London Calling

There's something about London Town... After travelling the world, stopping at tonnes of cities, I struggle to believe that there's any city more charming or fashionable than the capital! It's not just the designer labels paralleled with vintage warehouses that makes London the most incredible shopping destination, it's something about the whole aura & attitude that floods from Fleet Street to Mayfair that gives London that edge. Stepping off the train at Marylebone you'll feel it. That originality that comes from the centuries-old buildings & the old-school vibe is enough to inspire anyone. Teamed with a multi-cultural, cosmopolitan influence & you can see why London is home to some of the most different, original & classic style. There's a sense of acceptance in London. No matter how you dress, you will always encounter someone who understands & appreciates your concept. Whether it be on the Tube or in a chic rooftop wine bar, there will be someone who is inspired by you or inspires you! The tradition yet progression of London is reflected by the Londoners classic looks with modern touches. You only have to visit one of the locals favourite haunts to be witness to this. Stepping down the narrow, steep staircase of Gordons Wine Bar, you'll see 20-something's donning flat-caps & vintage t-shirts which reveal sailor-jerry-esque tattoo sleeves. In the same bar, you will also see 20-something's in tweed blazers & brogues sat in a low-ceiling corner with a bottle of wine chatting intently about the stock market. No judgement. Following a recent jaunt to the city, I now feel London calling. That's the problem see, the smoggy streets, old pubs with roaring fires & hidden bars in dingy cellars also makes London the ideal place for dreamers...
