Petersham Nurseries
Quick! Before the sun completely disappears - you have to find a reason to go to the Petersham Nurseries Cafe. It's quite simply the perfect place for eating delicious (Michelin starred) food as well as enjoying an afternoon tea or equally spending hours admiring the plants and flowers. I have to admit, the day I went, it was pouring with rain...but that actually didn't matter. Proof that the Great British weather can't ruin everything!
The Walls of the café are adorned by Indian paintings, whilst the mismatched wooden furniture is quite charming and sits comfortably alongside the terracotta pots.
The abundance of greenery together with the use of wood, glass and clay, makes this a marvellous restaurant in a delightful setting.

"Architecture cannot save the world, but it can set a good example...”
Alvar Aalto, Finnish Designer & Architect, once said “architecture cannot save the world, but it can set a good example...” What a magnificent statement. Nature provides such beauty. If man is going to build, it might as well be inspiring, functional and beautiful, inside and out!
Some of my favourite Aalto pieces:
