London. The place where everyone gets along: A king-size melting pot.

London stakes its claim as the biggest and most exciting design hub in the world. A network of villages, with 7 million people living shoulder to shoulder, and a truly international city, it plays host to talented designers from around the globe.

Supper clubs are closing down, boutique members' clubs are cropping up everywhere, and the cultural life is splintering into a million different pieces. Within all the fragments, there's much to treasure - pockets of different cultures to dip in and out of, and pretty much anything you want to inspire you and to keep the creative juices flowing. With the pound plummeting, Londoners may no longer be able to jet over to New York for some bargain shopping, but no matter - they'll just stay put, get the London look, and have a party instead.
