With spring soon around the corner, new openings and emerging spaces come to light. One that is undoubtedly in full bloom and a fresh player on the scene is the divine Linnaean. In its own words, “a domain that brings together three kingdoms: health, beauty, lifestyle”, underpinned by its core principles to facilitate its clientele to “nourish, adapt and grow”.
The establishment takes its name from Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus – famous for his contribution towards taxonomic rank, being the study and ranking of a relative level of a group of organisms, facilitated our understanding of who we are, and how as humans we fit in our surroundings and world around us.
Incorporating a lifestyle boutique, a health-minded café and a Medispa delivering the very best medically informed beauty treatments, Linnaean is pure indulgence. Vaunting an in-house salon where innovation its focus, whether that be an award-winning team or new colour technologies, outstanding hair services will sit with beauty, grooming, nailcare and other salon treatments.
Located south of The Thames in Ballymore’s now-iconic Embassy Gardens (yes, the development with the ‘floating sky pool’ – a first for London), nestled within the emerging Nine Elms neighbourhood, Linnaean’s positioning is beyond exciting.
The café is a smorgasbord of clean living and nutrition – think sumptuous brunches with fresh, organic ingredients at the forefront. In addition to lunch and dinner, Linnaean will also offer a selection of the finest wines from around the world to facilitate some alcohol indulgence.
A haven to London’s often extremities, the interiors are designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (MBDS). Responsible for the aesthetic behind iconic London haunts such as Annabel’s, Scott’s, Sexy Fish and The Ivy Collection, thanks go to that team for the abundance of hanging florals, period prints, dreamy pastels and muted hues. In brief, Linnaean is nothing short of spectacular.
“We hope to create a place where the neighbourhood can come together for a coffee, for a relaxing self-care afternoon and to one of the many events we look forward to hosting in the future”, says Linnaean.
