“All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me.
It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want Rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’ - they have no idea what I’m talking about.”
― Diana Vreeland 💋🎨

‘Everything starts with red.’❣️
The colour red has the shortest wavelength, meaning we see it first. As such, it’s not surprising that every studied language developed a word for ‘red’ before any other colour. Red also starts the ascension of chakra points on the body. Thus we decided to launch our film club with two works where this visceral colour features prominently. Red is for beginnings.
Red is the root chakra - immediately catching our attention to signify threats or passion, exude confidence or danger. The root chakra sits at the base of your spine and is responsible for making you feel grounded and safe. Our screening of SUSPIRIA will test parameters of visceral safety, while our screening of The LOVE WITCH will toy with security in intimacy (tix in bio).🩸💔
As our subsequent screenings unfurl, we will slowly move up the chakras of the body and explore the symbolic links between the colours and their corporal correspondences.
Sign up to our mailing list via the link in bio to hear more, or to book tickets for LOVE WITCH.
…Are you red ready?

“The day he left me was the day that I died. But then I was reborn, as a witch… Witchcraft is my religion. And this religion, which is older than your Christianity, saved my life.”
So said Elaine Parks, the beguiling protagonist in the film ‘Love Witch’, which is a tribute to the 1960s camp horror genre.
Join us at the in Covent Garden on Thursday the 6th of June for a screening of this 2016 gem!
The 6th of June is also the new moon in Gemini so a perfect time to explore your duplicitous nature. 🌚🌝
A tarot reader will be present to help you set intentions for the next lunar month, and there’ll be a special secret ceremony we can all take part in before the film begins… all we’ll say for now is that you’ll have ample chance to emulate Elaine’s love stare. After all, ‘she loved men, to death.’ 🌹🥀

“Where I got the colour red—to be sure, I just don’t know. I find that all these things . . . only become what they are to me when I see them together with the colour red.” - Matisse ❤️🔥
The artist once remarked how his paintings only made sense when he could view them in his studio against a backdrop of vibrant red.
We love the idea of not being able to grasp a concept, a composition, without first placing it in an abyss of colour, especially red. Can you really think of something without thinking of something else?

‘Christopher shared the details of a dinner focused on the fleeting phenomena of the natural world.
Called ‘A State of Flux’, the room with filled with elements from various biomes. From giant orca puppets to fans blowing hot, desert air, as Christopher shared, “guests were completely enveloped in the environments we were creating”.
The evening was fastidiously tailor-made, with delicate touches like the release of a blue monarch butterfly to signal the end of the night.
The cavernous room was by turns filled with swirling sandstorms, schools of fish, and a sixty-foot table carved of ice. Sounds impossible? It’s a Tuesday night for Christopher Mills…’

A blank page of paper is a clean slate. For many of us it is a symbol of possibility, hope, a pause before creation begins.
In these days of environmental accountability, we need to reexamine how paper is made and often wasted. LONDNR is both a print & digital magazine, so we’re particularly passionate about exploring alternative paper options, should they become more ubiquitous. At the same time, there is a danger of people assuming digital reading is a completely harmless alternative - although of course it isn’t.
In honour of this big topic that touches our industry, we’re re-publishing this piece for on the Third Life of Paper. Link in bio.

“Throughout history and across cultures, the terms for ‘right’ and ‘left’ have been used not only for direction or location, but also to convey moral standing or competence.
‘Right’ in many languages is often synonymous with ‘correct’, ‘just’ and ‘law-abiding’, whilst ‘left’ bears rather more negative connotations of clumsiness, awkwardness, and down-right Satanism.
In Latin, there is no beating about the bush – the term for ‘evil’ and ‘unlucky’ is exactly the same as that for ‘left’ – sinister!
The left hand gets a particularly bad rap. The phrase ‘the left hand path’ is a euphemism for dabbling in the occult, and in France, it was at once held that witches would greet the devil using their left hands…”
Throwback to one of our most mischievous little articles, ‘When Right is Right, but Left is Wrong’.

