London, Royal Ascot & Wimbledon
As summer unfurls across the UK, the rhythm of the city is ignited – marked by a season of sporting splendour, iconic pageantry and the unmistakable energy of a city at its best.
We began the season with the sound of hooves and the shimmer of top hats – Royal Ascot was once again upon us. This most quintessential of British events marries elegance and tradition with the electric thrill of the racetrack. Whether you’re trackside with a glass of champagne or watching from a private box, Ascot is more than a race – it’s a spectacle that captures the very essence of an English summer.
As June ripened into July, all eyes turned to Wimbledon. There’s nothing quite like it – the strawberries and cream, the pop of a new tennis ball, the respectful hush before each serve. The All England Club becomes the beating heart of British sport, a place where history is written in real-time on manicured grass courts under hopeful blue skies. It’s the kind of atmosphere that feels suspended in time – timeless yet electric.
London itself transforms in the summer, draped in floral blooms. We love to drift through Chelsea’s garden squares, sip a negroni in a hidden Soho rooftop bar, or wander into the cool of Mayfair’s galleries before retreating to the calm of the Thames. For a true escape, there’s nothing better than an early morning walk through one of London’s expansive parks, where the city’s hum feels a world away.
This is a summer not just of sport, but of celebration – a time for dressing up, stepping out and savouring the finer moments, whether in the Royal Enclosure or tucked away in a Knightsbridge café. From Henley’s rowing traditions to the gentle clink of glasses at Goodwood, every event is a chapter in a much larger story – one of ritual, grace and joyful connection.
And as always, between the whirlwind of occasions and long, golden evenings, there is a place to return to: a sanctuary of stillness, your personal haven amidst the pageantry. Here, you can exhale, reflect and look ahead to all the memories yet to be made in a summer that feels truly iconic.
