Nestled behind Oxford Street is a little oasis of calm: @StChristophersPlace. Bursting with independent shops, luxury boutiques and young designers, you are guaranteed to be surprised by something unexpected. Whether it’s handmade shoes @emmahyacinth, chic jewels @astridandmiyu, or a sustainable and ethically minded summer wardrobe @lovebrandandco—or even art for your home @castfineartscp or an electric bike to get to work (@maeving has to be seen to be believed!), you will find your hidden gem. But it’s also as much about enjoying flitting in and out of stores, trying on your next investment purchase mulberry or @whistles and then capping it all off with a delicious al fresco meal or cocktail at one of the bustling restaurants spilling out on to the streets. A bit like taking a little holiday, but you only need to get the tube. So take a trip to Summerscapes, a six week spectacular at St Christopher’s Place with offers, shopping experiences and new dishes as the area goes through a European makeover to bring you all the flavour of a Mediterranean summer.
