Calling all fashionistas: a London-based womenswear brand loved by influencers and A-listers alike has opened its second store in the capital. Famous for its edgy and feminine 00s and 90s ‘brit-girl’ designs, Peachy Den is one of those labels that’s particularly massive ont’ internet, and from today (April 2), fans of the cult-favourite brand can shop in its very central new location. Entrepreneur Isabella Weatherby founded Peachy Den roughly six years ago, and since then the business has gone from strength to strength. It’s taken London’s Y2K clothes warriors by storm, and has even accumulated a star-studded fanbase (Dua Lipa, Olivia Dean, Zoe Kravitz, and Chicken Shop Date’s Amelia Dimoldenberg are just a few of the many celebs who’ve been pictured wearing the brand).  Plus, Peachy Den has been making giant amounts of sales. Its first permanent location in Shoreditch, which opened in July 2024, raked in seven-figure revenues in the last year alone. The label’s new flagship is on Brewer Street in Soho.  Photograph: Zaineb Abelque & Genevieve Lutkin   Anyone familiar with the brand will know that its extremely chic clobber, which includes anything from checkered capris to funky blouses, is pretty high in price, in exchange for high quality. Tops cost around £80 while trousers can set you back more than £100.  Lots of Peachy Den collections, including the super-duper low-waisted collection that immediately went viral after dropping in February, are limited to a one-time rele

When you think of Cornwall, surfing, pasties and picturesque coastal paths probably come to mind. But what you might not know is that the southwestern county is also famous for its charming hedges. Made using stone and grass, ‘Cornish hedging’ is an ancient craft that dates back 4,000 years. Now a huge labyrinth made entirely of the stuff has finally been completed, and as well as boasting great views of a famous lake, it’s free to access. The labyrinth is called Kerdroya, a Cornish word which translates to ‘castle of turnings’, and it measures in at a vast 56 metres wide. Commissioned to celebrate the county’s 60 years as a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, creator Will Coleman wanted to pay tribute to one of Cornwall’s many traditions - and it was quite the labour of love. The 750m long spiral of hand-laid hedging took a whopping seven years and 140,000 locally sourced stones to finish.  Built just in front of Colliford Lake (the largest in Cornwall) and the AONB Bodmin Moor, the labyrinth boasts panoramic views which visitors can see from a viewing platform in the centre.  Photograph: Jack Roberts One thousands volunteers and 5,000 schoolchildren lent a hand in building Kerdroya, which is being hailed as a masterpiece. The project has preserved an important bit of history, too, having trained 150 people in the ‘endangered’ craft of hedge-making.  If, for some reason, Kerdroya seems like an ideal place to walk a dog, you’ll be pleased to know that the attract

Walthamstow’s one of those east London spots that has a bit of everything: wetlands, a bustling street market, a criminally underrated library. But if you’re partial to an exhibition you might’ve noticed that, for a few years now, the town has been without one of its greatest museums: Vestry House.  Luckily that won’t be the case for too much longer. After shutting its doors years ago for a revamp, the museum celebrating all things ‘Stow will reopen later this year. The Grade II-listed Walthamstow Village museum will begin welcoming visitors again in autumn 2026.  The museum, which displays Waltham Forest's colourful cultural history – not to mention Britain's first ever petrol-fuelled car – closed for renovation in December 2023. The refurb has been funded by £4.5 million’s worth of government investment.  Soon the facelift will be complete – and the revamped house has various new bells and whistles. Of these are five new exhibition rooms, which will host various never-before-seen displays on anything from the borough’s contributions to theatre, music, cinema, and sport, to its connections to the transatlantic slave trade. Award-winning architects Studio Weave are behind the overall revamp, which also includes a brand-new room for temporary exhibitions conceived by exhibition designers GuM studio.
