Trunk has carved a niche for its carefully curated, tightly edited men’s clothing and led a charge that has seen a host of men’s labels open along the Marylebone street. The emporium now boasts a collection of brands across fashion and lifestyle, from Comme des Garçons Parfums to Mackintosh and Valextra.
Around the corner in Marylebone High Street are Slowear and Luca Faloni (Italian cashmere and linens and wonderful trousers), both menswear stores worth visiting.

12 Arlington WayThe store is a carefully curated general wares gallery, selling hand-selected practical design items from across the world, from Japanese paperclips and pencils to a pestle and mortar made in Ghana.
Using his experience in galleries both in London and in Paris, Tom’s curation of the products is an artwork in itself. The shop’s restoration has been done lovingly, through dedication and hard graft, a truth that shares many of the qualities with the wares which are for sale.

It’s impossible for a shopping district that’s born out of what was once a Victorian coal depot to be anything other than ultra cool and trendy. Worlds away from your standard Westfield (much as we love the multiplex), the list of stores, bars and restaurants in Coal Drops Yard is pretty alternative. Of the shops, some, you may know - Aesop, Cos, Paul Smith - but most will be completely new, such as LA label Twiin and menswear boutique Universal Works. On the food and drink front you’ll find a new outpost for the trusty tapas restaurant Barrafina nestled among edgy new eateries and concept bars. Check out El Pastor for tacos and Bodega Rita's for deli food inspired by the corner stores of NYC.

It may be fashionable to profess admiration for craft, but few give it contemporary relevance like The New Craftsmen does.
Tucked into the west shoulder of Mayfair, it’s been a beacon for collectors and makers alike since opening four years ago. Every designer showcased in store arrives having passed a “taste test” with its three co-founders: Natalie Melton, previously commercial director of charitable organisation Arts & Business; Catherine Lock, formerly a product developer for Habitat and John Lewis; and Mark Henderson, chairman of Gieves & Hawkes and the London Luxury Quarter. Their collective expertise makes the shop not only a reliable source for those with a roving decorative eye, but also an influential force shaping the British craft canon today.

Based around the aptly named Floral Court, the new 1,500-square-metre space is split into nine elements. A courtyard festooned with plants and full of terracotta pots sits at the centre with La Goccia, a casual restaurant and cocktail bar at the opposite end. On one side of the courtyard, there is a second restaurant, The Petersham, a delicatessen, as well as a wine shop and florist. Opposite is a home and garden shop, which offers the sort of furniture, antiques, ceramics and glassware that you would find in their Richmond nursery.
