London / Restaurant

Guinness bread!

London / Restaurant

I'm waiting for a vegetarian-friendly event to get the full dining experience, but in the meantime there's wine!

London / Music Venue

The best live jazz band I ever heard was at a packed out night in Brilliant Corners. I was happy to be squashed.

London / Bookstore

Everyone who works at Daunt Books seems to have the answer to any question you might have, watching my large dog carefully navigate their narrow aisles is always fun too.

London / Architecture

There's room for anyone who appreciates architecture, ideas and craftsmanship in these four interlocking houses.

London / Art Centre

Escape the Eurocentric vortex here.

London / Cinema

One or two screenings a day, a few days a week; less is more at Close Up. The library is a great resource too, for work or pleasure.

London / Bar

My friend Guillaume opened the swankiest rooftop in London that still feels like a house party. Louie is a French-Creole restaurant, live jazz music venue and oyster bar too.

London / Library

It's a members-only library but you might be granted access with a research request. The writer's room is great but there's a few special, hidden corners among the bookshelves to tuck yourself away in.

London / Restaurant

A perfect place for any occasion - or no occasion at all - every table feels like the best one.

London / Bookstore

I trust owner and director Tamsin Clark completely with what I could and should be reading.

London / Museum

Get on the list for tickets and surprise someone who will appreciate the 'village of books' upstairs in particular.

Paris / Art

I've interviewed curator and founder Marie Madec a couple of times now; she represents their contemporary artists with a dedication and enthusiasm that's infectious.

Paris / Bar

If you need somewhere to contemplate leaving your lover, go alone, and if you don't mind them not being there to share something sublime in a glass or a dish, you have your answer.

Paris / Gallery

The gallery and bookshop never disappoint a curious mind, but the café is worth the trip alone.

Paris / Art Director

Graphic designer, Illustrator and Myopic from the age of 2½ years, i have a particular view of our world, trying to play as well with shapes and words. Besides my personal practice of drawing and painting, I collaborate with women's magazines as well as street-wear brands - house publishing or cultural associations - while animating my small house publishing « LIMO » or workshops for adults and children.

Founder of The Anonymous Project and Filmmaker. Slide photo junkie and advertising director.

Neil Atherton is a Paris-based photographer and curator from the UK. He has called Paris home for over a decade and still speaks French with an English accent. His personal photography is based almost uniquely on the use of out-of-date film and explores the physical effects of time on memory.
