World_Traveller_-_May_2019

a heads up on all that's new and noteworthy in the

city in our cover story on page 24. From why you

should swap Shoreditch for Peckham and Hackney

Wick (trust us, we know what we're talking about),

and taking a sneak peek at the hottest tables

and most desirable hotels in town, we've got

everything you need to curate your perfect trip.

And if you fancy tagging on a long weekend in

Paris, our four-page feature, by our in-the-know

travel writer Lara Brunt, tells you how to explore

the City of Lights in style (p58).

Also inside this issue, we take you on a trip

across California in a classic Airstream (p36) and

whisk you away to live the easy breezy life in St

Lucia (p48). Plus, in the spirit of Ramadan, we've

unearthed some trips that'll add extra cultural

meaning to your future travel plans on page 16.

Happy travels,

Faye Bartle
