The Best Private Members' Clubs In London

London is a cosmopolitan city that carries tradition and carefully blends it in with the contemporary, and as such it hosts a plethora of members clubs scattered across the central area. In this article we will explore the best clubs, but also figure out the ones that might most suit your personality and interests. You should remember - a members club isn’t made up of the facilities or perks it offers but rather by the people who visit it. Annabel's Guided by the design prowess of Martin Brudnizki, an omnipresent figure in crafting the aesthetics of some of London's most elite establishments, Annabel’s has become a playground tailored for the affluent and famous. Boasting multiple restaurants, bars, and its notorious nightclub, Annabel’s re-entered the bustling members' club market with an offering that impresses on multiple fronts.

Just to Land in Tokyo - A New York Love Story

Half book, half work of art, Just to Land in Tokyo is a charming New York love story about German photographer Hans and Japanese Jazz singer and bass player Yuma, whom he met while she was performing in The Blue Note Jazz Club. This is the beginning of a scenario that may or may not be true. The story of Hans's overheated imagination about a girl who may be completely made up. The book's format comes close to a monologue involving events that may never have happened – in the end, we’re not sure whether Hans ever existed at all. Just to Land in Tokyo tells a beautiful love story that could easily have happened in New York. The authors, multimedia artists Kuzma Vostrikov and Ajuan Song, work together to create a photographic collaboration imbued with fashionable surrealism. The visual images complementing the narrative show feelings and loneliness through the use of masks, faces, isolation and reincarnation. The book came about as the duo wanted to create a novel about New York and its loneliness, with improvisational visual content. Kuzma – filmmaker, artist and writer – is Ajuan’s mannequin who was used as the main character of the photographs. As active participants in the artistic process, throughout Just to Land in Tokyo , Kuzma and Ajuan explore how one overcomes distance to settle in a new, unknown place and the challenges of running away from their loneliness. Having both moved separately to New York, they have both experienced their share of discomfort and finding where they belong. Ajuan and Kuzma’s aim is to remind people that love exists, one just has to learn how to fly properly, that you can still become a superhero and the big city is a true monster, but you can be a winner. The book launches on the 7th of December and is available here .
