Cheval Residences is as British as tea time! Come and discover London with us. After inhalable vitamins and caffeine, a gourmet tea shop in London has created breathable tea that’s supposed to deliver antioxidant properties more quickly to the bloodstream. Created by Camellia’s Tea House and spotted by trend hunter Springwise , the vaporized tea experience was demonstrated at the Experimental Food Society Spectacular 2013 this month, a group that fronts creative, culinary pioneers and “food magicians.” For the breathable tea, the beverage was vaporized and served as a smoky gas which testers could inhale through a straw — an alternative tea experience billed as a way to avoid burned tongues and deliver the drink’s health benefits more effectively. Camellia’s Tea House describes itself as an artisanal shop where loose leaf teas are hand blended. Opened by a sister and brother duo with combined backgrounds in homeopathy and molecular biology, the tea boutique takes a t...

Cheval Knightsbridge is a few tube stations from Miller Harris store. The idea of a fragrance made for you is great. Not only it sounds like something only queens and princesses would have, it is also an opportunity to really reflect your personality through your perfume. And in a perfect scenario, maybe even have more than one scent, because let's face it, we all have our mood swings.  Perfumer Lyn Harris, founder of luxurious fragrance house Miller Harris , has turned the idea of the signature scent on its head with her Perfumer's Library collection. The Perfumer's Library is a set of five scents to suit different seasons, occasions and moods. The idea, according to Miller Harris, is to "build up a wardrobe of fragrances rather than being restricted to purely one".  The Perfumer's Library will initially feature five of Harris' personal favourites, which have (until now) never been sold. These are: No.1 Le Jasmin, a dewy white floral create...

Cheval Knightsbridge is a few stations from Soho. Packed with pictures of icons, stars and stylers, and not adverse to some greetings cards humour, this shop is a good option for cards for any occasion. But why settle for a card when you can write all over a 12 inch Elvis stand-up? In the Vintage Magazine Shop , magazines, comics, adverts and posters make for great presents with the retro appeal of a by-gone era. There are also regular signings by celebrities from stage and screen, Joanna Lumley, Britt Ekland and George Lazenby among them. A fun shop for a fun browse.  Including all the, t-shirts, mags, and other bits and bobs that this shop sells, the all time favourite must be the film posters.  As a film lover of all films, and especially old ones, you'll love to know where to find a good old classic original poster.   This particular shop includes film posters from titles such as Vertigo, the Goonies, Blow Up, Dracula and many more.  Each posters w...
