Tea Smith
Betray even a passing interest in loose-leaf tea and the wonderful staff at this Spitalfields teahouse will happily share their seemingly endless knowledge. Sit up at the long, wooded bar by the hot water taps and you can watch them brewing your choice using the traditional Chinese method of gongfu.

This traditional Mayfair barber has been pampering men since 1875, which must mean they know what they're doing. Pick up aftershave balms, razors and shaving brushes, or settle in for a manicure, facial or traditional wet shave.
