of London’s major trans-
port hubs the area remains
almost impossible to navigate, thanks
largely to the groaning chaos of a multi-
lane gyratory system. Quite apart from
the infrastructure, many other factors
contribute to the district’s distinctly
disorientating feel.
Yet despite the traffic, the daunting
network of run-down back alleys and
unkempt public spaces, average prices
here hover around the £850,000 mark
for a two-bedroom flat, according to
research by Estates Gazette.

In 2019, Transport for London plans to
start work on doing away with the hated
gyratory system in favour of two-way
roads, with more cycle and pedestrian
crossings and the removal of the exist-

holds for the area, nicknamed “VoHo”,

The Bogliones knew some of the right people,
and in 1997, during an afternoon watching the
cricket with Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, heard
that Petersham House, the grand old Georgian
17th-century mansion, was for sale. They bought
it and moved in with their four young children.
Soon afterwards, they discovered that the old
garden nursery next to their property was also
for sale. “We did not want anyone to come in
and build at the bottom of our garden, so we
bought it,” explains Francesco.
They knew nothing about running a garden
centre but they grew lovely flowers at the old
nursery and when they had too many, they sold
them. Petersham Nurseries was born, and grew
into a lush, bohemian, idiosyncratic green
