El pop-up hotel de Louis Vuitton en Londres es mucho más que un espacio efímero: es una lección de interiorismo, narrativa de marca y diseño estratégico. En este vídeo analizamos cómo cada decisión espacial en Mayfair construye una experiencia inmersiva coherente con la historia, los códigos visuales y el imaginario de la marca Louis Vuitton, desde la arquitectura hasta los detalles más discretos del mobiliario. A través de sus diferentes estancias, del lobby al café, pasando por espacios inspirados en sus bolsos icónicos, exploramos cómo el diseño se convierte en lenguaje y cómo el interiorismo puede contar una historia sin necesidad de palabras.  Un recorrido por el lujo entendido no como exceso, sino como precisión, intención y coherencia visual. Si te interesa el interiorismo como herramienta narrativa, este análisis puede cambiar tu forma de mirar los espacios. Puedes dejar en comentarios qué estancia te ha resultado más interesante. Gracias por pasarte por aquí. MP    Un poco sobre mí... Soy Ingeniera de la Edificación y diseñadora de interiores, me he especializado en proyectos de alta gama. Con 15 años de experiencia en la industria del diseño, he tenido el privilegio de colaborar con una amplia gama de clientes, incluyendo promotores, constructores, agentes de la propiedad inmobiliaria, empresarios y clientes privados. He completado con éxito más de 25 proyectos en siete países diferentes (España, Reino Unido, Bahréin, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, y Suiza) y he tenido el placer de trabajar con clientes de 11 nacionalidades. Mi proyecto de más valía hasta la fecha supera los 50 millones de libras, y uno de mis logros más destacados fue el diseño de una promoción de 16 apartamentos, donde el ático se posicionó con un récord histórico como el piso de un dormitorio mejor pagado por metro cuadrado en la historia de Westminster, Londres. Actualmente vivo en Londres y continúo trabajando en múltiples proyectos locales e internacionales. Aprovechando las capacidades del mundo digital, he producido y lanzado este podcast, "Atelier Prada", donde, de manera distendida y coloquial, abordo diferentes temas del mundo del interior con el objetivo de compartir parte del conocimiento que he adquirido durante estos años cada semana.  Para obtener más inspiración en diseño de interiores   www.miriamprada.com https://miriamprada.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/@miriamprada https://www.instagram.com/bymiriamprada/  https://www.tiktok.com/@bymiriamprada    Aviso legal: Nadie patrocina este PODCAST.

Is Prime London Liquidity Tightening? Five Market Stories You Need to Watch This Week.

Send us Fan MailFive things worth knowing this week.1. Prices dip, transactions drop.Halifax confirmed a 0.1% fall in UK house prices in May. London and the South East led the decline. Residential transactions fell 3% in April to just over 101,000. Higher inflation expectations are keeping borrowing costs elevated despite recent cuts. For prime London owners, the headline number is less important than the direction — when transactions fall, liquidity tightens, and liquidity is what protects value when you need to move.2. Legal complexity at the top end is accelerating.Compliance demands, AML requirements, and due diligence obligations are adding time, cost, and friction to high-value completions. This is not new — but it is getting faster. Assembling the right legal team before you need it is now part of the transaction itself.3. The Remediation Bill — another layer.Coming on top of leasehold reform, the Renters' Rights Act, and successive tax changes, the Remediation Bill adds to a regulatory stack that is now material in its cumulative weight. If you have multiple properties or development interests, map your exposure now.4. Planning reform: fewer decisions to committee.The government's National Scheme of Delegation will mean more decisions delegated to officers, fewer going to committee. Faster in theory — but less opportunity to challenge through the political process. The officer relationship matters more than it used to.5. India's UHNWI population up 27% by 2031.India's ultra-high-net-worth cohort is projected to cross 25,000 individuals by 2031. Mayfair, Knightsbridge, and Marylebone have all seen sustained Indian UHNWI interest over the past decade. As that population grows, so does the pool of prospective prime London buyers. A demand story worth watching.The full bulletin is in the first comment.Reply if you would like it direct to your inbox each Tuesday.The London Property Podcast Hosted by Farnaz Fazaipour, londonproperty.co.ukIndependent intelligence for serious London property owners and investors.Every episode cuts through the noise with 30 years of prime London market experience  no estate agent spin, no vested interests.

