02 : 12 : 2015 Safari : London : City Guide

London – As the year draws to a close, LS:N Global turns its eye to the UK’s capital city for its latest Safari.

  • London continues its race to become the best city in the world with a raft of new retail and hospitality openings
  • Whole-system Thinking, Creative Phygital and The Optimised Self are just some of the trends on display

In our London 2015 Safari, we look at the capital city through the lens of our trends, identifying the best new openings in retail, restaurants and culture.

We observe how The Convergence Economy has become firmly entrenched in London’s retail hotspots, how Optimised Self attitudes of wellness have taken hold and how Whole-system Thinking has captured the imagination of urbanites eager to consume responsibly. We discover the cocktail establishments that are Raising the Bar and examine the installations and spaces indulging our need for Sensory Splurge and Creative Phygital.

The Big Picture

For the best openings in London over the past year, see our London 2015 Safari.
