Spring City Guide: London

In our opinion, spring is one of the most beautiful seasons of all. With the streets lined in blossom, and fields of lambs symbolising new life, a collective sense of hope is almost tangible in the air.

The pastel soft hues of Peggy Porschen have a sense of delicate sophistication, through pops of bolder shades seen in its plants, which create an inviting colour combination.

Its architecture holds unprecedented beauty, and its myriad of shops and eateries exude warmth in the spring through fresh flowers, brightly iced cakes and one-off installations dotted around the city.