She has been saving her earnings so her younger sister, a maid for a wealthy Mayfair family, might have a shot at respectability.Kit is very close to leaving the life entirely when the legendary former thief Maggie O'Connell brings her plans to a halt.

In this episode Matthew Lloyd Roberts was joined by the historian Katrina Navickas to discuss the history of Grosvenor Square in Mayfair as a site of protest and policing. From the early twentieth century the square was home to the US Embassy, and it was the site of several protests against American foreign policy, most notably the Vietnam War in 1968. The policing of the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign led to the first CCTV system in the UK being erected in the square. The Embassy building itself, designed by Eero Saarinen, became a potent symbol of American power in London, but more recently the Embassy has moved to a more secure location in Nine Elms.Katrina Navickas is Professor of History at the University of Hertfordshire. Her latest book is Contested Commons: a History of Protest and Public Space in England (Reaktion Books, 2025). She contributed the ‘Croydon' chapter to Owen Hatherley's The Alternative Guide to the London Boroughs (Open House London, 2020), and also the Croydon guide for the Open City Pocket London maps. She is also a founding member of the Rural Modernism network.The podcast is produced in association with the Architects' Journal, London Society, C20 Society and Save Britain's Heritage.

Alcock and Brown's 1919 triumph predated Charles Lindbergh's famous crossing by eight years; Lindbergh himself credited them for showing the way. Following their landing, the pair was celebrated across London, eventually attending a luncheon where a young Winston Churchill, then Minister of War and Air, presented the £10,000 prize. Churchill was an early and industrious devotee of aviation. The saga concluded with a poignant banquet in Mayfair where twenty people, including former rivals and engineers, gathered around a single table. The atmosphere shifted from intense competition to a collective celebration of an achievement that changed the world. The Vickers Vimy remains a romantic symbol of this breakthrough in London's Science Museum. David Rooney reflects that this "big hop" into the unknown represents a human spirit of discovery that will likely be mirrored in a future trip to Mars. (4/4)1925

In this episode we talk to the journalist and author Jim Windolf about a 'testy, interesting and weird' month in the mid-1960s when Bob Dylan and The Beatles came into close and sometimes volatile contact. May 1966 would be recalled by Neil Aspinall, The Beatles' road manager, as 'Dylan Month'. This month came at a loaded moment for each of the acts. Both of them were, by this point in the Sixties, cultural sensations. But they were also burned out from the years of touring and seeking to transcend the identities that had first brought them fame. The following month Dylan would release his classic album, Blonde On Blonde, while The Beatles would reply later in the summer with Revolver. Here Windolf takes us to look at the relationship between these musicians at close quarters. Much was happening, he explains, although not all of it was stated openly. The scenes, characters and storylines in this episode of Travels Through Time all feature in Jim Windolf's book, Where The Music Had To Go: How Bob Dylan and the Beatles Changed Each Other and the World.  Show Notes Scene One: Early May 1966. Bob Dylan arrives in London and checks into the May Fair Hotel in the Mayfair district of London.  Scene Two: 13 May 1966. Dylan checks into the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, then goes on a tour of Beatles' sites. Scene Three: 26 May 1966. Dylan plays the Albert Hall and the next morning steps into a limousine with John Lennon. Memento: Dylan's suede Levi's jacket.

