"Why do I love London? It's beautiful, it's dynamic, it's diverse, it's busy. I can find fantastic materials, designs and inspiration from the gardens, the buildings, the people. For my work, in London I can do a small courtyard project on a low budget and get the best out of it and make my clients happy; but I can also do a slick project for a multi-million pound house which looks incredible. And it has a long growing season!"
