Miles Kane Shares His Little Black Book Of London

Interview from Forbes 12.04.22

Musician Miles Kane is the dapper chappy known for his solo music (F.Y.I he has a new album out and a European tour starting this week), being part of The Last Shadow Puppets, and, last but not least, his modish mode.

Miles shares his guide to London, from his favorite watering holes to vintage clothing stores.

Shop: Mr. Start and Nordic Poetry

"For classic menswear, one of my favorites is Mr. Start in Shoreditch, it’s got a John Smedley vibe but with an edge. The fits are fantastic. On a vintage tip I like Nordic Poetry, it has great bits for men and even better stuff for women. I’d say some real gems there."

Bar: Satan’s Whiskers

"Best cocktails bar in London in my opinion. It’s small, sexy and dark with the best drinks. It feels private as everyone has to sit to drink so no one will be banging into you. Sip a killer Martini while it plays old-school hip-hop, it’s just cool basically! Book in advance I’d say."

Boozer: The Sun Tavern

"For me, it’s the best bar in London. lighting is key in my eyes in bars and restaurants, nobody wants to be sat in a dentist when having a bevy or eating! The tav has a rock n roll, New York feel and energy to it in the heart of Bethnal Green! Great friendly staff great tunes, it’s family x"

Stay: Town Hall Hotel

"Great hotel in the heart of Bethnal Green, it’s surrounded by all the cool spots to eat and drink. The apartment-style rooms go down a treat with the warehouse-style interiors. Great restaurant and amazing pool in the gym as well."

Eat: Brutto

"My new favorite Italian in London. It has it all for me, incredible martini, best steaks around and pasta to die for! The pepper steak stew is also incredible it has the vibe of my dream restaurant, it has a mix of Frank Sinatra and The Sopranos vibes, what more could you want!"

Chill out: Paragon Gym

"It may not sound chilling out but to de-stress, paragon gym has been my home for about 7/8 years. It’s a kickboxing gym where I train with Stuart Lawson, a Jedi master and an incredible trainer. He has kept me in shape! Great for one on one sessions or group classes. I love boxing or kickboxing, it has a real family-friendly vibe and has been my second family at times! Good people, give it a shot!"

Music venue: The Moth Club

"For the Northern Soul nights and the Cave Club, it’s hard to find anywhere that plays great music with a dance floor, maybe there is but I don’t know about it? The Moth Club caters to me as once a month they have a Deptford Soul Northern Soul night and Rhys Webb's Cave Club. If you're looking for soul, Motown, rock ‘n’ roll and to cut some shapes, look no further!"

Barbers: Jimmy Slick’s Barbers

"My favorite barbers around is where I go to get my hair done. The best skin head in London, it’s that simple folks! Incredible painted walls floor to ceiling like a psychedelic jungle too. Check it out."

Your favorite place...Victoria Park!

"I’m showing my age now but I love a park. Vicky Park has been good to me, it’s where I go every day pretty much to either run, walk or get a coffee. It’s sorted my head out many times, good energies in there I promise you. There’s a cute little village in the middle of you want to treat yourself."
