Catch Up On London Fashion Week

If London feels a little quieter this week, it’s for good reason: London Fashion Week AW26 has just come to a close. And now that the dust has settled, we can finally take a moment to look back at what an incredible season the city had. The highlight? Homegrown talent. ‘British fashion matters, and in a fast-changing global industry our role is clear: to support, defend and champion it,’ says Laura Weir, chief executive of the British Fashion Council. Weir has spent the last six months rebuilding and rebranding the inner workings of London Fashion Week – and it seems to have paid off, if the 1.25 million social media posts (and counting) are anything to go off. This season was packed with viral moments of Britishness: collections celebrated the capital and its quirky characters, and a plethora of local stars – including His Majesty King Charles III – claimed a seat on the LFW front row. Never has it been more fashionable to be British. Settle down with a cup of tea and read our recap here.

Try Bodyrok Pilates

Ready to kick your reformer pilates game up a notch? Head to Bodyrok, the cult US-born workout which recently landed in London’s Covent Garden. Don’t come here expecting lots of lying supine with your feet in the straps: this is high-octane pilates, which takes place on a custom reformer machine to allow greater resistance and range of movement. Tiered lighting gives the studio an immersive feel, with a range of classes on offer targeting different body parts, from Buns & Guns to Obliques & Cheeks, all packing a serious workout into 45 minutes. Think dynamic lunges, pikes and twists with cardio finishers that will push you hard but leave you feeling energised (and have you immediately booking your next class). bodyrok.com

What Can Investors Do To Beat The IHT Trap?

The Chancellor has made sweeping changes to Inheritance Tax (IHT). More families will be caught. More of your wealth might fall prey to it (including, from 2027, your pension). Tax reliefs are being cut, and the nil-rate bands frozen for another six years. So what are the options now for IHT-averse investors? Is it still possible to reduce IHT – without giving anything away? This free guide from Wealth Club explains what experienced investors could consider doing to beat the 40 percent tax trap (capital at risk). Tax rules can change and benefits will depend on circumstances. Download the guide here.

Property Of The Day

Sir Roger Moore’s former Belgravia apartment has hit the market. Living there during the early days of his career in the 1960s, the soon-to-be James Bond star was left with plenty of time to stir, or rather shake, the pot of his relationships. While his second wife Dorothy Squires was suffering a series of miscarriages, Moore was having a secret affair with Italian actress Luisa Mattioli. Together, the pair would sneak off to this very same flat at 22 Eaton Square – where, when Squires discovered them, she threw a brick through the living room window.

Whatever You Do, Don’t

Assume a home reset needs to be a grand reinvention. ‘A reset should feel manageable and energising, not exhausting,’ says interior designer Ali Childs. ‘I also try not to buy lots of new storage as a first response, often the issue isn’t a lack of containers, but simply too many things and buying more things isn’t going to solve your problems.’
