How did a yurt appear in the middle of Notting Hill? Melt’s founder Louise Nason and her family used to holiday in a yurt every summer. Inspired by its beauty, the practicality of being able to move it around, and the ability to be right on nature’s doorstep, they would go find a field in the middle of the countryside and set it up for the summer.

Many years later, her husband Andrew Nason, who now runs the company, decided to bring the yurt experience to Melt. Remembering the incredible memories and sensation of living in a yurt, he decided to gift that experience to the residents of Notting Hill. The idea is to transport you from the busy streets of London to another realm – somewhere wilder, calmer and more comforting.

The Yurt is placed in the back garden of their Ledbury road shop, and takes up the entire space! You walk straight out of the shop and straight into the Yurt.