We’re all fallible to nostalgia (we think it keeps us youthful). That’s why this week, we’re revisiting some of our favourite recommendations from The Weekly Muse, (alongside a new piece on art and aesthetics), to see what golden nuggets we’ve discovered this year.
PLASTIC WASTE, OR PLASTIC TASTE?
- Inside auction houses, there is a further secret… they are unusual museums where humans become the objet d’art
TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
- Reap the fruits of your labour, meaning London and enjoy its often unspoken - even unseen - natural spaces
NO FOUL AT FOWL
- This poulet pop-up party is the place to be seen, with a menu presented by the masterminds behind St James’s uber trendy, Fallow
A DEADENING PLACE?
- Read this witty little piece on socialite escapade at one of London’e best known members clubs

Coeur de Combard is a delicious blend of Syrah and Viognier – white meets red, yin and yang. The Domaine is owned by the Barge family, the first family to produce domaine owned wine produced in Côte Rôtie in 1929. Ninety years later Gilles Barge and his son Julien run the domaine. Gilles revolutionised the traditional wine making process at the Domaine from the 80s onwards.
This wine was one of the first to lower the use of sulphur, a real trendsetter, and reduced fining and filtration – another trend firmly rooted in the wine world. Bottles of this wine are only produced in what the Barge family feel are great vintages, as this is crafted from their filet section (or HEART) of their holdings in the vineyard – this means each bottle is of exceptional quality.
The Barge family are a wonderful example of the Old World anew. Maintaining the traditions of old barrel aging and whole fermentation but embracing new ideas simultaneously the Barges are standard bearers of traditionalism and innovation in the Côte Rôtie area. This seven generation wine family have many more generations to come we hope!

One more week down and we’ve sunk into colder, darker nights. Thankfully, we have Christopher to lead us through to the light at the end of the tunnel (bored of me yet?).
This week Christopher recommends:
‘Avaunt and quit my sight’
- Christopher speaks honestly and critically on the dangers of creative licenses and when historical-doc dramas tread the line: ‘Nowadays, it’s all about ‘bringing up the bodies’…Perhaps this is a symptom of blandness in society (someone, somewhere, please smash a guitar!)’
Patience is a virtue
- Christopher culls out a spot for any fellow foodies. A chance to visit somewhere new…‘Of all the insipid and run-down cookie-cutter malls in the Western world, this might not be the worst one…But that’s only because it’s got Kaizen’

‘I see the female figure, almost unclothed and overly posed, everywhere I go. She is never out of shot. Up and down on public escalators my eyes flicker over endlessly supine forms, repeated with the shoving insistence of propaganda.
I am imbibing a million Beyoncés in sequinned bodystockings, a hundred thousand Hailey Biebers in bikinis. I am no more than a fattening duck with a funnel down its neck, no more than a Suffragette with a feeding tube up her nose. Like an abandoned orchard where unpicked apples rain down in a frightening deluge, the stripped human shape is thrust upon me from every direction. Society wants me to see and see it until I choke.’

It’s Friday! Time for a very exciting instalment of ‘The Weekly Muse’ with - a column that covers all the city insights & tea you could possibly need.
This week Christopher recommends:
HEARING THE TRUTH
- About the goings on at legendary private club , where the “past the crop-topped gate-keepers you’ll find yourself entering a safari of high-end interior design (just don’t look too close ‘cause it’s pretty stained), and ABC1 people on the prowl”,
BASKING IN THE FESTIVE SPIRIT
- At Native Bankside, the hotel in which stands the spectacular Xmas tree designed by Christopher himself, “the brief? To conjure up a magical tree that goes all out, transporting guests back in time. The result is 'A Nostalgic Tapestry of the Thames', a festive installation that defies traditional decorations”,
BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL
- At , where you can take part in one of their deeply illuminating backstage tours, which “is akin to sipping on a delicious cocktail mixed from just the right ingredients. It’s equal parts interactive escapades and enlightening facts about the Royal Opera House's dramatic history (did you know it's had more fire incidents than a pyromaniac's barbecue party?)”

New article alert 🫖
‘Our days are increasingly framed around beverages. We aspire to include some filtered water, but typically the working hours are bookended by tea and lager. We’ll leave you to figure out which we start the day with… and what we use for our curtain call. And though necking jars is a perfectly British habit, today we’ll be talking about the humble cuppa. Of course, it wasn’t always such a quotidian item, back in the day tea was an exercise in etiquette. So why the fuss? And was it really all corsets and crinoline?’

