From new pop-up stores to great exhibitions – our LMH Luxe List rounds up what’s on our to-do list in London for the month of September…
The Event: Monaco Yacht Show
The Monaco Yacht Show stands as the pinnacle luxury event of the yachting calendar. Returning to Port Hercule for its 34th edition, it showcases a fleet of over 120 superyachts, including nearly 60 world premieres, alongside luxury tenders, advanced water toys and innovations from the world’s most prestigious shipyards. More than a showcase, it is a stage for craftsmanship, design and lifestyle at the highest level. The event brings together yacht owners, designers and collectors from across the globe for four days of exclusive viewings, gala evenings and curated hospitality.
24-27 September, Port Hercule, Monaco
The Exhibition: Marie Antoinette Style
Step into the world of one of history’s most iconic and complex figures at Marie Antoinette Style. This immersive exhibition traces the queen’s enduring influence on fashion, film and design – from 18th-century robes to modern couture. Featuring robes, accessories, personal objets d’art and archival pieces drawn from Versailles and global collections, the invitation is both visual and emotional. Visitors will discover behind-the-scenes restoration stories, rare gowns and multimedia installations that trace the ripple effects of her style into contemporary fashion narratives. It’s an elegantly provocative portrait of royalty, rebellion and the timeless language of luxury.

Each dish is an opulent performance, complemented by an exquisite drinks pairing. This is not merely a meal, it is a celebration of culinary artistry and unbridled creativity.