In this inaugural 2026 episode, Mark Homer provides a candid look at the fractured state of the UK property market. After a volatile end to 2025, Mark explores the stark contrast between the plummeting values in luxury London boroughs like Chelsea and Kensington, some down as much as 40%, and the resilient growth in the North and Midlands.  KEY TAKEAWAYS A Tale of Two Markets: Central London (Chelsea, Mayfair, Kensington) has seen a decade-long "slow-motion crash," with prices returning to 2013/2014 levels. Meanwhile, the Midlands and North remain strong, often with market values sitting below the cost of rebuilding. The Rental Squeeze: The Renters' Rights Act of 2026 is expected to professionalize the sector but also drive up rents by 5% to 10% as landlords pass on the increased costs of compliance and taxation. Interest Rate Relief: After interest rates spiked 1000% through the COVID era (0.5% to over 5%), they are finally retreating. Mark predicts a base rate of approximately 3% by the end of 2026. The "Five-Year Rule" for Buyers: If you plan to stay in a property for less than five years, renting is likely more cost-effective due to high stamp duty, legal fees, and moving costs. For stays of seven years or more, buying remains the superior financial move. Capital Gains Advantage: One of the most significant remaining tax reliefs for UK residents is the capital gains exemption on a primary residence. Mark emphasizes utilizing this to build wealth through home improvements and natural market appreciation. BEST MOMENTS “London has been a bit of a slow-motion crash... I've seen flats and houses that have dropped 30% and 40% in the last 10 years. It is nuts." "In many places in the Midlands and the North, it will cost you more to rebuild a property than its market value. You can't replace it for what you're actually buying it for." "Landlords will have to be paid for this increased cost of doing business... and that will be in the form of extra rent." "Inflation actually destroys and reduces your mortgage. If inflation is 3% and your mortgage is 5%, the real cost is only 2%." "Don't panic. I think it's a good time to buy and to hold. I've seen this cycle over and over again for 25 years."

Dear Wonderful Reader,Tuesday, March 17th, 2026, marked 4 years since I freed myself from the shackles of my corporate job. Four years is a decent chunk of time. For the same duration as my undergraduate degree, I've been frolicking around Mexico City, perfecting my Spanish and waking up every day to the joy of being alive. How have I survived without a regular paycheck? And, more importantly, have I learned anything that's useful to you?It has been mostly a dream, but this quit-my-job-aversary comes at a particularly difficult time. I've barely made $2,000 this quarter, not even close to my personal OKR of $15k. Selling some of my index fund investments to pay my rent makes me feel like I'm failing at being an adult. Then again, I did take six months off client work to launch my second book, get it funded on Kickstarter in just 12 days, and get featured in The New York Times. Still, it's hard to see the beauty in all that I've accomplished when reality is currently kicking my ass.As you know, last week I was hit by a family emergency, causing me to fork out a couple thousand dollars more to fly to LA and say goodbye to my grandmother, who it seemed was on her deathbed. I sat with her in the hospital for five days as she went through a heart operation, reflecting on life in a mortal-imperative kind of way, while somehow helping to nurse her back to health. It was a close call. Not every day is sunshine and roses.Sometimes those deeper, existential questions irk me. Am I really that much better off than before I burned my New York 9-5 life to the ground back in 2022? However, all it takes is a five-minute conversation with another software engineer who hates his life to knock my own sense back into me. I've definitely made the right choice.I'm definitely not in the same place in this “creative career” as when I started. My direction is clearer and narrower in a way that's motivating. I have a product to sell. I have workshops to teach. My path has a lot more shape, but it's not easier. In fact, I'm still suffering. Yet I am following the advice of Graham Weaver, from my favorite episode of Lenny's Podcast:“Life is suffering, so make sure you pick something worth suffering for.” That's how this feels right now. It's a lot of work, but I'm much happier doing this than sending Sean a stupid, boring spreadsheet. (If you remember, in my corporate tech career, I worked with more men named Sean than with women on my teams, lol).Here are four lessons I've learned in my fourth year of freedom.A second date?

No exclusivo George Club, no bairro de Mayfair, o fundador do Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro, recepcionou ministros do STF, do STJ, o Diretor-Geral da Polícia Federal e o Procurador-Geral da República para uma degustação de whiskies raros da destilaria Macallan, cujos custos totais da noite são estimados em 640 mil dólares (aproximadamente R$ 3,2 milhões). Este vídeo detalha o cronograma do encontro, a lista de autoridades presentes e os desdobramentos jurídicos após a Operação Compliance Zero.

