Downton Abbey, The Auction | An exclusive first Downton Abbey, The Auction | 

An exclusive first look into the world of Downton Abbey @bonhams1793 as it opens its doors tomorrow morning to the month long preview ahead of auctioning the costumes and props before the release of Downton Abbey : The Grand Finale @downtonabbey_official @carnivalfilms 

The series changed the the face of British period drama, as it captivated audiences in over 250 territories worldwide and became the most critically well-received TV show globally, according to @guinnessworldrecords 

At Bonhams you will find the elegance of the Edwardian era and the costumes that dressed the incomparable Dame Maggie Smith, to timeless Art Deco glamour of the Crawley sisters. 

It is breathtaking.. think a fine wine from Lord Grantham’s cellar, but without the wit of Dame Maggie Smith’s dowager countess, who had the best one liners. The Sunday Times said today “she elevated every scene she’s in to eleven”. Didn’t she just. 

I think it is worth bidding on her cane alone…

The Tusk Turtle Art Trail | with the curator of th The Tusk Turtle Art Trail | with the curator of the trail Chris Westbrook @westbrookgallery as he took us on our own guided trail through Mayfair, Soho and to the heart of London’s Piccadilly Circus. 

Each @tusk_org turtle is supported by an artist that has painted a turtle in their own style. 

We began with artist @powell.jemma.art whose inspired turtle is titled Sir David, and paints the ocean from the depths of it upwards… all turtle plinths have information and stories on them. 

🐢👩🏼‍🎨 Other artists featured in our walk and in my video are @ronniewood @davewhitestudio @deborahmeaden @steven @johncleeseofficial @magdaarcher 

I finished up with @atelier_dant who has painted the most extraordinary turtle map reference to London - absolutely genius, and I would love to see a museum buy this one… 

🌎🐢Yes all the turtles are for sale at an auction in October and you can bid now for any of them. All proceeds go towards marine conservation projects.

🐢 There are 16 Turtles on display until 12 September. The final turtle by @harlandmillerofficial will arrive outside the @nationalportraitgallery at the end of next week, completing the line up.

🐢 All turtles are free to see, except the one at The Shard which is on the viewing platform. 

🐢 The map to download is in my August Highlights. 

🐢Off you go turtling around - it’s great fun.

Thank you @capturecomms @theartofldn

AD | Nestled in the quiet backstreets of Motcomb S AD | Nestled in the quiet backstreets of Motcomb Street, Kinnerton Street is one of London’s best kept secrets. A charming mix of hidden boutiques, cosy pubs and off the radar restaurants define this neighbourhood’s elegant, understated style. 

My new discoveries are:

Bespoke scented candles by @rachelvosperbelgravia. This beautiful little shop is where the magic happens, all created by Rachel. My go-to would be the stunning ceramic bowl you can fill, designed by ceramist Thomas Hopkins-Gibson. 

If you are into games, you’ll find nothing more elegant and beautiful than in the hidden showroom of @alexandrallewellynlondon Discover British craftsmanship and marquetry in her work, from the creative designs to the minute details in her bespoke boxes. If you like backgammon, your game just got elevated! | by appointment only.

@eggtrading Walk past this independent womenswear brand (think quiet luxury) at your peril.

Eating out 🍽️

@thealfredtennyson : Part of the @cubitthouse so guaranteed good food. Head upstairs to ALFIE’s restaurant for a cosy, elegant table service vibe.  Stay downstairs with outside dining and soak up a bit of London sunshine. It delivers on either floor.

@salloos_restaurant : A true hidden gem. This family-owned Mughal/Pakistani restaurant quietly celebrates 50 years next year — no small feat in London’s ever-evolving food scene. If you know, you know. The food is simply sensational.

@thewiltonarmssw1 : Serving up good traditional English dishes with a fantastic deal on Mondays with oysters for £1 each - my DM’s went mad when I posted about this a few weeks ago. When I went back recently for a drink it was fully booked for dinner. That should tell you everything.

Do you have a favourite?

I love a good spaghetti vongole | This week after I love a good spaghetti vongole | This week after a morning in various Mayfair galleries and a bit of shopping, we were @claridgeshotel for lunch. 

The famous New York restaurant @dantenewyorkcity is in residence until the end of August, so it’s the perfect excuse to visit - not that I ever need an excuse 😉 but I did go off piste from what everyone is ordering @claridgesrestaurantmayfair and went for what I was craving - it was absolutely delicious with a good kick of chilli 🌶️ 🤌🏻 is just how I like it.

Black and white photography surrounds the restaurant, and with glorious sunshine streaming in from Brook Street, a fun playlist, meant that for a New York minute I could dream I was on the Amalfi coast, that’s how good my vongole was 👌🏻

The Claridge’s x Dante residency runs until the end of August. 

Thank you @jessonthames @paulafitzherbert 🫶🏻

Let me explain my bearskin moment 💂🏼‍♀️

Our friend is working at The Tower of London and he invited us to the Ceremony of the Keys. 

This is a tradition that happens every single night at the Tower of London, and has done for over 700 years. 

It is the official locking of the gates and it is also the oldest military ceremony in the world that still continues to this day.

It is incredibly special. There is absolutely no photography allowed, even artists who have painted the scene are not allowed to take images for reference.

We arrive early for a tour and we also got to visit their lodgings. I wasn’t the only one who got excited by the headwear… I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my Private Benjamin moment, but the bearskin… well it wasn’t nearly as heavy as I thought it would be and far more fun than trying one on in a museum. THIS was the real thing.

After the ceremony we visited the ‘secret pub’ which has been on site for over 150 years. If anyone wasn’t quaffing Guinness it was of course a Beefeater’s gin 😉

Thank you for an amazing night FM. 

The next ticket release for the Ceremony of the Keys will go on sale 1st September. Have set a reminder for you 🗝️

They go very very quickly, so if it is on your bucket list, you may not be wearing hats or helmets, but you will get an out of hours tour and see something quite remarkable that isn’t seen anywhere else in the world.
