Town House

Town House at The Kensington has a new afternoon tea. Following the success of its ‘Tale As Old As Time’ Beauty & The Beast-inspired offering, its new ‘London Landmarks’ tea takes inspiration from the capital’s most recognisable and historic buildings, taking diners on an edible tour along the way. Tributes include architectural triumphs such as the Gherkin – crafted from white chocolate and dark chocolate ganache – and the Shard, made of carrot cake and milk chocolate. The iconic London telephone box is reimagined in rhubarb mousse and there’s also a Big Ben-inspired lemon curd tart. Traditional English tea and scones will complete the line-up.

Baby To Love

Baby To Love is a French brand offering innovative and clever products for babies to make life easier for parents. The company offers original, innovative and on-trend baby products, split into six collections: ‘Meals’, ‘On the go’, ‘Care’, ‘Teethers’, ‘Baby's Room’ and ‘Play’. Each product is designed and developed in France by a team of baby professionals, who always focus on the quality and safety of the products. We love the Portable Pocket Chairs, a fun and stylish chair harness which can be used at home and on the go. This is an ultra-portable space-saving alternative to a bulky high chair, suitable for toddlers that can sit up, aged 6-36 months. The product folds into itself like a sock to form a small travel bag which fits snugly in handbags.

Bloom & Blossom

Bloom & Blossom’s hard work paid off when Space.NK launched the brand nationwide in 2010. Since then the business has gone from strength to strength and it is now stocked in John Lewis, Liberty, Mamas and Papas and JoJo Maman Bebe. We must say, we’re rather taken with the brand’s latest product. To make hand washing fun, Bloom & Blossom has teamed up with the Roald Dahl Story Company to create a range of hand washes celebrating some of the most well-loved Roald Dahl characters. Aside from the fun packaging, everything in the soaps is natural and free from nasties.
