London on Filippa K

London

the sweetest of the sweetest

Maison Bertaux-28 Greek Street, Soho, London

Although everyone is raving about London’s East End there are still great places to be found in central London that are within a stones throw of each other. Here are some of our favourites:

Cafe Maison Bertaux
28 Greek Street, Soho, London:
Its always Christmas at Maison Bertaux with pink and purple tulle curtains held in place by glitter dipped fake roses and portraits of a young Queen Elizabeth mixed in amongst odd chairs and worn down tables decorated with bundles of fresh flowers.

The clientele is a mix of Central St Martins fashion students (the college is located just around the corner), and middle aged theatre types in the midst of conducting heated discussions with the staff.

Koenig Books
80 Charing Cross Rd London.
Koenig Books is a favourite among book shops, a place that certainly carries enough interesting titles to inspire anyone to happily spend a small fortune.

Neal’s Yard Dairy Seven Dials
17 Shorts Gardens, Covent Garden, London.
Although describing a place as utterly stacked with smelly cheeses doesn’t come across as especially inviting, trust us on this one. It’s completely worth it and you’ll thank us later.

Fantastic Man

our warmest recommendations

Fantastic Man is the gentleman’s style journal and brainchild of founders Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom. The magazine aims high at being an “anti-fashion” fashion magazine with an intelligent approach to to the modern man and pleasantly delivers with, as the expression goes, flying colours.

Upon our first encounter we instantly knew we both co-existed in the same realm of thought and values. Fantastic Man is, in the same way as Filippa K, about the man in the clothes rather than the clothes themselves and the refreshingly quirky approach to serious journalism is in every way satisfying.

Tonight Filippa K, Fantastic Man and Peres Projects will host an intimate dinner in London to celebrate a new season in art with a following cocktail. We can’t tell you enough how excited we are to join together if just for one night and promise to bring back pictures for you all!
