![London’s new doughnut pop-up 🍩✨☕️
Donutelier, brings its signature artistry to Harrods with a limited-time van pop-up.
Running from 5th September – 18th October, the van will be stationed outside the iconic 📍Knightsbridge store, offering a taste of Donutelier’s craftsmanship in a unique, street-level setting.
Much like a fashion atelier, Donutelier’s pâtissiers intricately design each donut using classical pastry techniques with a modern twist on French patisserie. For this pop-up, the van will be serving house blend coffee alongside a curated menu of their most-loved creations.
A highlight is the Dulcey Pecan doughnut, filled with blonde chocolate, caramelised pecans, and golden sable biscuit chunks, available exclusively at Harrods after leaving the main store menu this month.
Every doughnut is crafted like a pastry work of art: fillings, glazes, and toppings are all made in-house, with a focus on flavour, texture, and visual wow. 
Signatures include things like Pink Royal (wild berry cream, meringues, raspberries), Pistachio (chantilly cream, marbled pistachio, almond sable) and Dulcey Pecan (Caramel, Vanilla Cookie Cream)

![POV: You’ve Found London’s Most Haunted Spot 👻🪦
Hidden among the winding streets of north London, Highgate Cemetery is more than just a burial ground—it’s a place where history, nature, and architecture intertwine.
Opened in 1839 as part of the “Magnificent Seven” garden cemeteries created to ease overcrowding in the city, Highgate quickly became a prestigious final resting place for the Victorian elite.
Walking through its ivy-covered paths, you’ll find a mixture of Gothic tombs, crumbling angels, and elaborate mausoleums, many of which feel more like works of art than graves.
The Egyptian Avenue and the Circle of Lebanon are particularly striking, evoking a sense of timelessness that makes Highgate unlike any other cemetery in the world.
But what makes Highgate truly unique is its roll call of famous residents. Among the most visited graves are those of Karl Marx, George Eliot, Christina Rossetti, and more recently, pop icon George Michael. Each stone tells a story, not only of the individual but of the eras they helped shape.

![Most magical flower festival is back in London🌹✨🏰
The Flower Festival is an annual event at Strawberry Hill House & Garden in Twickenham, London. 
This year’s theme is “The Faery Tale Castle”, which draws on folklore, fairy legends, enchantment, and magical storytelling. 
Floral installations by over 50 of the UK’s floral artists. These are not just small bouquets — the displays are immersive and theatrical, making use of the architecture and gardens. 
Themes that evoke magic and myth: spinning wheels, a goblin market, flying carpets, a witch’s perfumery, even a giant spider in the gardens.
The setting itself is special: Strawberry Hill House is a Gothic Revival villa built by Horace Walpole, which in itself feels like stepping into history and fantasy. The interiors (gilded vaults, mirrored alcoves, etc.) and gardens add dramatic backdrop for the floral art.
⸻
When & Where
• Dates: Friday 12 – Sunday 14 September 2025. 
📍Strawberry Hill House & Garden, 268 Waldegrave Road, Twickenham, TW1 4ST.

![POV: You just stepped into Egypt… in the middle of London 🏺✨
Hidden inside Harrods is a world you wouldn’t expect — a beautifully detailed Egyptian-inspired space that makes you feel like you’ve been transported across time and continents. From hieroglyphic patterns to golden accents, every step is a mini escape from the hustle and bustle of London.
In 1997, Mohamed Al-Fayed, the then-owner of Harrods, commissioned renowned sculptor William Mitchell to create an Egyptian-themed escalator. This design was part of a broader vision to honor Al-Fayed’s Egyptian heritage and introduce an element of theatricality to the store’s architecture .
Mitchell, celebrated for his large-scale abstract sculptures and reliefs, infused the escalator with intricate details inspired by ancient Egyptian art. The structure features golden columns, hieroglyphic motifs, and sculpted busts, creating an immersive experience for visitors 
The escalator spans five floors, with each level adorned with Egyptian-inspired elements. Notably, the ceilings are embellished with vibrant blue and gold motifs, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian palaces. The walls are lined with sculpted reliefs depicting gods and pharaohs, adding depth and richness to the space.
📍Harrods, 87-135 Brompton Rd, London SW1X 7XL

![London’s Most Famous Façade Just Turned Into the Amazon 🌿🐍✨
Every year, prestigious London members’ club Annabel’s partners with The Caring Family Foundation to raise vital funds for reforestation and restoration efforts in the Brazilian Amazon.
It’s one of our favourite annual campaigns, funnelling resources to aid the planet as well as empower indigenous communities in Brazil, as well as women and children here in the UK.
Launching on World Amazon Day (5 September), this month-long campaign raises vital funds to support The Caring Family Foundation’s philanthropic efforts in the Brazilian Amazon. At the heart of this is reforestation of the planet’s green lungs, which have been pillaged by mass deforestation and fires in recent years.
Since it was established in 2019, The Caring Family Foundation has planted more than 3.4 million trees and seedlings in the Brazilian Amazon, growing to become one of the UK’s leading charitable forces for Amazon reforestation.
As with every edition of Annabel’s for the Amazon, this vital reforestation work will be symbolised with a special facade, set to launch on 5 September. Designed by Tatiana Kharchylava, 2025’s facade will reportedly showcase the vital role of trees (especially those in the Amazon) in purifying our atmosphere and stabilising our climate.

![POV: You just unlocked a hidden magical world in London✨🧚♀️
Originally opened in 1873 as the Midland Grand Hotel, this opulent edifice was designed by the esteemed Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott in the flamboyant Gothic Revival style. Its imposing red-brick exterior and ornate carvings were meant to elevate the prestige of the adjacent railway complex 
Scott incorporated advanced features for his era: hydraulic lifts, electric bells, revolving doors, fireproof construction, and interiors adorned with gold-leaf walls, granite columns, and lavish lighting
The “Grand Staircase” is a centerpiece: a cantilevered marvel soaring through three floors, adorned with wrought-iron balustrades, rich florals, vaulted ceilings, and starry motifs. It’s among the most photographed staircases in the UK
In Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (2012), the hotel’s Gothic staircase was used as the interior of Wayne Manor.
The hotel’s exterior is instantly recognizable to fans of Harry Potter—it’s the location where Harry and Ron flew a car in Chamber of Secrets

![The Most Surreal Thing in London Right Now 👁️🌙
Here’s a stunning glimpse of Tai Shani’s exhibition “The Spell or The Dream” at Somerset House—an immersive, multi-layered installation that invites us to dream of new horizons in the face of present-day challenges.
At the heart of the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court stands a monumental sculpture—a luminous blue figure reclining within a glass-like structure atop a stepped plinth. The gently breathing figure blends human and android qualities, feminine and masculine features, and is dressed in ornate baroque clothing, bathed in otherworldly light.
Drawing on fairy-tale imagery—enchanted sleeps, pricked fingers, and magical stories—the sculpture invites viewers to pause, reflect, and imagine new possibilities.
Inviting you to wonder, imagine and dream is The Dream radio, running alongside the sculpture. It convenes artists, thinkers and academics.
Each day at 1pm and 3pm, audiences can experience the installation composition in full with the fountains switched off.
📍Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LA, United Kingdom
