The Prince, West Brompton
The Prince is the crown jewel in West London's pub scene. Restored from a faded Victorian pub into a bright and beautiful destination, The Prince is home to three large bars, three restaurants and a beautiful floral beer garden, complete with a retractable roof to let the sunshine in and keep the rain out as required.
A well-loved institution, it's known as the go-to spot for after work drinks, romantic dates and large celebrations. Saturday night at The Prince is a one-of-a-kind evening.
May All Your Skies Be Blue by Fíona Scarlett
From the author of the beloved debut Boys Don't Cry - an unforgettable story of love and loss and how the ones we love never really leave us.
He's leaning in. I'm leaning in. 'The future is ours to make, Shauns,' he says, lips almost touching.
Summer, 1991.
Dean: sun-stung and sticky with cool ice-pop juice, walks to the middle of The Green to get a good gawk at the new salon. And at the owner's kid. Hands deep in his pockets, his jet-black mop of hair hides the tension in his face and shoulders at the thought of going back home.
Shauna: stands well hid behind her ma - her eyes dark and haunted like the rest of her. The salon is theirs, a fresh start. The smell of her ma's Body Shop perfume clings to her jumper - Shauna can't be anywhere else other than here.
Instantly inseparable, their friendship blooms. But as time passes and tell-tale blushes and school fights develop into something deeper, conflicting responsibilities threaten to pull Shauna and Dean apart.
When all seems lost, will they find each other under the same blue sky?
