Damian recaps his trip to Amsterdam for the inaugural Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026.What started as an awards ceremony quickly became a full festival of cocktails, with bar takeovers, brand activations, industry events, parties and a green-carpet ceremony bringing together some of the best bars in Europe.From Rosewood Amsterdam's stunning Advocatuur bar and the Meet the Bartenders media event, to the main Europe's 50 Best Bars ceremony at De Kromhouthal and the rooftop closing party at LuminAir, Damian gives a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when 50 Best rolls into town.He also reflects on the key themes shaping the European cocktail scene in 2026, including Athens' dominance, the continued strength of London cocktail bars and Barcelona cocktail bars, the rise of Central and Eastern Europe, and the importance of genuine hospitality alongside technical innovation.Key TakeawaysEurope's 50 Best Bars 2026 felt much bigger than a single awards night.

|In this solo Tailoring Talk Magazine episode I'm talking about one of the biggest shifts I'm seeing in menswear right now: what I call “liquid tailoring.”If you're a busy, driven guy in London, you probably recognise the scenario. Your calendar's rammed back to back, you've got a full day in the City, then you're straight into dinner in Mayfair without time to go home and change. The last thing you want is to feel like the only person in the room still dressed for a Monday board meeting.That's where liquid tailoring comes in. It's still a suit, it still says you mean business, but it's softer, easier and a lot more forgiving. It moves with you, it breathes, and it lets you feel like yourself whether you're in a big pitch, on the Tube or ordering that Negroni at the end of the day.In this episode I walk you through:•Why so many men are moving away from “armour” suits and asking for tailored but comfortable instead•What actually makes a suit feel “liquid,” from the fabric to the cut to how it moves on your body•The idea of “living cloth” and why high‑twist wools, linen blends and open‑weave wools are perfect for London life•How to get a relaxed, not sloppy, cut with softer shoulders, lighter canvassing and trousers that finally let you move•Why this style makes sense in a city where you can go from ice‑cold air‑con to Central line heat in minutes•A simple office‑to‑evening outfit formula you can steal straight away•How I approach cutting a liquid suit for clients whose calendars never really stopIf you're living a high‑pace, high‑stakes lifestyle, your clothes can't just look good on a hanger, they've got to perform for you. A well cut liquid suit lets you stay in that “relaxed focus” zone all day, holding the line quietly in the background while you get on with what you do best.If this sparks ideas for your next suit or you realise your current wardrobe feels more like armour than second skin, reach out and let's talk. We'll walk through your typical week, look at fabrics that make sense for your life, and start putting together outfits that work as hard as you do.Links Website: robertorevillalondon.com Instagram: @robertorevillalondon Hosted on Acast.

"in league with the thief" [REIG]     Arvind Ethan David is a versatile writer and producer whose career spans theater, television, film, graphic novels, audio, and now his debut novel, The Great Game, a historical thriller set in 1905 London. Blending mystery and suspense, the book marks the return of A. J. Raffles — the famous gentleman thief created by Conan Doyle's brother-in-law, E.W. Hornung.   Born in Malaysia and educated in England, Arvind's perspective on imperial rivalry, colonialism, and cultural identity is expressed through the eyes of his narrator Balvinder dev Singh, a law student and military veteran who is funding his education in partnership with Raffles. When a brutal Mayfair murder tangles Bunny and Raffles in a widening conspiracy, it attracts the attention of Holmes, Watson, and even Winston Churchill.   Arvind's career began when he was still a student, adapting Douglas Adams's novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency as a play. When Adams came to see it, he became a mentor. He has written and produced extensively in television, including Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency for Netflix, Anansi Boys for Amazon, and The Garden of Evening Mists for HBO. He has also written seven graphic novels, including an adaptation of Raymond Chandler's Trouble Is My Business. Join us as he reflects on his experiences in these different artistic worlds, and on the unique challenges of bringing honored characters to life.   Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the latter half of August. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, as he reviews the first Enola Holmes film.

Recorded in 2012 at Sir Stirling's Mayfair home by Phil Sampson/Albany Communications, this is a wonderful conversation between Murray Walker and Sir Stirling Moss. Both, in their own way, are national Treasures; Murray Walker, the voice of motorsport, and Sir Stirling Moss, Mr Motor Racing (as Murray eloquently puts it). When it comes to greatness, there is no test greater than that of time – and despite the fact that both Murray and Sir Stirling had been retired for many years, their popularity, fame, and the memories each created, unquestionably live on.

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.

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.

Victorian London comes to vivid life in this riveting heist novel about an all-female thieving gang and one young woman's heroic plan to escape a life of crime, from the USA Today bestselling author of Down a Dark River.She's stolen gems, purses, and hearts—but can she steal her life back from the ring of thieves that's claimed it?London, 1879: Twenty-year-old Kit Jimeson has fingers so nimble she can nick a necklace off a lady in a crowded theater without raising alarm.