Send a textIn this episode, I chat with Nikky Dunne from Heywood Hill in Mayfair, London.Step behind the door of a London landmark and discover why a great independent bookshop still beats like a human heart. I chat with Nikky Dunne, bookseller-in-chief at Heywood Hill in Mayfair, to unpack ninety years of tailored bookselling, a wartime chapter powered by Nancy Mitford's wit, and a present-day practice built on listening first and recommending second. From brown-paper parcels to rare firsts, Nikky shows how curation, not scale, creates lasting value for readers who crave depth, surprise, and beauty.Across two floors of a Georgian townhouse, Heywood Hill blends new, old, and antiquarian books into a living catalogue where literature, history, architecture, biography, travel, and children's titles coexist. Nikky explains how the shop sustains its mission with three pillars: research-led library building for homes and offices worldwide, a bespoke subscription service that interviews readers to match their tastes, and a rare book program that partners with passionate collectors. It's a portrait of bookselling as craftsmanship; intimate, precise, and often delightfully demanding.We also celebrate the publishers who keep literature adventurous. Independent presses like Fitzcarraldo and Pushkin bring bold voices and translations to younger readers hungry for challenging ideas, proving that serious books have a vibrant audience. The theme is consistent: human rhythms, not algorithms. When a bookseller listens well, a reader's world widens.If you believe bookstores are more than retail, places of serendipity, memory, and conversation, this story will feel like home.

War heroes, haute couture, and outrageous parties! This episode of History's Greatest Idiots, featuring The Fit Historian (https://www.youtube.com/@fithistorian), explores the extraordinary life of Neil Munro "Bunny" Roger, the openly gay fashion designer who became a decorated World War II hero, invented Capri pants, and threw London's most legendary parties whilst maintaining a 26-inch waist and wearing makeup to battle.The Fairy Prince:Born in 1911 to Scottish telecommunications tycoon Sir Alexander Roger, young Bunny asked for a doll's house and got it. At age six, his parents gave him a fairy costume with butterfly wings. His stern father sent him to Loretto, a famously dour boarding school that Bunny later said was worse than being shelled at Anzio. At Oxford, he attended parties dressed as Hollywood starlets, wore makeup, dyed his hair, and was expelled in 1930 for "alleged homosexual activities" when homosexuality was completely illegal. Margaret Thatcher was one of only a tiny minority of Conservative MPs who voted to decriminalise homosexuality in 1967, calling prosecutions "a waste of court time." This didn't stop her passing Section 28 in 1988, banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools.The Fashion Designer:After Oxford, Bunny worked at Fortnum & Mason learning tailoring, then opened "Neil Roger" in 1937 with £1,000 from his exasperated father (equivalent to £60,000 today, purchasing power of £400,000). He dressed Vivien Leigh, future star of Gone with the Wind. His designs referenced Marlene Dietrich, Gloria Swanson, and Pola Negri.The War Hero:In 1941, Bunny joined the Rifle Brigade and served in North Africa and Italy. At Monte Cassino in 1944, he charged a machine gun post wearing blush and a silk scarf, carrying Vogue in his pocket. When asked about approaching Germans, he replied "When in doubt, powder heavily." He was decorated for bravery, saved a wounded comrade at Anzio by dragging him from No Man's Land under fire, and entered burning buildings to rescue soldiers. After the war: "Now I've shot so many N*zis, Daddy will have to buy me a sable coat."The Post-War Fashion Legend:Bunny ran Fortnum & Mason's couture department from the late 1940s until 1973. In 1949, he invented fitted Capri pants on holiday. He bought 15 bespoke Savile Row suits yearly at £30,000 each in today's money, ordering four pairs of custom shoes per suit. By his death, he owned over 600 pairs of shoes. He maintained a 26-inch waist through corsetry until later life when it ballooned to 31 inches.The Legendary Parties:Bunny's Mayfair house became London's most notorious party destination. In 1952, he threw a "Quo Vadis?" party with no address, answering the door in slavery attire. In 1956, he held the infamous Fetish Party with guests in leather bondage gear, some dragging companions on dog chains. The Sunday People published scandalised photographs. For his 70th birthday in 1981, he held the Amethyst Ball at Holland Park, wearing a plum catsuit with a feathered headdress glued into his hair. Anyone not in purple was rejected. For his 80th birthday in 1991, he wore a scarlet sequin catsuit with an orange cape and greeted guests from behind a literal wall of fire.The Final Years:Bunny retreated to his Scottish estate Dundonell, spending his inheritance on art, furniture, and parties. When Sotheby's auctioned his belongings in 1998, the catalogue was 339 pages with 1,505 lots. He died in 1997 aged 85, having lived exactly as he pleased, fought Nazis in makeup, invented iconic fashion, and never once pretended to be anything other than who he was.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
