The Painted Lily

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Deal's conservation area, this studio is one for the artists. Belonging to Steve Thomas, who created Big Biba and was Sir Paul McCartney’s personal designer, the walls are adorned with Steve's work. Bold and inspiring, it's also cosy for a stay along Kent's coast. The beach and pier are only minutes away on foot, with The Royal St George's Golf Club a short drive from your front door. Though there is no garden, you can always sit out in front of the studio and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
