Country pub of the week: the Angel on the Bridge, Henley-on-Thames
Pubs are keepers, protectors, collectors. Mostly of memories — walk in and there they are, behind the bar with the optics. The Angel, a pretty, black-and-white beamed Georgian place that stands tall beside the Thames, is full of them — there are the regulars here, the ones who only stop in before and after the Regatta, those on a weekend away. The pub's position is its everything, which is what keeps people coming back. Under hanging baskets blooming with petunias and begonias, benches line the waterfront, as if at any moment they might tip in. People have been known to. Views stretch down the river, full with cruisers, and sometimes a parade of Dunkirk boats. The beer is fine, with good Brakespear ales, and the wine list to the point. Food is fine. But really, you're here to make memories. Thameside, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 1BH,

Why Travelers Are Heading To London For Superclinic Skincare
Welcome to a new era of wellness, a term that is no longer defined by simple treatments, such as massages and facials, but rather a holistic concept that, these days, means a 360° approach to how we look and feel. What's more, the appetite for 'deep dives' into the culture of wellness has become a top reason as to why people travel in 2025, with wellness tourism reported as one of the fastest growing sectors in the industry. The 2024 Wellness Tourism Initiative report, by the Global Wellness Institute, pinpoints a 'diagnostic boom in wellness travel' as a major trend for this year. This surge, says the report, reflects 'a growing preference for tailored and proactive health approaches among travellers. Many health and wellness operators now offer comprehensive diagnostic assessments alongside traditional wellness activities, enhancing the overall visitor experience.' Inside the HVN in Knightsbridge, one of London's 'super clinics'. (Credit: AVC) The report continues: 'These offerings empower individuals to gain profound insights into their health status and make informed lifestyle choices while indulging in the rejuvenating benefits of travel. As travellers increasingly prioritize preventive healthcare and holistic well-being, the diagnostic booms in wellness travel are set to continue to reshape the tourism industry by seamlessly blending medical expertise with luxury hospitality.' When it comes to the wellness scene in London, this couldn't be truer. The city has witnessed a growth in state-of-the-art clinics and wellness hubs, of late, that are offering personalised, cutting-edge treatments all with diagnosis at their heart. The luxury club Surrenne, at the five-star hotel The Emory, for instance, is focusing on longevity with functional diagnostics ranging from cardiovascular and hormone tests to microbiome mapping. While the The HVN in Knightsbridge puts personalisation as its priority and offers everything from acupuncture to aesthetic treatments. In fact, the field of aesthetics has grown to become one of London's big draws for wellness travelers, with a host of expert names, working out of Harley Street and from their own clinics across the capital. Perhaps, unexpectedly, luxury hotels are also catching on to the trend with big name properties offering the latest in skincare by partnering with well-respected aesthetic doctors to offer guests scientific-led treatments. The Langham is one of London's top hotels which has collaborated with a leading aesthetic doctor, Dr Soni. (credit: AVC) The Corinthia hotel in Whitehall, for instance has collaborated with The London Regenerative Institute, which has opened up at its ESPAlife spa. Founded by renowned plastic surgeons Mr Tunc Tiryaki and Dr Steve Cohen, the clinic offers restorative aesthetic treatments that enhance longevity. While at The Lanesborough Club and Spa, guests can book in for 'advanced aesthetic' treatments, such as Soft Wave or Exosome facials, with Dr Galyna, an award-winning aesthetic doctor and wellness expert. Dr Soni's clinic at The Langham hotel offers the latest in aesthetic and holistic treatments. (Credit: Rebecca Searle) Dr Aswin Soni, a UK and US trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon (and the founder and owner of The Soni Clinic in Ascot) is the expert at hand at The Langham's Chuan Spa. Known for championing 'gentle rejuvenation' when it comes to anti-ageing treatments, his client-list is full to bursting with A-listers, who arrive for his 'light touch', undetected at the luxury hotel via a private entrance to his consulting room. Having studied at Imperial College, London, and trained in plastic surgery at Cornell in NYC, John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and Royal Marsden Hospital in London, Dr Soni brings a medical approach and advanced know-how to his procedures, which vary from polynucleotides injectables to dermal fillers, with a focus on natural-looking and subtle results. With a background in plastic surgery, Dr Soni brings a science-led approach to skincare. (Credit: Rebecca Searle) 'It's not about changing how anyone looks,' he says. 'It's all about enhancing. A big part of my job is the consultation. I never give an opinion on what I think needs to be changed, because it is not about me. I listen and ask questions and then we come up with a plan that is bespoke for each of my clients.' Being based in a central London hotel, many of Dr Soni's clients are, in fact, frequent travelers (as well as high profile names), and he has adapted his approach to treat the effects that long-haul travel can have on their skin. 'Patients who travel a lot have more dehydrated skin in general, as there is lower humidity on planes which leads to skin dryness,' he says. 'Dehydrated skin leads to more fine lines and wrinkles, issues with pores, and changes to the texture and quality of skin.' The Alumier Aqua Infusion Mask is a must-have for travelers, according to Dr Soni. (credit: Alumier) He continues: 'I always tell my clients to use a hydrating moisturiser when they are flying and, if they can, to take a hydrating sheet mask to use on board. AlumierMD Aqua Infusion Mask is my secret must-have when I am flying. You simply apply it like a moisturiser, but it infuses the skin with deep hydration.' London's current spike in wellness offerings has been described in a recent issue of Harpers Bazaar as 'the rise of the superclinic' with the 'new generation of luxurious cosmetic centres here to cater for a discerning consumer for whom tweakments are as normal as a dental check-up.' Travel and wellness go hand in hand, says Dr Soni. (Credit: Rebecca Searle) Dr Soni agrees that the landscape in the capital city has changed. 