I’m jumping back to our time spent in London last month since I was never able to get these images up, but I didn’t want to miss posting them! We had been in Italy for a few days with Luisaviaroma and our friends from London (remember from here and here). We were so excited about having a few days in their city before we flew home. Rose had mentioned we should do a picnic, and as someone who knows the best of the best in London, she didn’t disappoint with taking us to the beautiful Kenwood House for the afternoon.

Of course, Mr. Custard tagged along. I let him borrow my boater hat for the afternoon and I think it suits him pretty well, don’t you think?

We didn’t coordinate outfits, but it’s funny how we always end up complimenting each other. We did this three times while in Italy! I just love Rose’s eyelet dress. I wore my pink striped tee from Gap paired with this feminine skirt from Joie that’s currently on sale. The perfect picnic attire- easy and sweet. We were barefoot most of the day, but I wore my camel colored Ferragamo flats that I bought while in Florence. The color is so flattering with a tanned skin.

If you recognize the property, that’s because it was in the movie Notting Hill. Remember when Hugh Grant visits Julia Roberts while she’s filming the time piece? That’s Kenwood House. It’s absolutely stunning, with tall grass and lush trees everywhere. The sun had a beautiful glow and the birds were chirping all afternoon.

We had an absolute feast! We were armed with an extra large picnic basket from F&M. Luckily our men came ready to eat. Rose and I were most excited about chocolate cake for dessert, naturally.

Rose and Mr. Custard make me want a dog so bad. He’s just the sweetest, most adorable dog I’ve ever met. And he has such a personality!

Missing London already but we hope to go back later this year as it’s one of our favorite cities. If you’re planning a trip, visiting Kenwood House is definitely worth the trip. It was about a 30 minute uber from our hotel in South Kensington, but the property is big enough to stay for the whole afternoon. We obviously brought our own food, but they have a café in the garden that would be a lovely spot for lunch as well.

  2. This is literally the most perfect set of photos I’ve ever seen. Think you’re better at being British than I am! Kenwood is now on my list of places to visit next time I’m up in London.

  13. I just recently came across your blog and I have to say that both your blog and your photos are gorgeous and so dreamy.
    May I ask how you manage to shoot such beautiful photos? I have always been interested in photo but never really took any further steps to learn more about photography.

  76. these pictures are so beautiful, like something out of a movie. just something so peaceful and romantic about the imagery.

  89. There’s really nothing more cuter than two good friends spend a day having a picnic in the middle of a beautiful green field filled with such peace and serene. A moment to be cherished for a long time. :)

  100. Julia, I absolutely love these photos! They look like a picture from some old English film. You look fabulous in that cute outfit and the picnic you organized is so chic! I especially love your picnic basket. The bacdrop is stunning, too. I didn’t recognize it at first, but now I do. Notting Hill is one of my favourite films :) Thanks for sharing, London is just perfect!

  128. Beautiful photos indeed! It reminds me of enjoying the country-side in Romania. I fee like most of the time, we Californians, miss out on picnics and going to the park. We’re always at the beach or hiking up to get a better view of the beach! :)
    You should definitely get a dog. There are so many cute puppies waiting to be adopted at your local shelter. It would also make for an interesting post. Cheers!
