Date Inspiration

I appreciate thoughtfulness more than formality, whether that’s something chosen with care, a gesture that makes me smile, or a quiet surprise before or after we meet.

At the moment I’m in the process of buying my dream home, so practical kindnesses are especially appreciated. Some people enjoy gifting experiences or arranging something unexpected, others prefer simplicity. Both are welcome.

My personal Throne wish list is available for discreet online gifting, and gift cards from places I already love, such as John Lewis, Aman, AIRE and Nail’d It Belgravia, are always thoughtful and easy options.

If you enjoy marking an occasion during a date, I have a fondness for classic, understated pieces and things chosen with longevity in mind. I also enjoy Dior J’Adore eau de parfum, quality lingerie, beautiful candles, flowers in rich colours, and very dark organic chocolate.

Shopping together can be just as enjoyable. I like choosing things slowly, and I’m equally happy offering styling suggestions for men if that’s something you’d enjoy while we explore Harrods or Selfridges together.

I tend to prefer places that feel relaxed, well run, and quietly confident rather than anything overly performative. Often the best meals are a short walk from where you’re staying.

For special occasions, I’m drawn to restaurants that value craft and atmosphere. I also enjoy bars where conversation is easy and service is attentive without intrusion.

Many of my favourites offer private or semi-private dining, which adds a layer of discretion and ease. As you might expect, some excellent options are conveniently located within London’s five-star hotels.

I’m always happy to suggest something nearby if you’d prefer to keep plans simple.

If you’re reading this then we probably already agree that good company enhances any experience.

Should you wish to arrange a duo or a larger group dynamic, I can recommend friends and lovers with whom I share genuine chemistry and trust: Amelia Swann, Arabella Blair, Darla Blake, Elle Voss, Emilia Lang, Florence Wilde, Grace Gardiner, Lady Lola, Luke Hardy, Madame Caramel, Margot Alderton, Miss Harriet, Mistress Stone, Nikki Darling, Oz Bigdownunder, Sadie Scott, Scarlett May, Sienna Carlisle‍ and ‍Subby Katie.

Introductions are always mutual and considered, and any multi-person date is approached with the same fairness, discretion and respect as a one-on-one meeting.

I would also love to have the pleasure of meeting Audrey Astor, Cassandra Gray and Sofia Miles, separately or all at once. You could say they are my bucket list ladies!
