The Charm School

A pop-up modern day charm school where you can read a book, enjoy tea and treats, write letters (or in your journal), peruse art and other anecdotes left by visitors, or have a relaxed chat away from the busy streets of the city by day, or participate in a series of workshops and talks by night including sewing, posture tutorials, de-stressing clinics, soothing stretches, recipe exchanges and more. Notable mentions include Run Riot and Art of Sleep editor Katie Antoniou's sleep clinic (£15) with bedtime routines and soothing and rejuvenating stretches led by Dana Gornitzki, accompanied by milk and cookies, the sew-your-own-bunting class (£10) with Make Market and the vintage concierge service (£10) from the Vintage Guide to London. Prices for classes vary and are best booked in advance.
