Of course, us Londoners have been watching her like one collective proud mum. Share the love with this fun (and affordable) playing cards inspired by ‘Heaven’.

‘Top Boy (Score from the Original Series)’ by Brian Eno

‘Top Boy’ has always been a hotbed of London music. Headie One, Ghetts and J Hus run Summerhouse as much as Dushane and Sully do. But for its thrilling final season, another British legend took the helm – Brian Eno. This soundtrack spans delicate ambience to pulsating beats, providing atmosphere to some of the season’s most crucial moments. Even without the context of the show, this is still a varied and emotional collection of melodies.
