Have you heard the buzz around Ladbroke Hall? The arts space and dining destination opened late last year, offering a laissez-faire alternative to stuffy gallery spaces. The brains behind it are business partners Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail, founders of Carpenters Workshop Gallery, so named after their sort-of humble beginnings in a former carpenter's studio in Chelsea.
Ladbroke Hall is now the flagship venue for their brand of design elevated to art - with more than a soupçon of Gallic flair. Built in 1903 as a car factory and showroom for Sunbeam Talbot Motor Company, the Grade II-listed Beaux Arts-style building underwent a £30 million renovation and conversion at the hands of Avanti Architects.
Art lovers can peruse the exhibition programme, enjoy an Italian menu at chef Emanuele Pollini's eponymous restaurant designed by Vincenzo De Cotiis Architects, or kick back in the bar for Friday night jazz sessions.
With spring well and truly here, Ladbroke Hall is launching an outdoor offering in the form of a garden designed by the highly regarded Tuscan-born, London-based landscape designer Luciano Giubbilei.
