We were delighted to welcome Gyles Brandreth back to Auriens to introduce his new book Somewhere, a Boy and a Bear, a biography of A. A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh, who once lived just around the corner from Auriens Chelsea on Mallord Street.
With 2026 marking the centenary of this much-loved character, Gyles shared anecdotes from his life, explored the essence of Pooh’s special philosophy and reflected on the reasons behind his enduring appeal.
At Auriens, our programme of events offers our residents entertainment that inspires, educates, and delights. Gyles’ visit was a perfect example of the vibrant community experiences our residents enjoy.
