What happens when you put one of London\u2019s favourite listening bar spaces in one of London\u2019s most iconic arts and culture venues? Spiritland at the Barbican, of course! You can\u2019t ask for much more as a creative Metropolitan dweller: great tunes, excellent sound systems, and drinks flowing. Really the pinnacle of living, swing by.<\/p>\n

Youth <\/b>Music Awards 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderland<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We\u2019ve gotta shine a light on the young people who are really doing their thing in this increasingly toxic and confusing climate. Especially young musicians. And that\u2019s why award ceremonies like the Youth Music Awards. This year\u2019s ceremony took place last week in Liverpool \u2013 a first time outside of London \u2013 and saw the likes of London Duo Trxth & RHIA, producer IMVN, and local rap favourite KOJ picking up awards.<\/p>\n

Johnnie Walker Blue Label\u2019s Indian Festive Blend<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderland<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I love whiskey, especially when it\u2019s cold out. Really puts hair on your chest. Johnnie Walker Blue Label is right up there with the top tier, and they continue to aggrandise their portfolio with this latest collaboration. They\u2019ve launched a limited-edition Indian Festive Blend in collaboration with acclaimed fashion designer Rahul Mishra, drawing on the nation\u2019s visual language and the diversity of its cuisine. It won\u2019t last forever, so move quickly if you want to get your hands on a bottle. A perfect dad gift this Xmas.<\/p>\n

JD Sports and BBC Children in Need\u2019s Youth Club Dictionary<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderland<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Youth clubs are an element of culture that we can all agree needs a lift-up. JD Sports and BBC Children in Need are doing their bit, launching a new million-pound partnership to focus on youth work and youth projects. To celebrate the initiative, MOBO Award-winning rapper DC3 has shared a single, \u201cMy Home\u201d, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Andrea Arnold. They\u2019ve also released The Youth Club Dictionary, which documents slang, inside jokes, and everyday words that have a whole new meaning to young people today.<\/p>\n

Balenciaga Twenty Four Seven Perfume<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderland<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s certain scents you pass on the streets that make your head turn. There are some which, for better or for worse, make you stop in your tracks. And then, there are some scents, specifically a scent that sends you in an obsessive, three-month spiral after smelling it for the first time at the Balenciaga press day. For me, that\u2019s Twenty Four Seven, and, as its name suggests, that\u2019s how often I think about the musky vanilla perfume.<\/p>\n

The 007 franchise and the successor\u2019s rumours<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderland<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Being ill is good for one thing: watching films. Recently struck down with a bad case of the flu, the Daniel Craig-embodied James Bond became my unexpected saviour, his five-long project stint my oasis in a flurry of tissues. And amidst the homoerotic torture scenes I forgot existed and high-speed chase sequences, I started thinking who I\u2019d want the next Bond to be. That thought never concluded anywhere, but what I do want for the franchise\u2019s future, is a very specific Bond girl (or villain) casting \u2014 Marisa Abela, I\u2019m looking at you.<\/p>\n

Forever poppin\u2019 poppi\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n

poppi drinks have been a staple in the office this season. A \u2018tsss\u2019 and an airy pop, and the sweet flavour of Raspberry Rose or Lemon Lime and Strawberry Lemon are just a rim\u2019s kiss away from fruity goodness. And they have great taste too. For SS27, they partnered up with designer Ahluwalia for a poppi-tastic charm, made from glass and precious stone beads. Coming in three different colours \u2013 cobalt blue, lime green and orange, you guess the drink pairings \u2013 they\u2019re perfect for your jangling keys or your new Vinted-purchased bag<\/p>\n

Catch me at Caf\u00e9 22<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Camera drinks first x<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

One of North Audley Street\u2019s latest offerings Caf\u00e9 22 is a new sexy spot with a French flair. Joining the Mayfair neighbourhood this autumn, it presents exactly what you\u2019d expect from French fine dining nestled in one of London\u2019s coveted heartbeats. It was date night, which called for an extra dirty martini straight from the \u2018Martini (and cocktail) Trolly\u2019. Truly lip-licking. The sommelier, Freddie, studied our food choices perfectly enough to pair a light Ladoucette with our food; from a zesty Crudo de bar, vinaigrette aux agrumes (sea bream crudo with a citrus dressing) to a Coquelet grill\u00e9, citron et miel (Chargrilled baby chicken, lemon & honey) and Saumon d\u2019\u00c9cosse r\u00f4ti, topinambours, girolles, pignons de pin (Roast Scottish salmon, Jerusalem artichokes, chanterelles, pine nuts), and ending with chocolate-covered profiteroles, of course.<\/p>\n

Sniffing and smelling like TOUCH, Roelen x LN-CC<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderland<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Some scents can\u2019t help but stick, and as is the case for TOUCH, the new limited eau de parfum by LN-CC and Berlin fragrance house Roelen Perfume. Inspired by those unforgettable sticky and steamy Berlin nights, it\u2019s love at first spritz \u2013 if you love a spice-mixed-citrus aroma. Blending grapefruit and ginger on the top, it settles in the middle into a milk, ylang-ylang and sage fusion, before ending with a gorgeous, almost-festive frankincense and musk base. Some things really are sweet to the touch.<\/p>\n

ONER Active x The Sound of Movement<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderland<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

October is my favourite month for many reasons \u2013 my birthday being the main one, Black History Month being the other. Then, ONER Active stepped in to well and truly rescue the day\u2026well, month. At Poland Street\u2019s Phonetica, they gathered an intimate group of women into its basement to listen through some of the best Black artists over time. Dressed in some of the comfiest pieces from their Loungewear line, we listened through Sade, Stevie Wonder and Destiny\u2019s Child, while sipping on anything from a herbal tea to a margarita. I didn\u2019t realise it, but this is, perhaps, one of my favourite ways for Black history to be celebrated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
