Working with a team of local writers, Adam has established a creative space exploring style, grooming, venues and all aspects of the finer things in life.

We sat down with Adam to find out what keeps him on his toes in London!

 

Home is…

…Wandsworth Town, but my childhood home is Surrey.

 

My guilty pleasure is…

I play too much football for someone the wrong side of 30. Until now I’ve played Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning pretty much my whole life.

 

My go-to shopping street is…

The Kings Road is pretty solid with most of the stores I shop at, but my favourite shopping destination is The Royal Exchange. I think it could be the most beautiful shopping destination in the world.

If I had to commit to a specific brand…

…it depends on the attire required for any given situation! Here’s my go-to guide:

Sports: Lululemon
Casualwear: A Days March
Holidays: Orlebar Brown
Smart Casual: Private White V.C
Tailoring: Clements and Church

 

My favourite bar is…

Scarfes Bar at the Rosewood. It’s a Dapper Chapper dream.

 

My favourite memory in London is…

…my wedding day in Hampstead.

 

I find my zen at…

…my yoga classes – despite the fact I can barely touch my toes.

My brunch spot is…

If I’m at home then Brew in Wandsworth Town, otherwise Rake’s Cafe in Liverpool Street has just opened inside the Andaz Hotel and is a seriously cool spot for brunch.

 

My ideal day in London would be…

I’ve slowed down a little these days so I’ll say a morning workout, followed by brunch, and then drinks in a pub garden somewhere.

 

I get my interior design inspiration from…

…lots of places! But my favourite items are ones I’ve collected through personal relationships. Our family business, Tanous, is actually a master frame-makers, so I have loads of really cheap prints with the most amazing frames – which I think are the real piece of art! My favourite interior items are some crystal decanters left to me by my grandad. They are beautiful.

 

A London view that takes my breath away is…

There ares loads of skyline venues I like such as Duck and Waffle, but I still love walking past Somerset House at golden hour and over Waterloo Bridge every day.

 

It’s Friday night, you will find me…

…in the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, maybe still working but hopefully drinking a cocktail. Otherwise I’ve been spending a lot of time in St James’s Market where there is a plethora of great places to eat and drink within the square.

 

If I could be trapped anywhere in London…

…it would be the Rosewood Hotel in Holborn – I could  survive there very comfortably!
