    Paradise by Way of Kensal Green

    January 26, 2015

    On Saturday I popped into Fare Healthy, a health, food and fitness event held at Paradise by Way of Kensal Green. It was a collective approach to training body, mind and soul with talks and demonstrations from the leading ladies of the health food world – The Hemsley + Hemsley sisters, Ella Woodward and Natasha Corrett.

    I’ve heard the ladies speak before and own the Hemsley sisters book, which is a must. This week see’s the release of the much anticipated Deliciously Ella book which I’m looking forward to receiving.

    What is even more fascinating is the space that is Paradise by Way of Kensal Green. I first visited this space when I attended one of Ella Woodward’s supper clubs. That evening we stayed in the downstairs restaurant space. Yesterday saw every nook being used with activities, stands and demonstrations going on throughout the whole space. A bar, gastro pub restaurant, dance space, hip hangout, the eclectic décor in this shabby chic establishment is really worth the hype.

    You’ll find a plethora of larger and more intimate spaces, all rather dark and moody and here is a selection of some examples of decor.

    The detail to moody lighting is second to none here. Rather in love with this globe.

    Big, bold chandeliers adorn the staircase areas.

    A bit of glitter always works its magic.

    I took particular liking to these indian figurines hanging from the ceiling.

    There were many more interesting décor ideas around but the lack of light and massive amount of people swirling around the event made it quite impossible to take more photographs.

    If you’re thinking of holding an event or a party, this is definitely the place.
