Skilled, heritage craftsmanship is alive and well in London today. In this special issue, we pay tribute to the talented individuals behind the luxury goods we enjoy – from glassware and wallpaper to leather bags and jewellery. And then there are the capital’s ‘changemakers’, those who are working towards a brighter future through charitable initiatives and education. We salute the coffee-shop owners, interior designers, tailors, restaurateurs and more who are making a difference.
