Aviator Hotel – have jet need bed?
So, you’ve flown into town (OK, Farnborough) on your darling little jet, but before you nip off you need a bit of shut eye and a good meal.
The Aviator hotel is just about to plug that whole in a very lucrative market. Opening imminently, the hotel (founded by Ken McCulloch of Malmaison Hotels fame) will feature 19 luxury Sky Studios (suites to you and I) as well as 150 guestrooms. Each is streamlined and as sleek as that jet of yours. The hotel also features a restaurant: The Brasserie, overseen by ex-Galvin man Allan Picket and the Sky Bar.
Rooms from an almost laughably reasonable £195. Visit www.aviatorfarnborough.co.uk for full details.
New Gentlemen’s Tonic store
Mayfair men’s grooming salon Gentlemen’s Tonic is set to open a new store in the heart of the City at the Citypoint Club on 7 June.
The bespoke salon offers an extensive range of treatment sand specialised services from rejuvenating facials – one hangover-busting treatment is called The Hemmingway – and deep tissue massages to traditional barbershop services such as a wet shave and haircut. Why not book a Father and Son Haircut and Finish for Father’s Day – Dad enjoys a complimentary Bloody Mary, while son watches cartoons (£56).
Also look out in Harvey Nichols for their stylish Babassu and Bergamot range, a recently-launched skin- and haircare line. The range includes foaming cleansers and body washes, hand balms and aftershave creams, featuring naturally sourced goodies such as Sicilian lemon and Indonesian patchouli.

Miss Lala’s sexy new lingerie
Miss Lala Presents is the first own-range lingerie from Miss Lala’s Boudoir. The bras, singlets and knickers are all very 1950s playful, with just the right blend of kitsch and comfort.
Scarlett Johansson, a big Miss Lala Presents fan, loves the label’s shorts, which she refers to as ‘cute little bloomers’.
