Tricker McKinsey & Company Metropolitan Restaurants Equatorial Biofuels plc Roderick Charles Hawes & Curtis Tramp CHRISTMAS EVENT IN JERMYN STREET Last year Jermyn Street hosted an excellent evening for their customers and the readers of Harpers Bazaar and Esquire Magazine, in both of which the Association had a double-page spread. It was a really good evening starting with a special party for the magazine readers at Quaglino’s and they then moved on to the shops who provided hospitality and entertainment. As always it is disappointing that more retailers don’t take full advantage of such promotional events. We are trying planning another such event for this year on THURSDAY 6 DECEMBER.

Visit the site at www.jermynstreet.net PR AND PUBLICITY PR REPORT FROM KATIE THOMAS, IDENTITY PR One of the main functions of the Association is to achieve maximum appropriate publicity for the Members of the Association, and the street as a whole. Katie Thomas of Identity PR is now responsible to the PR for the street. During the year she, and the Association Chairman, Henry Togna, have escorted groups of journalists, mostly from overseas, along the street and into a number of the shops. A considerable amount of editorial has resulted from these visits and it is something that will be continued. Overseas Publicity Identity hosted a number of key international press this Summer arranging the accommodation and itinerary and accompanying the journalist for the duration of the stay. Each article is discussed and agreed prior to the visit and the itinerary arranged accordingly.

  • Mayfair Area Guide
    Mayfair Area Guide Living in Mayfair • Mayfair encompasses the area situated between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Park Lane, in the very heart of London’s West End, and adjacent to St James’s and its glorious Royal parks to the south. Overview • For over 300 years, Mayfair and St James’s have provided grand homes, luxury goods and services to the aristocracy. The area is characterised by its splendid period architecture, beautiful shop fronts, leading art galleries, auction houses, wine merchants, cosmopolitan restaurants, 5 star hotels and gentleman’s clubs. Did You Know • Mayfair is named after an annual 15 day long May Fair that took place on the site that is now Shepherd Market, from 1686 until 1764. • There is a disused tube station on Down Street that used to serve the Piccadilly line. It was closed in 1932 and was later used by Winston Churchill as an underground bunker during the Second World War. • No. 50 Berkeley Square is said to be the most haunted house in London, so much so that it will give any psychic an electric shock if they touch the external brickwork. • Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was born in a house on Bruton Street and lived in Mayfair during her infancy. Her future husband Prince Philip had his stag night at The Dorchester. • The oldest outdoor statue in London is located above the entrance of Sotheby’s on New Bond Street. The Ancient Egyptian effigy of the lion-goddess Sekmet is carved from black igneous rock and dates to around 1320 BC.

They blurred the boundaries between the social and professional sphere, to the point that many used the club as hub for networking and for providing opportunities. The gentlemen’s clubs of London have been examined within gender studies and in studies on social culture, where emphasis has been placed on its role in elite and middle-class society and its influence on gender and class inequality.

It is populated by the wealthy and occasionally, perhaps, the not-so-wealthy; however, it would appear that most night-time visitors are not spending with an eye to their budget, at least as indicated by their transport choices. There is a preference for transport by Black Cabs and private cars: not Night Buses, the Night Tube, or even minicabs. This is very non- typical of nightlife patron behaviour in London. There are few licensed premises marketed straightforwardly as bars or nightclubs, but many restaurants with high alcohol (wet-)sales themes and that offer disc jockey entertainment and spaces to dance.

  • Running Wild the Arts Club 27 February – 19
    Running Wild The Arts Club 27 February – 19 May 2018 Private view: 26 February 2018, 6-8pm Eric Fischl, Christian Retreat, 1980, oil on canvas, 162.6 x 243.8cm, Courtesy Skarstedt The Arts Club is pleased to present an exhibition which includes key masters in the re-establishment of painting in the 1980s, united in their criticism of media and socio-political climate at the time. The exhibition coincides with a solo exhibition of new works by Eric Fischl at Skarstedt London from 1 March - 26 May 2018. Perhaps no era is so instantly associated with brash wealth, conservative values, American confidence and rampant consumerism as the 1980s; Reagan-omics fueled bullish markets and unrestrained profit, and the middle classes continued flocking to the suburbs in search of the American Dream. As advertisements, glossies and society magazines fed visions of champagne-fueled parties and non-stop glamour, artists turned to the peculiar discontents, anxieties and profound ennui lurking beneath this lifestyle, most notably in painting, a medium resurrected after falling out of favour in the 1970s. Running Wild examines the boisterous re-emergence of painting as a popular medium in the wake of the dominance of conceptual, sculptural and ephemeral practices in the 1970s. Within that sphere, the exhibition focuses on figuration and its deftness in pinpointing anxiety about hyper-consumerism and suburbia. The key painters in the exhibition include Eric Fischl, whose psychologically charged depictions of suburbia draw on his dysfunctional childhood in the wealthy peripheries of New York; and David Salle, who collaged together images from pop-art to historic paintings and abstraction, pastiching and creating a post-modern dialogue.
