shop
WHAT... The second branch of art and
homeware gallery 8 Holland Street.
WHERE... 8 Margaret’s Buildings in the
beautiful city of Bath.
WHY... Since opening their Kensington store
a year and a half ago, Tobias Vernon and
Rowena Morgan-Cox’s antique, vintage, and
mid-century interiors emporium has been the
go-to address for a curated collection of design
treasure. Their gorgeous new space brings this
expertly sourced selection, including textiles by
Catarina Riccabona and the eclectic ceramics
of Georgia Loizou, to a wider audience.

drink
WHAT... Double Standard, a buzzy bar
just opened in King’s Cross.
WHERE... The Standard hotel, a New York
native imported to London.
WHY... The bars at the various Standards
in the US are known for being cool and the
formula ought to work in London, too.
The Shawn Hausman-designed space
will offer classic cocktails and, unusually
for a luxury hotel, draft beers. The adjacent
British-inspired restaurant Isla features an
impressive wine list and outdoor terrace
for dinner alfresco.

discover
WHAT... Country lifestyle mecca
Thyme and its new home store
The Piggery.
WHERE... The picture-perfect
Cotswolds village of Southrop.
WHY... Thyme comprises just about
everything your dream rural escape
would have. A cosy boutique hotel,
kitchen garden, village pub, endless
gardens and, now, a boutique crammed
with covetable handcrafted products.
Think printed table linens, stylish
ceramics, blankets, basket bags and
a soon-to-launch clothing line – all
FE inspired by Thyme’s land-loving ethos.
