THE BERKELEY COLLECTION

The Berkeley is inspired by one of the most charming of London's great squares - a graceful garden in the heart of elegant, bustling Mayfair. Originally laid out in the 18th century by Palladian master and landscape architect William Kent, Berkeley Square has particular resonance for Backes and Strauss; its great plane trees, among the oldest in London, were planted in 1789, the year the company started trading. It has since become a famously romantic spot, known for the song, 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'.
