Petersham Nurseries has opened its doors on King Street in Covent Garden, bringing nature and elegance to the heart of London with a lifestyle, home and garden shop, delicatessen, wine cellar and florist; two restaurants and a bar will follow.

Bringing the garden back to Covent Garden, the family remains rooted to their blend of Italian and British culture, maintaining their passion for simplicity, ?ora, fauna and responsibly sourced produce.

The impressive Grade II listed building provides a fitting home for the new Shop, set beneath three majestic Victorian atriums and abundant with trees and verdant greenery. 

It offers handpicked collections of homeware, furniture and gifts including one-of-a-kind pieces and antiques through to handcrafted items; from chandeliers and Murano glassware to Italian hand-painted linen and cotton towels.

Staying true to Petersham Nurseries’ origins, the Shop is a green space with specialist indoor plants and magical floral displays sitting alongside artisanal gardening tools. With an emphasis on urban gardening and being mindful of smaller spaces in central London, the Shop provides inspiration for window boxes, indoor gardens and terrariums. A potting service prepares and plants window boxes and containers for customers to take away.

For the first time, a delicatessen is a part of the Petersham Nurseries offering. Recalling memories of an Italian alimentari, it brings the spirit of a traditional Italian grocery store to this elegant setting in central London while drawing inspiration from ingredients found in the Boglione family’s own larder and fridge. Also available is a selection of the best seasonal fruit and vegetables, some of which is provided by Haye Farm, owned by younger brother Harry Boglione which also supplies eggs to make fresh pasta daily. 

Petersham Cellar, founded by managing director Lara Boglione and husband Giovanni Mazzei of Marchesi Mazzei, offers an ever-evolving selection of carefully sourced and handpicked ?ne Italian wines.

The Florist captures the true essence of Petersham Nurseries offering dramatically wild, colourful, and romantic displays. Bespoke seasonal bouquets and posies are available in store or to order online. In line with Petersham Nurseries’ ethos, there is an emphasis on seasonal, British grown flowers and responsible sourcing.