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

We reach the end of a decent second season of Mayfair Witches with some good set up for a third season but also some nagging questions. There was also an honest-to-goodness reanimation in the finale, so we managed to stick the landing!

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."

3. Following the 1783 peace treaty, the family moved to Europe, where "John Carter" reclaimed his true identity as John Barker Church. A high-stakes businessman with a high risk tolerance, he settled the family in London's elite Mayfair district. Despite her English surroundings, Angelica remained a vocal American patriot, often acting as a cultural mediator between Dutch, English, and French societies. She hosted prestigious figures like Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette. In London, she engaged with the "Blue Stocking" movement, surrounding herself with other highly educated, influential, and sophisticated women. (3)1789 NEW YORK

Opening a night club or restaurant looks fun from the outside, but behind the scenes it's one of the most operationally complex businesses you can start. That's why I was interested in speaking with Jack Zimmermann. After managing a team of over 200 people at XS in Las Vegas during its $100M peak, he returned to Austin to build Nova Hospitality, a portfolio of hospitality concepts including TenTen, Devil May Care, The Well, Mayfair, Neptune Sushi, LZR, and Coffee & Chill Austin. Most founders in this space struggle to make even a single concept work, and somehow Jack's been able to start and scale 7.  I wanted to find out how he decides which concepts to launch, how he funds them, and how he manages the risk and pressure that comes with leading hundreds of people. You don't have to be a restaurateur to get value from this one.

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?

Em abril de 2024, um evento em Londres extrapolou os limites do debate acadêmico para se tornar um dos capítulos mais controversos da relação entre o setor financeiro e o alto escalão do poder público brasileiro. 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. Analisamos o impacto das mensagens vazadas de Vorcaro, que revelaram bastidores de influência e a recente decisão do ministro Dias Toffoli de deixar a relatoria de casos ligados ao banco. Entenda a linha do tempo que transformou um fórum jurídico em uma crise institucional que agora movimenta o Congresso Nacional e levanta questões sobre a independência das instituições.

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.

Warm your biscuits, dear listeners. We are the tea you're having tonight. Now that we've finished polishing a hundred pairs of Araminta's shoes, it's time to peek through the doorway of our Season 4 Part 1 reaction. No need to pack a bag – just grab a couple of counterfeit shoe clips and a feverish artist for a sublime day in the country. Once we've dried ourselves off from a dip in the lake, we'll be heading back to Mayfair to continue our fruitless search for Glove Lady, a coherent timeline, and Francesca's elusive pinnacle. Since we've been cast out of the clubhouse and banned from attending the theatre, we'll be joining the Featherington men on a food tour of London. And if we happen to get caught behind a broken carriage on the way? Well, it's nothing a little ice cream won't fix. But Colin Bridgerton, you have been warned. You might not take note of staffing changes, but we certainly have. It's time to get your hands off Pen and your household in order. The Maid Wars are waging and our Vortia hearts are the casualties. *Show NotesComing Soon *Follow UsInstagramYouTubePatreonTikTok

Beware shallow waters, dear listeners. Spoilers are ahead.With only a week to go until our carriage arrives back in Mayfair, we're wading out a little deeper as we share our first reactions to S4E1 The Waltz. As the Bridgerton servants prepare our scones, we'll be polishing up Benedict's rock collection, searching the ton for Fran's pinnacle and making sure no one spills tea on the heir to the Featherington name. Following a dance lesson with a silver ingenue, we'll be sniffing our wrists and turning our attentions to matters of the heart with Matchmaker Colin. After all, we'd wager he's not the only one blessed with the gift of the gab.And if you're feeling a little chill from the passing winter, then it's time to slip on your silver gloves and step back into the ton. The seasons are changing, dearest listeners, and who knows what lies in the beyond? *Show NotesShondaland: Season 4 Premiere RecapTudum: Six New Photos Tease What's Ahead for the TonInstagram: @BridgertonNetflix Season 4 Character VideosYouTube: Pay Or Wait's interview with the cast of Bridgerton Season 4*Follow UsInstagram⁠ ⁠ ⁠PatreonTikTok⁠YouTube 

Angelica in Europe: John Church, London Society, and Diplomacy — Molly Beer — Following ratification of the peace treaty, Angelica and her husband sailed to Paris to collect outstanding payments owed by the French government. John Carter leveraged the wartime amnesty to settle accumulated debts, reconcile with his estranged family, and legally adopt the name John Barker Church. Angelica relocated to London's elegant Mayfair neighborhood, where she established herself as a prominent American patriot. She strategically positioned herself at the intersection of cultural and diplomatic negotiations, entertaining influential figures including Lafayette and the Adamses, while exerting subtle influence over American diplomatic representatives toward negotiated peace. 1900 TICONDEROGA
