The Wallpaper* guide to our home town of London is authored by our art, culture and luxury editor, Hannah Silver, who is at home in Mayfair’s old school opulence as she is in the grungy art scene out east.
The aim of the Wallpaper* Travel Guides isn’t to cater to everyone. Instead, we home in on what makes a place truly special to us, from a design-led aesthetic to exceptional service and reassuring quality.
