DINING: APT
New concept APT offers the chance to get together with friends and family in an apartment at the Town Hall Hotel, where a leading chef will create a bespoke menu for up to ten guests. A new way of getting together in a safe yet stylish environment, the concept is simple: guests select a date and then choose from a huge range of big-name chefs, including Claude Bosi, Skye Gyngell and Selin Kiazim, who will cook up a feast on the day. A great way to support the hospitality industry.

SERVICE: Window Fleur
Window Fleur was created by cousins Joe and Frannie, who design window boxes to make your home as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. The boxes come pre-planted, ready to put into your window box and easy to refresh every season, so your windows are always bursting with colour. The beautiful blooms will be delivered straight to your door, four times a year.

CERAMICS: Kaneko Kohyo
Kaneko Kohyo Pottery Manufacturing Co celebrates its centennial in 2020. Originally Japan’s largest producer of tokkuri sake serving bottles, it now makes ceramics that mix beauty and functionality. Among its current collection, we love its scalloped Rinka dining range, which offers the delicacy of porcelain but with the feel and warmth of hand-formed clay.

NIGHTWEAR: Sarah Brown London
Sexy though the brand's lingerie is, it's Sarah Brown London's cutesy pyjama sets that have caught our eye this month. With a poplin finish, frill collar and trimmings, they're the perfect summer sleepwear – we particularly love pale blue styles with red details.
