Creating a Modern Boho Living Room

Create a modern Boho living room with natural materials, layered textiles, rich colors, artisanal accents, greenery, and warm ambient lighting.

The free spirited and unconventional influence of bohemian artists from early 19th-century France has remained a design aesthetic that reappears time and time again in various guises. It is easy to see how the early 2000s were a particular cultural touchpoint with fashion drawing heavily from the free-spirited attitude that eventually centred around icons such as Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. Their catwalk looks and fashion magazine editorial content refined a two-hundred-year-old inimitable style into what became known as Boho Chic.

A Round-Up of Tennis Clubs in South-West London

Few sports are as deeply rooted in British culture as tennis. From its origins in the medieval ‘real tennis’ of royal courts to the 19th‑century codification of lawn tennis, the game has long been tied to England’s summer traditions, with its modern rules first formalised on manicured club lawns. The inaugural Wimbledon Championships in 1877 did more than crown a winner, it marked Britain as the home of the sport and still today, tennis remains a pastime and global spectacle.

Our Pick of Fashion Maisons in London

The independent fashion boutiques of London have been a central part of the cultural allure of the city for hundreds of years. In the 20th century, they saw the global appeal of a radical new youth-driven energy in the shops of Carnaby Street during the swinging 1960s. They moved through the punk rock revolution of the 1970s, which is so intrinsically linked to the attitudes of London postcodes and great minds of fashion royalty like Dame Vivienne Westwood. And they eventually became spaces that fundamentally changed the built environment of the capital itself, through the renaissance of places such as Shoreditch and Spitalfields, taking over what was once industrial real estate to showcase their creations in vibrant new ways.

The Best Keto-Friendly Restaurants in London

Discover the top keto-friendly restaurants in London — from Peruvian ceviche to Argentine steak, sushi fusion and Mexican street food.

Our Pick of Keto-Friendly Restaurants in London

The ketogenic diet has garnered some impressive popularity and praise in recent times. In its simplest terms, this represents a high fat eating plan that is focused on shifting the primary energy source for our bodies from glucose to fat. When the carbohydrate intake is dramatically reduced, in comparison to a more typical diet, to around 50 grams or less per day, the body then enters a metabolic state called ketosis. The theory is that through burning fat for energy instead of the sugars of glucose, our bodies are forced to tap into stored reserves in a more efficient manner with greater potential for weight loss, benefits in focus and mental clarity and overall better balance in the control of blood sugar.
