As you know, the Cherry tree and the Cherry blossom season is particularly special for the Japanese. There are many beautiful Sakura (Cherry blossom) trees in Notting Hill too, and to celebrate this special season, we are holding an exhibition of Sakura watercolour paintings by Leah Wood at 120 Talbot Road, on 26th March from 2:00pm to 8:00pm.
