Cheval Life

London is a special place, a playground for anyone and everyone. Some of us are lucky enough to live in this beautiful metropolis and 17 million others visit us each year. We here at Cheval aim to share our favourite things about London with you be it food, culture or lifestyle, here’s how to live like a true Londoner this Autumn. London is a busy place and sometimes it’s faster and easier to get around town with the underground but remember to stand on the right when escalating down! For a more scenic route consider a black taxi cab. Fish and Chips is a British staple, however not all are created equally! If staying at Cheval Calico House or Cheval Three Quays in the eastern parts of town you must stop by Poppies (http://bit.ly/1topZ17) for London’s best fish and chips, or stroll over Tower Bridge for breath taking views over the Thames river. London is also renowned for culture. If visiting Cheval Harrington Court, Cheval Knightsbridge, Cheval Hyde Park Gate, Cheval Gl...

Some would say Summer is all about cocktails and fun and we have to agree! This week we hosted a fabulous client event at Cheval Harrington Court serving up healthy and happy mocktails to all our wonderful guests courtesy of family run local South Kensington juicers D McKay Fruiterers (19A Harrington Road, South Kensington, SW7 3ES ). These brothers who juice have a strict fresh and pure policy with a no additives or preservatives rule! Ian and co have kindly shared their recipe for these beautiful mocktails with us below.

Kids are very important to us here at Cheval Residences and with the schools on Summer holiday we feel it’s our duty to help you keep them busy and inspire their little minds with culture and lifestyle activities. This season across our social platforms we have focused on activities for #Kids this #SummerInTheCity. Join us as we collate the best kid friendly events this Summer in London. Visit the V&A Museum of Childhood for a spot of sandcastle assembly in the grand sand pit or marvel at children’s author Jacqueline Wilson’s Daydreams and Diaries exhibition which celebrates all things Wilson, giving you a chance to find out about her childhood, early career and what inspired her to write.

The 40 show limited run just so happens to be the authors favourite...

We all dream of being a superhero or secret agent, don’t we? This week’s blog explores how to have a quintessentially British James Bond Experience (the Cheval way) this Summer! Our first point of action is a crisp and dapper tailored suit from Savile Row, we love the way Scabal creates sleek and modern suits for the man about town. These garments are perfect for and compliment the Cheval Gentleman, both being ageless and graceful. Not only do they make more than 85,000 suits worldwide per year in their 10 global stores (gracing both Europe and Asia), Scabal have ‘a passion for cloth’ crafting and mastering their own fabric blends. http://bit.ly/Peq5uf 12 Savile Row , London, W1S 3PQ Next up we need a car, an Aston Martin to be specific. Global car hire giant Sixt has many pick up points across London and deals in a variety of luxury automobiles. Feel like Bond in the legendary Goldfinger and Goldeneye movies or for a younger feel,  the modern classics...
