The Emory is Now Open
London’s latest luxury hotel, the uber-exclusive Emory, is now open. The Belgravia spot was designed by the late Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour of RSHP, and is London’s first all-suite hotel.
Renowned designer Rémi Tessier has masterminded the public spaces of The Emory, from abc kitchens and The Emory Bar on the ground floor, to the showstopping tenth-floor rooftop’s Bar 33 and The Emory Cigar Merchants. Tessier’s interiors seamlessly blend a sense of warmth to the contemporary steel structure, complementing the glass façade with rich and high-quality materials, delivering a mood of intimacy and calm.
Each of the hotel’s 61 suites showcases the work of world-class interior designers, including Alexandra Champalimaud, Andre Fu, Pierre-Yves Rochon, and Patricia Urquiola. The 330 sq/m penthouse with wraparound glass windows was designed by Rigby & Rigby.

Belvoir Farm Marks 40th Anniversary with Celebratory Harvest
Belvoir Farm’s annual elderflower harvest in June marked 40 years of the beloved British brand being in business. Its renowned bottling is still made to the same family recipe created by Mary Manners at her kitchen table in 1984, which became the first commercially produced elderflower cordial in the UK.
The month-long harvest took place on Belvoir Farm’s own 60-acre organic plantation, as well as in wild hedgerows found across Leicestershire and the company’s bordering counties. Pickers – many from the local community – were paid per kilo for their flowers.
Committed to working closely with nature, respecting the countryside and supporting sustainable farming, Belvoir Farm relies on traditional methods of hand picking, blending and infusing, with no artificial additives, and using only recyclable packaging.
