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 .

I have always admired Joanna Wood’s instinctive flair for interior design. Whether it is a small update or a full project, she creates homes that feel lived in and loved, never spaces that feel like showcase houses.

Her work blends traditional and contemporary elements with incredible care and attention to detail, always balancing beauty with everyday practicality. A true believer in craftsmanship, Joanna works closely with skilled makers to create timeless, bespoke interiors.

Cape Cobra creates some of the most elegant exotic leather accessories and handbags, all made to order in the colours and finishes you love. I first discovered this South African brand through a friend with impeccable taste and was immediately drawn to their extraordinary craftsmanship. 👜 Since 1972 they have produced timeless pieces with responsibly sourced skins and meticulous attention to detail, even manufacturing for global luxury houses like Oscar de la Renta and Tiffany.

I love their small wooden handle bag, the crossbody styles and their beautiful totes, and the interchangeable straps add such a chic touch. Email them to explore options and discover more on www.almostessential.com

Sibylle de Baynast captures true luxury through individuality and hand engraved craftsmanship. Her French inspired, London made pieces feel personal and timeless, from her signature pendants to multi rings and charm filled bracelets. She created a family crest medallion for my son’s 18th and it came out beautifully, a real lifelong treasure. 💎

As we step into a new year, I can think of few people better to guide a reset than Terrence The Teacher. I have known Terrence for many years and have always admired his genuine care for the people he works with. Reconnecting with him through his mindfulness teaching feels especially powerful at this time of fresh starts and new intentions.

Terrence combines mindfulness, NLP and clinical hypnotherapy to help people access their own inner resources and create lasting change. His scientific based approach to wellbeing makes his work both grounding and empowering.

If you are setting intentions for the year ahead, discover Terrence The Teacher via Almost Essential at www.almostessential.com

I love the Marais Willow Insulated Carafe for its effortless blend of beauty and function. The handwoven willow straw and stainless steel vessel feel timeless and remind me of the classic Hermès straw pieces. It keeps tea or coffee warm and looks beautiful on any table. 🫖
