The holidays are over and the City feels alive. Whether you’re returning to uni or back at the office, start September properly at The Royal Exchange.

The beginning of a new work year, September is a time for dreams, ambitions — and getting on with things. So to help you hit the books, we’ve curated a selection of the exquisite diaries and planners that our luxury brands have released. With pieces by Fortnum’s, Aspinal Of London and Montblanc, scheduling never looked so delightful — just what you need to set things in order for the months ahead.

Freshen up with a trio of scents to keep you grounded and revitalised, from the aroma of a late-summer allotment to that of a Japanese forest. Add some shine to your professional wardrobe with a centrepiece accessory from our jewellers and watchmakers. And rejuvenate yourself at the newest addition to The Royal Exchange family: we are thrilled to have Dr. David Jack arrive with skincare solutions tailored specifically to our City clientele.

We’re also celebrating Korean Thanksgiving with Jang — and welcoming Sartoria Dei Duchi’s Master Tailor, who will be at the brand’s boutique on the 16th and 17th of September for an extra special bespoke service. Book your appointment here.

Finally, it’s time to start booking your Christmas parties: swing into the season at Engel, enjoy the setting of our iconic central courtyard at Fortnum & Mason or make merry in the vaults beneath at The Libertine.
