Born in the UK, Nebil Gaigi grew up in Tunisia, before his studies took him to Paris, Sheffield and Nottingham, and he eventually landed in London.

Having originally trained as a lawyer, Nebil later carved out a career as a consultant in the City, but he is definitely not your average ‘suit’.

With his love of music + fashion, Nebil’s London is a melting pot of cultures, styles, languages + people – the perfect environment for new independent fashion brands to emerge + intriguing new bar concepts to flourish. At the same time, the city possesses such a wealth of history that there are a ton of fascinating places to explore.

We asked Nebil to narrow down some of his favourite places in the city…

HAPPINESS FORGETS

"This is a special place in Shoreditch, East London. It's quite hidden, underneath an inconspicuous block of offices on Hoxton Square. Head down to the basement where a world of mood lighting, candles, chilled music + (of course) amazing cocktails awaits. And by cocktails we don't mean your average 'Pornstar Martini', we mean 'Frappe Le Sec', 'Tokyo Collins', + 'Jerezana', served by experienced mixologists."

ROSEWOOD HOTEL BAR

"The Rosewood is the place I go to for a quick whisky before making my way to the West End for a night out. The whisky bar is top class, with every brand of whisky you can think of, but most importantly is the décor that makes that drink taste a little different. Think 1930s spy movie, cigar + Homburg hat to match, with a jazz band playing in the background. The Edwardian courtyard is quite the entrance, and there's even a gin garden at the back."

INNS OF COURT

"This place is a true oasis in the middle of the City of London. I always try + take a few strolls through here to enjoy some moments of peace in a city which is continually on ten. The area is made of four Inns: Grays Inn, Lincoln's Inn, Inner Temple + Middle Temple, + is the home of barristers chambers. There is an innate air of calmness + tranquility as you walk around the cobbled streets, surrounded by historic buildings, hidden fountains, gargoyles + calming parks. Literally like stepping into a time warp in the middle of a 21st century city."
