‘FENWICK, C’EST CHIC’

After much deliberation, A-Gent of Style has decided to divulge one of his favourite haunts in Central London.

Hidden from the maddening hustle and bustle of the ghastly Oxford Street,
Bond & Brook is a haven of peace and allure tucked away on the second floor of Fenwick, the refined department store on Bond Street. During or after a shopping spree, A-Gent of Style likes to take refuge in the café/restaurant to sip a cup of tea, flick through magazines and feast his eyes on the very chic interior and the Tatler, fashion-savvy clientèle. Run by the award-winning food company Rhubarb,

As for the setting, the elegant and understated decor fits seamlessly well with the très chic womenswear that surround the gleaming-white café: a Calacatta-white marble floor underneath an eye-catching, shimmering burnished pewter bar complement groovy, celadon-coloured leather seat and white-painted metal stools,
a focal library of glossy fashion books, and a faceted-mirrored wall (reminiscent of Chanel’s iconic spiral staircase on Rue Cambon, Paris).

And, don’t forget; it’s now our little secret…
