If you're living in JVC (or visiting), you'll most likely need to travel by car or taxi.
The neighbourhood is not attached to a Dubai Metro line, however, it backs onto both Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, making for easy connections to the rest of the city. If you're travelling in rush hour, be sure to allow for a little extra journey time.
There is one bus route serving JVC, the J01, which loops around the area before heading the Mall of the Emirates bus station.

Princess Andre and Rocco Ritchie among Tatler's best dressed for 2025
Princess Andre, who has appeared in reality TV shows alongside her famous mother and father, is the second best-dressed person of 2025, according to fashion and lifestyle magazine Tatler. Rocco Ritchie, an artist who studied at London's Central Saint Martins, is third on the list, with model and socialite Lady Lola Bute and her half-sister, Jazzy De Lisser, joint first. The magazine said 18-year-old Princess has a wardrobe filled with 'Y2K revival hits' and 'is the face of a new generation of British pop culture royalty'. She has more than 760,000 followers on Instagram and made her modelling debut last year with women's fashion company PrettyLittleThing. Rocco, whose mother is US pop star Madonna, is 'impeccably tailored on the red carpet at his father Guy's premieres', according to Tatler. With support from fashion house Giorgio Armani, he put on an exhibition of his works, titled The Tourist, in Paris last year. Also on the list is Swarovski heiress Nadja Swarovski and Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, in fourth and fifth respectively. In sixth place is Bromley footballer and model Omar Sowunmi, and Olympian and daughter of the Princess Royal Zara Tindall is seventh. Completing the list is Prestwold Hall heir George Packe-Drury-Lowe, former tennis player Annabel Croft and internet star Zack Pinsent, who is known for dressing in flamboyant and historical clothing from the 19th century.

Bianca Saunders and Puma bring Jamaican heritage to east London
British-Jamaican designer Bianca Saunders has never been one to follow the obvious path. Known for her thoughtful exploration of identity, masculinity and cultural memory, Saunders now joins forces with sportswear brand Puma to mark Jamaican Independence Day with a three-day pop-up experience in east London. Running from 7 to 10 August at 137A Bethnal Green Road, the event, called 38 Love Lane, is less about product and more about storytelling. Named after a real family address in Jamaica, the space brings together fashion, music, photography, wellness and food to reflect on Caribbean heritage through a contemporary lens. The pop-up builds on Saunders' latest zine, also titled 38 Love Lane, which she developed with Amsterdam-based photographer Kwabena Sekyi Appiah-Nti. The publication delves into Jamaican identity across generations, and the installation acts as its physical counterpart—designed to feel like a home, a gallery, and a gathering place all at once. Set designer Y Lan Lucas, a frequent collaborator of Saunders, has created a space that balances clean minimalism with textured, Caribbean references. Music plays a key role throughout, with DJ Stephanie Okoye curating the daytime playlist, and Donnie Sunshine and Kevin taking over in the evening. For those invited behind the scenes, there are more personal moments. A wellness session led by coach Louis Walcott explores yoga through a Caribbean male perspective. And to close the weekend, Saunders and her mother, Yves, will host an intimate dinner, serving a traditional Jamaican meal—an act of hospitality that turns the space into something closer to a family gathering than a brand event. The pop-up coincides with the release of Puma's H-Street 'Jamaica Pack,' a limited-edition drop celebrating 63 years of Jamaican independence. The collection pays tribute to Puma's long-standing connection to Jamaican athletics, having dressed generations of the country's Olympic stars. At a time when many fashion activations lean heavily on hype, this collaboration between Bianca Saunders and Puma stands apart. It's a reminder that storytelling, when done with care and intention, can be just as powerful as product, and perhaps, more lasting.
