Almost Essential London

Almost Essential London Where I share with you my valuable recommendations of London finest services and unique gifts

Almost Essential was set up in April 2012, when I saw a gap in the London market for a curated selection of peerless, realistically priced services which have been tried and tested to satisfy discerning people requests. Almost Essential is a unique concept created for the London community of like minded people, to facilitate the booking of my selection of the finest service providers at the best possible price. As a former executive search consultant, searching for the best is part of my DNA. I personally test all the services featured on the site or rely on recommendations of people I trust because of their discerning taste. It would be really helpful if you could review the services you use, to make sure that your experience is as good as mine. As I continuously look for and test new services, all your requests for specific services are welcome; and dont hesitate to share any of the services you can't live without! Whilst searching for services, I have also come across interesting "finds" which I am excited to share with you. They are wonderful gifts, some useful, some really extravagant; They can all be bought here via the Almost Essential website. Most of these products are exclusively available on Almost Essential with discounts I have specially negotiated for you .

Anya Hindmarch has long been one of my go-to brands for beautifully crafted leather travel and bag accessories. Her pieces combine playful British design with timeless practicality - each one impeccably made and instantly recognisable.

What I admire most is her commitment to sustainability. Season after season, she introduces new lines of eco-conscious accessories that are as chic as they are responsible - modern classics with a conscience.

Whether you’re treating yourself or looking for the perfect gift, Anya’s collection offers something special for everyone - men and women of all ages.

I’ve shared a few of my favourites below, but do take a moment to browse her full collection online - it’s full of irresistible pieces that bring a touch of wit and sophistication to every day.
