Wax London expands retail presence in the Gleneagles, Scotland
Located with the iconic Gleneagles Hotel, the Victorian-style retail arcade houses a range of luxury boutiques including Pringle, Edamame, and Daughter. From July onwards, the Retail Arcade offers an extended range of Wax London's signature menswear pieces, offering a broader assortment of styles, designs, and colours.
The retail expansion at Glenagles Retail Arcade is part of the brand's expansion plan for the United Kingdom, which sees Wax London strengthen its physical presence in key markets. Offering visitors and locals alike the opportunity to discover the brand in person, the expansion in Scotland comes two months after Wax London entered the US market through an exclusive residency with Los Angeles retailer The Optimist, marking its first physical presence in the country.
Co-founded in 2015 by Tom Holmes, who also serves as designer to the brand, Wax London is inspired by global travels and British heritage. The brand currently operates three retail locations in London, its home base, and first ventured into retail in 2020 after previously focusing on building its presence via wholesale and online sales.

The ‘underrated' neighbourhood Londoners are flocking to for £20,000 discounts
Whether it's an independent coffee spot, a microbrewery or a record shop, there are a few ways to identify an increasingly trendy area. Tucked away between Crystal Palace and Anerley, Penge in South London was shaped as a Victorian suburb after the railways were built. Fast forward to 2025, though, and it's one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the UK. It's notably cheaper than its slightly bougier neighbour (to the tune of almost £20,000), making it a solid choice for those wanting to soak up the vibes of Crystal Palace without shelling out quite to the same extent. Earlier this year, Penge even made it onto The Sunday Times' list of the coolest neighbourhoods in the UK, recommended for 'under-the-radar Londoners' for its abundance of independent coffee shops, flourishing high street, and rooftop art gallery. So, if you're looking for new digs with plenty of character that have a trendy vibe with a slightly lower spending requirement, Penge could be the one. You can access completely fee-free mortgage advice with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages, a partner of Metro. Customers benefit from: – Award winning service from the UK's leading mortgage broker – Expert advisors on hand 7 days a week – Access to 1000s of mortgage deals from across the market Unlike many mortgage brokers, L&C won't charge you a fee for their advice. Find out how much you could borrow online Mortgage service provided by London & Country Mortgages (L&C), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registered number: 143002). The FCA does not regulate most Buy to Let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Penge might increasingly cool, but the house prices aren't necessarily super affordable. While the UK average currently rests at £268,400, the going rate in SE20 over the last year has been £455,689 – almost £200,000 more expensive. Ouch. However, there's some respite to be found in the fact that it's a little cheaper than its undoubtedly bougie neighbour, Crystal Palace, where properties over the last year have sold for around £474,802. So, if you're willing to live a seven-minute drive down the road, you could be saving yourself almost £20,000. It's all roughly the same, right? When it comes to renting, nearby Anerley was recently named the cheapest London station to live near, with average costs for tenants coming in at £1,400 per month. Yes, it's zone 4, but it's only 32 minutes from central London, located along the Windrush Line and connected to London Bridge. It also fares relatively well compared to the rest of the capital, as average rents come in at £2,235 per month, according to the ONS. If a coffee, a pastry and a walk is your idea of heaven, Penge could be just the ticket. There are flat whites aplenty to be found at Brown & Green Life, Mabel, and Carnival Coffee Roasters. Chatsworth Bakehouse famously serves up focaccia, cheesecake, buns, and pizza, and it was even hailed by TikToker @kristabelplummer as having the 'best sandwiches in London.' Thirsty for a pint? Grab yourself a tipple at local watering holes The Alexandra, Southey Brewing, and the Goldsmiths Arms. A little further afield, Gipsy Hill Brewing Company is a favourite among southeast Londoners, set in an industrial estate. And if you're a fan of a market, Crystal Palace Park Market is held every Sunday, while Maple Road Market hosts local food, as well as arts and crafts stalls, vintage traders, and even face painting for the little ones. Locals are completely enamoured with Penge, and over on the r/London Subreddit, @tatilujanr previously described it as 'very peaceful.' 'Penge is SUCH an underrated area,' @ooft54 added, noting that they're 'torn between wanting to shout about how good it is and keeping it a secret.' @CautiousSir9457 lives between Sydenham and Penge, and adores it as it has 'plenty of parks and independent shops, but [it's] not too hipster-y.' 'As someone who lived in many different parts of London over the years, that corner of SE was by far my favourite and definitely where I'd choose to live again,' @Even_Pitch221 added, joking that before the 'tentacles of gentrification' crept in Penge was deemed as having 'no glamour' and being 'deeply unfashionable.' Don't let South London-haters convince you that it's a poorly connected area just because there isn't a Tube station: Penge has plenty of transport links going on. More Trending Penge East is connected to the Southeastern train service, with the service to Victoria taking 18 minutes (or five stops).

Brits warned about Brexit rule that imposes 3 year ban
Going away is exciting, but before setting off, it's important for anyone planning to visit certain countries to be well-informed. This is especially true in the post-Brexit era, which has seen the introduction of new regulations in recent years. "Brexit has ruined this country, and now the majority of Britons thinks so too." RT if you are that — BladeoftheSun (@BladeoftheS) June 24, 2025 Before the UK left the EU, British passport holders could enter countries without needing to get their travel document stamped, and were allowed to stay for any duration. However, under current rules, UK travellers are limited to a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180 days in any Schengen Area country. The Schengen area is made up of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden, as well as four non-EU nations: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Additionally, travellers' passports must have a "date of issue" within the last 10 years before their arrival date and an "expiry date" that is at least three months after their planned departure from the Schengen area. Recommended reading: According to Foreign Office advice, failing to comply with these regulations when visiting Spain or other Schengen countries, such as Greece, France, and Italy, may result in a lengthy ban. The Foreign Office guidance for Greece warns: "If you're travelling to other Schengen countries as well, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day visa-free limit. Visits to Schengen countries within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days." "If you overstay the 90-day visa-free limit, you may be banned from entering Schengen countries for up to 3 years."

East Lothian hotel car park trees put under protection order
Dozens of trees surrounding a hotel car park have been placed under a protection order after the site was put up for sale. East Lothian Council officers moved to protect the trees at the Marine Hotel North Berwick, in a bid to ensure any future owner would not be able to chop them down. A report to councillors confirming Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) had been approved for the woodlands, said a decision to put part of the land on the market had sparked the intervention. It said: 'It was brought to the attention of East Lothian Council that part of the car park for the Marine Hotel was for sale. On assessment of the site, it was noted there were significant trees within and adjacent to the site. 'Confirmation of this order has safeguarded the amenity value of these and other significant mature and semi-mature trees that form the landscape setting for Cromwell Road. These trees are now protected under planning law and cannot be legally pruned or removed without the prior agreement of the council.' The report said the trees were an integral part of the historic Victorian streetscape with a number of them appearing to date back to the original building dates and make a 'significant contribution to the visual amenity and overall character of this part of North Berwick.' It added: 'If these trees were lost, it would impact significantly on this area of North Berwick and represent a significant loss to the visual amenity of this part of North Berwick.' Among the trees protected under the order are a mixed age woodland which is mainly made up of sycamore with horse chestnut, lime and rowan trees lining the car park also covered. The report said the orders ensured that any future work involving the trees would have to be brought to the council for approval. It said: 'It does not prevent the owners of the trees from applying to the council for permission to do tree management work if necessary in the future. 'However, the TPO would give the council control over such proposals and this control would be used to ensure tree cover is retained in this area.'
