Getting to know London through its food doesn’t always mean chasing the city’s newest restaurants. Sometimes a route of a few streets is enough to see how the city’s food culture is changing. The area from Borough Market to Bermondsey Street is one of the best examples. Emre Onar walks us step by step through this short distance by way of his favourite stops and his own experiences, following a route that begins with coffee and moves from the market stalls to the restaurants, and from there to the calm of Bermondsey Street.

Travel

Holidays shaped by personal preference, lesser-known routes and journeys made for special events look set to be among the defining travel habits of 2027. Recent research shows that travellers’ expectations of a holiday are becoming more varied, and that budget, mood, interests and the search for experiences play a bigger role in travel decisions than they used to.

Held in Istanbul since 2000, the MARKA conference moved abroad for the first time on 13 October, to London’s Design Museum. After a day of fast-paced conversations ranging from running restaurants to architecture, from manufacturing to design, the message was clear: today we measure luxury not by the objects we own but by how they make us feel.

Cappadocia’s unique landscape, Barış Manço’s cultural legacy and the bold colours of contemporary fashion, all in one place. Les Benjamins presented “From Earth to Sky”, the collection celebrating its 15th year, in Gül Vadisi (Rose Valley) in collaboration with Apple. Rooted in Anatolia, this encounter reinterprets fashion’s relationship with culture through the lens of technology and creativity.

Tanrı Misafiri brought the pop-up wave to Istanbul, has brought international names to the city through its guest chef programmes, and turns six this summer. In their kitchen in Hacımimi, we sit down with Cem Balduk, Müge Büyüktalaş and Müge Tüzer to put both pop-up culture and Tanrı Misafiri’s direction on the table.

Born in Japan and now spreading across the big cities of Europe and the US, audiophile bars represent the spread of an analogue culture that puts experience, process and quality ahead of uniformity and fast consumption. One of the current versions of this approach, which brings food, drink and music together, is taproomx in Asmalı Mescit. In this instalment of the “Istanbul from 6 to 6” series, Can Çakmakçı, one of taproomx’s partners, tells us how the feel of vinyl and craft beer took the shape of a place.
