"There are restaurants that have a nice garden, and then there’s the café at Petersham Nurseries. Arguably the most charming restaurant in all of London and also the most likely to get commissioned for a remake of Anne of Green Gables, it’s set inside a giant greenhouse in Richmond that feels a million miles away from busy London. Yes, the seasonal Italian food here is expensive, but it’s also fantastic and worth splashing out on for a special occasion (see: reuniting with your favourite people on the planet). Turn the reunion meal into more of a day-trip with a wander around the nurseries before your meal, and follow it up with a stroll through Richmond Park." - heidi lauth beasley
