Someone, most likely my proud Cockney grandad, once told me “the best thing about leaving London is that you get to come back”. It stuck in my mind while we were roaming beyond our usual borders to pull together this travel special. Over 12 dedicated pages we’ve checked in to a historic French abbey that’s been given a designer reboot by Dior, got the inside track on the Amalfi Coast’s most buzzed- about new beach club and discovered where a kitchen’s worth of top chefs are eating this summer. We’ve taken a delicious daytrip to the Kent coast, gone wild in the Scottish Highlands and embraced the slow life on Sweden’s sunshine island. So if you’re looking for escape plans, we’ve got you covered – and we’ve compiled an essential what-to-wear guide too. Touching back down in the capital, an international flavour prevails as we explore the resurgence of the ancient Chinese game of mahjong in east London, chart the rise of Egyptian designers in the capital and reflect on the legacy of Frida Kahlo with Mexican chef Santiago Lastra. There are seasonal takes from our regular columnists Hannah Crosbie (on why it’s a Greek wine summer), Jimi Famurewa (on the true art of holiday dining) and Laura Jackson (on our most lasting souvenirs). Plus, as we argue on page nine, it’s a World Cup summer; you could have the holiday of your life simply by staying put. Too soon to say it’s coming home?
Cheers,
