Garage grub just got a whole lot smarter, with Shrimpy's diner at King's Cross Filling Station. Expect American-style burgers alongside calamari with black olive caviar, served up in the sparkling glass shell of a disused petrol station, from the people who brought us Bistroteque. 020-8880 6111, shrimpys.co.uk
Happy feet
Summer is not a good time for men's footwear. Thankfully, Clarks have come up with a snappy range of desert boots for boys and girls, including this corduroy Desert Jaguar. A splendid alternative to sandals and socks. £89, clarksoriginals.com

Add a splash of colour to your living room with a playful wooden perch from Ineke Hans' forthcoming Welland collection. If you fancy going all out, why not add the bench, stool, and table, too? From £189, scp.co.uk
