When it comes to listening to music, there is nothing worse than a poor quality sound. Too “tinny”, “hollow” or depleted volume; there are a plethora of issues that can arise when you come to turn up your favourite music up to the max. Many of these problems tend to arise in portable speakers, the
Is it just us or is finance getting easier? TGJ was thrilled last week when the chancellor unveiled his budget and we realised we aren’t quite as screwed as we used to be. Hooray! Britain is growing, stocks are up and the apocalypse has been postponed due to weather. However, this isn’t a general trend
During these cold days and even colder nights there is no image more perfect than that of settling down with a glass of red, cosying up on the sofa beneath cashmere blankets, in front of the fire with a beautiful woman by your side. Unfortunately for most, you have to put the ground work in
This week Twenty Something London give our readers some quirky independent insights into music awards, drink feasts, all-night raves, and much, much more. Bring on the week. Songlines’s music awards 2013 Music, Barbican Leading world music magazine Songlines is bringing the very best global music talent together, gracing the Barbican’s stage for their 2013 Music Awards concert.
Awards season. A time when the famous, glamourous and gifted (sometimes) of the world unite to celebrate, well, each other. What we see if the final product. The tuxedos, dresses, diamonds and botox. What we don’t see is the madness before the awards, the fierce competition for the top brands to have their designs worn
It seems that for Overmarine, bigger really is better. Or at least just as good as. This year, the master yacht group – who has become famous for producing high-performance, open sports yachts – surprised everyone with their evolution to building displacement motor yachts. Overmarine’s Commercial Director Francesco Frediani described, ‘We’ve had a niche in
With November well and truly out of the way, we turn our attention to the master of all grooming woes – the beard. It’s one of those things, isn’t it? In your mind you have that perfect ‘been-up all night, but still looking sexy’ kind of shadow. With your top button undone on a crisp
It’s the festive season and, what can we say, we have come over all sentimental! In celebration, we are giving away Bentley For Men Intense Eau de Parfum (100ml).

It’s three weeks until Christmas, and the fear of present buying is setting in. Previous year’s piles of cashmere sweaters and suede loafers have either been pinched by your sixteen year old son with a growth spurt and expensive taste, or they remain dormant in the corner of an over subscribed wardrobe. So what is
With Christmas inching ever closer there are certain things that we are very happy about. The promise of time off, the no holds barred rules of eating and the fact that Vacheron Constantin now have a store on Old Bond Street. Long have we waited for this luxury and prestigious watch brand to open up
The Summer of 2013 turned out to be a glorious array of fine weather and a very idiotic Met Office. Festivals gleaming with trendsetters and espadrilles, not the usual sign of designer wellies. Like most sensible Brits, I planned a trip abroad to escape what I had expected to be a very miserable few months.
Whether it is contemporary or period, European or American; there continues to be films that are not only visually stunning but those that create a stylish world through the means of costume and set design. Here are some of our favourite from the last fifteen years… The Great Gatsby (2013) Say what you want about
Mayfair, home to the great and good of London; the iconic tailors of Savile Row, the luxury brands of Bond Street, some of the best hotel’s in the world, and an array of Michelin starred restaurants, world famous cocktail bars and private members clubs to boot. There was just one thing missing – a real
Following last night’s tragic death of former South African president and anti-apartheid hero, Nelson Mandela, there has been an outpouring of tributes, stories and memories about the great man. Not only did he transform South Africa’s history but his incredible words and actions inspired the world. We all feel like we know everything about Nelson
In the days leading up to the 25th December, however old we might become, the infamous Christmas List always makes an appearance. Yes, the items on the list might change but the excitement when compiling it always remains. And one staple that never seems to lose appeal is the luxury watch. There is nothing quite
Nothing says love (or lust), like jewellery, so it will come as no surprise that we turn our attention at this time of year to Boodles. Established over 2 centuries ago, the iconic British family jewellers shine as bright as ever still today. So, where better to head to in order to find that perfect
Last month saw the esteemed gun and rifle makers, Purdey, name the winners of their coveted 2013 Game and Conservation Awards. Running since 1999, when James Purdey & Sons took over the annual Game and Conservation Awards established by Laurent-Perrier Champagne (UK) Ltd in 1986, this event celebrates and recognises those who are not only
