Paul Smith’s guide to London: ‘Keep your phone inside your pocket’

Holland Park and it has been since the Eighties. Our home is something that is very important to me. It’s a home, not just a house.Where do you stay in London?Claridge’s of course — it’s an overused word, but it is truly iconic. Even before visiting I’d heard so much about its history, that as soon as I stepped into the polished revolving doors I knew I was entering somewhere very special. I first stayed about 25 years ago but had been going there for drinks or dinner for some time before that. I’m not a big drinker but tea in the Reading Room is a great treat for anyone visiting London. My wife Pauline and I have been together since I was 21 but we still like to go on dates. Claridge’s is somewhere we love to go, particularly if we’re celebrating.Claridge'sWhere was your first flat in Lon...

Hold the Botox! Keira Knightley can actually emote in Black Doves

Everyone looks incredible, and no one can emote properly. So it was a revelation to see Keira Knightley in Black Doves with a normal amount of lines on her 39-year-old skin and the ability to make complex expressions as she kicks arse across London. Yes, the posters on the Tube et al have been air brushed to high heaven, presumably to spare commuters the horror of what a woman who is almost 40 looks like. But on camera, rest assured, Knightley looks like a normal, if terribly beautiful, woman. Source link

Cheap ski holiday guide: the best resorts on a budget for 2025, from Megeve, France to Åre in Sweden

Think skiing and you’ll probably picture the millionaire’s playground that is the Alps. Take Courchevel 1850 — part of the exclusive 3 Valleys ski area — where you can fly onto a private airstrip off the piste, ride an Hermés horse-drawn carriage at the hotel Airelles and shop at Chanel in your ski boots. I once spent 30 euros on a crepe and a soft drink there. And if you didn’t go to the type of school that hosted annual ski trips, it can be easy to think that this is an exclusive world that doesn’t belong to you. However, so long as you pick the right resort and take advantage of a wave of new apps or organised trips, it is possible to take a 0 off of your total bill, without sacrificing on style (or the volume of melted cheese consumed). Remember, it’s never too late to learn from scrat...

‘Tis the season to switch off: how to ditch your phone this Christmas

There’s a scene in Peep Show when Mark flies off the handle with Jez on Christmas morning because he forgot to buy the turkey. “No turkey?” Mark says, quaking with rage, before screaming “That was your job, you f***ing moron” and going on an expletive-ridden tirade. But it turns out to be a joke – Jez has in fact bought an organic turkey which he spent “ages researching online”. Mark apologises. “That wasn’t very Christmassy,” says Jez. “That wasn’t very Christmassy” has become a catchphrase in my house. My siblings and I have shouted it at each other over the years for unwrapping stockings before one of us has woken up, for presents which are obvious regifts, and when someone pulls the crackers and loses on both sides. But nowadays the most un-Christmassy thing I fall foul of is going on ...

24h in Folkestone: Shoreline, Rocksalt and a controversial renaissance plan

Our time exploring Folkestone was an almost constant flow of food and drink. In the afternoon we wandered 10 minutes from Shoreline, along the boardwalk towards the Folkestone Harbour Line, and first grabbed some delicious tacos from The Taco Shed. The next stop was Chummys, a popular seafood bar in the harbour, buzzy and busy with an endless queue of people wanting anything from a little pot of prawns to a fresh scallop and bacon bap, sweet and salty and a little bit spicy from a dash of chilli vinegar. Then, even though it was a heavy grey sky and blustery weather, we couldn’t resist sitting in the garden of The Pilot Bar, a beach bar in a shipping container, built on the footprint of the town’s old pilot station. Deckchairs, bumper cars from old fairground rides, palm trees – and loved...