Meet a Baron of Barossa - Mr Melton and his ground-breaking red blend – Nine Popes. This interesting blend is a staple in Australian viniculture these days– the GSM trifactor! - and The Meltons have led the charge and have produced premium Barossa red wines since 1986. At that time, Charlie and a small band of Barossan winemakers turned their winemaking efforts to what were then considered a couple of unfashionable varieties: Shiraz and Grenache. These wines were initially styled on those from the Rhône but are now considered leading examples of the varieties in their own right. Adding a small amount of Mourvedre, and the GSM blend was born in the Barossa.
Not only is Nine Popes the first GSM blend produced in the Barossa Valley, the Meltons have been credited with reviving the Grenache grape “single-handedly” in Australia. Quite the legacy. It’s no wonder he holds the title of Baron of Barossa!
We have to shoutout the Nine Popes name choice too, a rather cheeky nod to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, off which this blend is based. See what you think – the Aussie or the Old World?
‘Edward Dando: guzzler of oysters, bane of fishmongers, and London’s oddest working-class hero…Arriving at an oyster-stall, Dando would eat hundreds of the bivalves before telling the anxious owner he was penniless. Unsurprisingly, he endured numerous beatings and several spells in prison. On release, Dando would head straight for the nearest oyster-shop – and do it all over again.’

We think this poem, Martini by Dorothy Parker, is very fitting for the end of the day. I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host. Audio by Alex McMurray Art by @furthest_kingdoms #london #poetry #poems #worldpoetryday
Next up for world poetry day, we turn our heads to Pakistan with a special reading of a poem by legendary artist, Ahmad Faraz. This piece was composed and curated from multiple sources and interpretations by our editorial team. It is by no means a direct translation. But, we hope you enjoy our take! If we part now, Perhaps our reunion will be in the land of dreams. Like two petals meeting in a book. Seek the gems of loyalty amongst Us who are ruined. Even gold is found in the earth. Amongst rocks. If you think the pain of your heart Weighs as heavily as the pain of the world Indulge in both. Don’t you know intoxication increases if you mix drinks? I am not god, our love is not ordained. So why on earth should we pretend? Even if we are persecuted today, Tomorrow, we might find peace. If we part now, We will move on, Neither I nor you will be the same, Our reunion will be like TWO ghosts meeting In the sand.

Happy World Poetry Day! 🎉 To celebrate, we decided to share some of our favourite poems. This one is Orange by Wendy Cope. At lunchtime I bought a huge orange— The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave— They got quarters and I had a half. And that orange, it made me so happy, As ordinary things often do Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. It's new. The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I'm glad I exist.

Aldous Huxley's classic and conceptual novel 'Brave New World' takes a futuristic look at the modern world in a dystopian setting. The themes of scientific advancements in human reproduction and psychology were very ahead of its time when the book was published in 1932. Today, as science and technology improve, the reality of this piece of fiction becomes more and more possible. The book also covers the hierarchy of society and the so called 'superiority' of certain members. This novel is a particular favourite of ours at Londnr, so we wanted to honour it with this audio piece for world book day, and bring it to life in an immersive way. We wanted to share this segment to represent a little bit about who we are. We care about literature, culture and society, and this book explores the complexity of all of these in a way we can't help but love. We hope it captures your imagination and also transports you to its complex, dystopian world. #WorldBookDay #bookcommunity #london Voiceover by Alex McMurray (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-mcmurray-1b6360206/) Design by Flamingo Arts (https://flamingo-arts.com/) Music by Guilherme Bernardes on Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/users/guilhermebernardes-24203804/)
Exclusive interview, telling the whole story of Celine's Salon and the magnificent lady behind it!
Just in time for the weekend! ☺️🧡📙 ‘The concept of wellness and well-being is a funny one. It’s fascinating that a multi-billion industry has been erected on the premise of feeling not-sick. Feeling well ought to be our natural state; instead it’s just one more thing we have to work hard for. Moreover we’ve often lifted an eyebrow at the cost of some of these procedures and gadgets that promise to improve our lives… Our mag is free, and the methods we prescribe are cheap as chips, with not a fad in sight. In this issue we swerve the mushy trend-speak and give juice cleanses a miss. There’s nothing wrong with them, but we wanted to look at new ways of making well-being possible. By February some of you might have begun to lose momentum. We’re here as a pick-me-up. To everyone else, we want to be a joyful, smiling and kind reminder that feeling good should be an all-year thing. Here’s to life in full colour; here’s to WELL-BEING.’ Grab your copy of our new mini mag, avaliable at selected partner venues, co-working spaces, boutiques, bars or by request. #london #wellbeing #wellness #welovemags #magculture #plantbased #currentlyreading #bookstagram
