Second only to the Serpentine Pavilion knees-up, the London art world’s next big bash is preview night at the Summer Exhibition. The RA’s patchwork submission-based show has been going since 1769 and is wonderfully accessible. Yet the big focus on the exhibitions means a lot of people don’t know that Michelangelo’s Taddei Tondo (the artist’s only marble sculpture in Britain) is in the permanent collection. You’ll also find next-level jamón sandwiches at José Pizarro’s café Poster Bar.

Colourful, carefully crafted, and hand-embroidered, the clothing at Cashmirino is so lovely we wish it also supplied womenswear. Though, if you're looking to invest in some quality staples for your little ones, we would look no further. 

One can never have too many shoes so they say. Especially if they're from Manolo Blahnik. Timeless and elegant, if they're good enough for Carrie Bradshaw then they're definitely good enough for us. 

An historic arcade that still feels genuinely transportive. Opened in 1819 and patrolled by its impeccably dressed Beadles, the ‘Jewel of Mayfair’ was built by the Earl of Burlington as a covered passage for his wife to enjoy exclusive, crowd-free shopping. Ever a place for romantic gestures, come to be guided by artisans through collections of old-cut diamonds, cashmere, and beautifully crafted pieces that are sure to become heirlooms.
