A SCULPTURE of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams has been erected in Chelsea Embankment Gardens, near the site of his former home. Marcus Cornish’s work, which stands
across the road from 14 Cheyne Walk, was unveiled by John Gilhooly, chairman of the Royal Philharmonic Society, in the presence of members of the Royal Philharmonic Society, the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society, the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea council. Vaughan Williams lived at the-then 13
Cheyne Walk from 1905-1929 and had his studio on the fourth floor, where he wrote his Sea, London and Pastoral symphonies and The Lark Ascending, among other works.
JEREMY KING and Chris Corbin, the duo behind The Wolseley and Brasserie Zédel, are due to open their new restaurant, Colbert, in mid-October. The all-day café is at 50-52 Sloane Square, on the former site of Oriel, and has undergone substantial refurbishment. The new interior has been designed by David Collins Studio. Colbert is inspired by Parisian pavement
cafés and will have a menu spanning morning coffee through to lunchtime snacks and full dinner. It will be open Monday-Friday, 8am-12am, Saturday, 9am-12am, and Sunday, 9am-11pm.
