King’s Cross has come a long way since the days of greasy spoon cafés and grey station concourses. Now a hub of art, fashion and glossy regeneration - arguably London’s most frenetically modernised postcode - it’s also home to one of London’s most intriguing boutique hotels: The Megaro.

If the French Riviera were a movie, La Croisette would be the opening shot: sweeping, golden, glamourous and impossibly good-looking! This palm-lined promenade in the heart of Cannes stretches seductively along the Mediterranean, flanked by designer boutiques, historic hotels and beach clubs where rosé and champagne are practically on tap!

Where’s the most exciting place to test a cutting-edge sea scooter like the AquaDart Nano 550E? How about Mauritius—a jewel in the Indian Ocean, nestled off the east coast of Africa. This vibrant island is a melting pot of cultures, where English, French, Mauritian Creole, and Indian languages like Bhojpuri blend seamlessly. The cuisine? A sensational fusion of Asian, African, and French influences that will have your taste buds singing.

The word ‘Artisan’ has never been more relevant than in Venice. A city with a history of high-craftsmanship, precious products and inimitable style. It is through these arts, crafts and traditions that ‘Le Serenissima’ comes alive, and still visible within workshops, boutiques, restaurants, cafés and bars, all curating an ‘experience’ and ‘taste’ of ‘La Dolce Vita’.

During our Mazda MX-5 convertible tour through Surrey’s charming country lanes, we spent a magical night at the splendid Foxhills.

Foxhills is an award-winning haven—a luxurious spa, golf hotel, and exclusive country club nestled in the serene Surrey countryside, just a stone’s throw from London. With three exceptional restaurants, a stylish hotel, three beautifully manicured golf courses, an indulgent spa featuring five swimming pools, and an impressive range of family-friendly activities, it’s a place where surprises await at every turn.

When you think of St. Moritz, the first images that probably come to mind are snow-capped mountains, glamorous ski resorts, Winter Olympics and après-ski lounges where the champagne flows as easily as the conversation. However, let's shake off that wintery imagery and fast-forward to summer, where the town undergoes a transformation as stunning as the switch from mulled wine to a crisp Chardonnay.

For our McLaren extravaganza, we drove up to The Pig in Bath in the sunny Mendip Hills for a wild lust tour of the county’s best winding roads. The picturesque landscapes of Somerset, with their rolling hills and charming villages, set the perfect backdrop for the raw power and precision of the McLaren 750S.

Bailbrook House Hotel in Bath, Somerset, is a charming 17th-century Grade II listed sandstone mansion set amidst rolling hills. The property is approached via a long, winding drive, flanked by gracefully flowing trees.

The Silver Butterfly Ball of 2024 unfurled its wings in a dazzling display of philanthropy and glamour, all in support of the noble cause championed by Cure EB. The event, graced by the esteemed actor Damian Lewis, a dedicated patron of the foundation, was a testament to the power of collective action in the face of adversity. The ball, held at the prestigious RIBA, was not just an evening of elegance but also a beacon of hope for those affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a condition that challenges the very fabric of the skin.
