Walpole and the French Chamber of Great Britain, in partnership with Spring Studios, are delighted to launch the second edition of the London Luxury Think Tank.

What to expect in 2019. One thing you can safely predict for 2019 is that it will be noisy. America will start season two of The Trump Show, in which the volume will rise as a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives squares up against the tweeter-in-chief. In Britain, we will hear the roar of recriminations as Brexit turns out not to deliver its fanciful promises.

From Valentine's Day to Christmas, regular readers of the Digest will know we like to highlight how Britain's luxury brands celebrate the seasons. If you have any special gifts, events or activities planned for Mother's Day or Easter (or Springtime in general), please do get in touch.
