Ugh. I wanted to love it since the Richmond restaurant will forever be special and high quality but…read moreCovent Garden location was seriously bad. No one greeted us for well over 7 min so went to La Giocca to get help. The bar inside Petershsm is all style, no substance. Staff pretty but not a clue how to treat customers to a NORMAL service. Music is too loud. The tea service is all style w/out the fundamental basics of a tea strainer that fits the oversize cup so you get tea leaves in tea. Bar tender waitress all smiles but no advice on tea, not a clue. Irritating back and forth on ordering food where I went to bar to order, had to repeat it twice only to be told she would come to the table. Lady, I already told you twice! Out of my seat! Didn't have a clue what arancini is and it's on the menu. Took her 10 min to get to us and it want busy. Flagged her down to remind we never got water. Upon paying the nice bar tender was approached by a staff waiter who yelled at him for not finishing showing him something. AT OUR TABLE. Didn't need to see/hear this. I know of you pay peanuts you get monkeys but thought Petersham would be above reproach. Never giving this place my money again and now I feel jaded about the Richmond restaurant. Sad days!

For those of you who don't know this is a company that makes adorable tat that appeals to teenage girls and ridiculous women like me who insist of super cute nonsense in their homes. These guys only sell wholesale and I have never seen a collection like this in a shop. We are talking appliqued pirate bunting and hand painted Russian Doll photo pegs, white bird cages with stuck on flowers and butterflies. If you are looking for a new baby gift they have brilliant kiddies room decoration stuff, and as for stocking fillers, well this place is ideal. Nothing is more than £20 and some start from as little as £2.95 so you can really go nuts if you wanted to. As I have mentioned before I have happy places in London, this is one of them.

Recently however, I've had a revelation and I am now growing not one, but six (!) different herbs. Although off-put occassionally by rouge squirrels having a nosey, last weekend I successfully grew them to the height that repotting was required. Not up for treking out to one of the mega gardening centres, I was very pleased to discover that only 10 minutes walk away was the beautiful North One! This little garden centre is small but perfectly formed. As well as stock a range of pot plants and herbs, they have every type of seed, soil, pot and cane imaginable. Prices are however, a bit more steep than you would get in one of the chains. I was a bit taken a back to discover that a cute purple bench, just big enough for two but no more was selling for £250. Needless to say I left that one to someone that might be feeling a bit more flash than myself! Now I've put my gardening kitty to use I can safety assure you that Mr Mint, Lord Thyme, Miss Chives, Sir Sage, Prof Parsely and Queen Rosemary are looking better than ever! Four terracotta pots, soil, plant food, and a few other bits and pieces came to around £35. Ok, it's a bit more than I wanted to pay but the whole day was lovely. No long commute. No chain garden centre. Just a lovely walk around Islington followed by a day of getting my hands dirty. Perfect!