'It certainly feels like an exciting time to be working here,' he says. 'What's more, the narrative within the aesthetic industry has aso evolved over the past few years. Patients no longer want a 'quick fix' but are focusing on long term skin health and quality. It feels more holistic, rather than surface level. As providers, we are not just thinking about what patients will look like in the next few months but, instead, it's more about the next few years.' 'A big development of late has been regenerative injectables, with collagen biostimulators, such as Sculptra by Galderma, and Plinest HPT polynucleotides by Dermafocus, at the forefront of this movement. The worlds of aesthetics and wellness have truly merged.' Sulptra gives a healthy-looking, youthful result. (Credit: Sculptra) An 'alternative' to filler, Sculptra is a regenerative injectable that helps stimulate your own natural collagen production to smooth facial wrinkles and improve skin tightness, revealing a 'refreshed-looking' you. Dr Soni explains: 'After the age of 20, we lose about 1% of collagen per year. Sculptra is the first and original poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) facial injectable that targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of ageing due to collagen loss, gradually helping restore skin structure and volume.' Also in demand, says Dr Soni, is Dermafocus—a combination injectable which combines HPT polynucleotides with a skin booster. 'You get the regenerative effects from the polynucleotides, which includes collagen and elastin stimulation, as well as the hydration from the hyaluronic acid, so it is an all-round winner.' The Soni Clinic is a hub for those looking for subtle and natural skincare treatments. (Credit: AVC) 'At times, the aesthetics industry has had a bad rep,' says Dr Soni. 'That is mostly down to bad practitioners and horror stories when things go wrong. But, just like with any true luxury experience—including travel—it is all about a personalised, finessed approach, you can say the same for skincare. My advice is to choose your practitioner wisely.' 'At the moment, there is so much innovation going on within the world of skincare and London is at the heart of that. Many science-backed brands are really innovating and researching at an incredible rate. As the trends change towards collagen stimulation, and the health and quality of skin, certain brands are staying ahead, and innovating with thoughtful and innovative peptides, unique antioxidant formulations, and pioneering approaches to sunscreen. It is an industry on the rise and one that is at the forefront of science—the rockbed of the wellness industry, if you like. After all, if you look good, you will feel good.'

Everything to know about Turnberry, Scotland, home of Trump golf course
President Donald Trump landed in Scotland on Friday for a five-day trip, checking in at his golf resorts in Turnberry and Aberdeen while also discussing trade with British and Scottish leaders. Air Force One flew to Glasgow Prestwick Airport (GPA), which is about 50 miles from Turnberry. Over seven million passengers traveled through the airport in 2023, according to GPA's website. Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire has three separate golf courses, with the first initially laid out by the legendary Willie Fernie, golf pro and course architect. The Ailsa Course is named after an ancient and uninhabited volcanic island, Ailsa Craig, set across from the property. The Ailsa Course is ranked among the world's top 10 greatest golf courses, according Golf Digest and other sources. The hotel was initially called Turnberry Station Hotel, given its proximity to a railway in 1905, according to Historic Environment Scotland (HES). The Glasgow and South Western Railway also purchased the golf course, which first opened in 1901. During World War I, the hotel served as both a hospital and housing facilities for a training airfield built around the hotel, according to HES. Post-war Turnberry became a luxury hotel once again, with various owners. The Trump Organization eventually bought it in 2014, renaming the hotel Trump Turnberry. On Saturday, President Trump played a round of golf at the course. On the coast is the Turnberry Lighthouse, built in 1873. It stands nearly eight feet high. The Turnberry golf course has hosted four Open Championships, most recently in 2009. Turnberry held the legendary match between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus during the 1977 British Open — with Watson winning by a single stroke, according to the R&A. Trump Turnberry's 19th-hole restaurant bears the name Duel in the Sun, which the iconic match has been dubbed. On the coast is the Turnberry Lighthouse, which was built in 1873. It stands nearly eight feet high with 76 steps to the top, according to the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB). The lighthouse marks the most dangerous part of the Ayrshire coast near Bristo Rock, which was "responsible for many wrecks," according to NLB. Also in Turnberry are the ruins of the Turnberry Castle, adjacent to the lighthouse and golf course. The castle is known as the possible birthplace of Robert the Bruce, who became the King of Scotland. In Aberdeenshire, another location in Scotland, Trump International Scotland is situated on the coastline of the North Sea. The course stretches 7,428 yards and was designed by Martin Hawtree. President Trump is participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside his son Eric Trump for the opening of the second course at Aberdeen. The president told reporters on Friday that Scottish actor Sean Connery, known for his role as James Bond, played a part in helping start the course. "Sean Connery helped get me the permits. If it weren't for Sean Connery, we wouldn't have those great courses," said the president. Scotland appears to hold special significance for Trump. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, was born and raised in Scotland before she moved to Queens, New York. He dedicated his club in Aberdeen to her after breaking ground in 2023 and named an 18-round course the MacLeod Course. He is also reported to have created a memorial garden to his mother at the resort. Caitlin McFall of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.
