Welcome to Utopia's Best of British issue flying the flag for stalwarts of Britishness: craftsmanship, quality and heritage. Our Real homes section starting on page 25 reveals three very different projects all sporting exquisite kitchens and made here in the UK. Bespoke luxury starts on page 74 and explores what is possible when money is no object and a kitchen is made exclusively for you. As you would expect, roll tops, high-level cisterns and wooden loo seats all play a role this month and in The classics beginning on page 94 they parade their timeless style. The Brits starting on page 87 evokes the best of Britain to make your schemes, well, what else but great? And turn to page 102 for Tastefully traditional our round-up of taps and accessories oozing classic charm. Known the world over for our wonderful gardens whether formal style box hedging or riotous multi-coloured blooms, turn to page 43 for Style file this month entitled Floral dance and this spring's trend for all things botanical to bring your home alive. And no British issue would be complete without range cookers, that heat as well as cook - turn to page 68 for Hot property.
