ABOUT IMAGES  
AlbionThis Shoreditch caff, bakery and small shop is the first venture by Terence Conran since he sold his restaurant empire - Quaglino's, Orrery and the rest - to D & D. Teaming up with his wife, Vicki, and their former operations director, Peter Prescott, Conran has come back with Boundary, a former warehouse building with two restaurants, hotel rooms and a rooftop bar overlooking the Barbican with views of Canary Wharf and The Gherkin. This ground floor caff offers simple British dishes like Welsh rabbit and Irish stew which can be eaten on the tractor seat stools or outside at the pavement tables. In the adjacent shop you'll find equally British food and drink, with Prestat chocolate alongside fruit and veg grown at Barton Court, Terence Conran's own Berkshire home.
