Cheval Life

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...

standart.uk Cheval Thorney Court is near Gymkhana Indian Restaurant Gymkhana is inspired by the Colonial Indian gymkhana clubs, and this is certainly reflected in the colonial style interiors of dark wood, marble, ceiling fans and black and white photographs of proud looking Indian businessmen from the time. If you’re visiting Gymkhana for dinner, insist you sit downstairs where the clubby, subdued lighting really comes into play. Pick a booth and look out onto the bar sending out beautifully coloured cocktails from a creative list on ornate silver trays. The menu consists of bar snacks, Kebabs and Tikkas, Game and Chops, Curry and Biryani and Sabzi (side) dishes. The impressively large-scale menu allows for lots of ordering, and sharing is definitely the way to go here. Highlights are plentiful, but particular stars are the Keralan Moilee Mussels served with Curry Leaf and Garlic Naan – so good we had to order a second naan to soak up the sauce. Lasooni Wild Tig...

Cheval Hyde Park Gate is a classic, just like the Ray Ban Aviator Ray-Ban's legendary Aviator sunglasses will soon be available in an exceptionally luxurious edition, with frames made from solid 18-karat gold.

Cheval Residences, just like a Bentley, is elegant with a British soul. Bentleys and James Bond are two of the most British names you can find. Both are full of charm, elegance and history. True British icons.  It is hard not to love them both. And when they get together. is impossible to resist.  Bentley Motors and Vintage Classics are partnering for a 500-copy limited run of James Bond debut “Casino Royale,” pricing the leather-cased copies at £750 apiece. The Bentley link is in reference to James Bond’s affinity for the performance cars, and Random House furnishes the limited edition accordingly. Its hand-bound beluga leather case comes from the same tannery as Bentley’s interiors, the metal spine is reminiscent of Bentleys tread plates, and a secret compartment hides a set of playing cards. The Bentley edition of “Casino Royale” is to go on sale from November 1, exclusively from Random House, and is available to customers globally, excluding t...

All Cheval Residences are in the path of the Nikefuel Map London! London is a beautiful city and with an amazing transport system. Although this two caracteristics are all we look for in a city, sometimes they can get in the way of each other: how can you profit from the outside, if you're inside a tube station? Not to mentioned that it can makes us lazy. Let's be honest, who never got in the tube for a one station ride? Shame on us! That's not very healthy. Thinking about that and how to put more sport into our lives, +Nike  made the NikeFuel Map London. Under the premise that "Life is a sport. Make it count",  Nike have reinvented the London Tube Map to highlight the fitness rewards of walking overground between stations. Download the map here . Nike have assigned each distance its corresponding NikeFuel point score, meaning the relatively short 330m journey from Covent Garden to Leicester Square could either cost you £4.5 in tube fair or ...

Yorkshire Dales National Park Cheval Thorney Court has that classic English deco everybody loves! London is one of the best cities in the world. We have parks, museums, shopping, awesome restaurants, a royal baby... But there's only one thing we don't have: the small village feel. Yeah, that's impossible. For a weekend away, but not too far that you would miss London (it only takes a couple of days for that nostalgic feeling to kick in): the County of Yorkshire. A little under 4 hours from London and the perfect getaway, industry experts named the county of Yorkshire – the largest in England — the best destination on the continent at the World Travel Awards in Antalya, Turkey last week. While it’s been forever immortalized in English literature as a tertiary character in Emily Bronte’s 19th century classic “Wuthering Heights,” today the region has carved out a reputation as being a gastronomic destination with six Michelin-starred restaurants in the co...

Cheval Calico House is a few metro stops from New Oxford Street. You may even have already seen or gone into some pop-up bar (we love pop up things in London) but this is certainly different. For the London Design Festival , a pop-up bar in New Oxford Street, themed as a metro station will serve London's Camden Town Brewery beer, but there will be some other foods and drinks as well, all in designjuction . Obviously, the nerd within us is excited about the prospect of drinking in a bar as a tiled subway station. Camden Town Brewery already has its own bar in Kentish Town and will soon have a microbrewery on site, so if you like the beer brand, you know you will be in good hands. But the pleasure is not just in beer. An Italian coffee directed by the ice cream vendor Gelupo, which recently named as probably the best gelateria in London, will also be on site. Enjoy a gelato with a prosecco or coffee La Marzocco in your corner on designjunction, which will be furnished...

Cheval Hyde Park Gate is close to many historical sites, including the iconic Westminster Abbey. From the 12th to the 15th September 2013, Europe will have the European Heritage Days . But what is it?  Heritage Open Days or European Heritage Days (EHD) is an annual programme that offers opportunities to visit buildings, monuments and sites, many of which are not normally accessible to the public. It aims to widen access and foster care for architectural and environmental heritage. These events are also known as Doors Open Days and Open Doors Days. A little history? The event began in France in 1984, with La Journée Portes Ouvertes, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture. In 1985, in Granada, at the 2nd European Conference of Ministers responsible for Architectural Heritage, the French Minister of Culture proposed that the project be internationalised under the Council of Europe. The Netherlands held their first Open Monumentendag in 1987. Sweden and the Republic of ...
