Psst! Muddy&#8217;s been told multi-talented musician and author Paloma Faith has joined forces with <a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/originals/the-magical-music-tour-of-london-guided-by-paloma-faith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GetYourGuide</a> to create a A Magical Music Tour of London, which will be led by the pop star in person. From Wiltons, the city&#8217;s oldest music hall, to the secrets of the Kit Kat Club and Paloma&#8217;s favourite vinyl shop (Flashback Records on Brick Lane FYI), it&#8217;s going to be a total immersion in the London music scene. You even get to eat some East End delicacies like, err, jellied eel with the Hackney-raised star. Want in? Simply <a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/originals/the-magical-music-tour-of-london-guided-by-paloma-faith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">enter here</a> to be in with a chance of joining the tour on 21 November.

Supermodel Jourdan Dunn was in South Kensington recently to join a panel on seasonal change hosted by luxury Thai wellness retreat <a href="https://rakxawellness.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RAKxa</a>. Muddy was invited along and heard the model mum chat with nutritionist <a href="https://london.muddystilettos.co.uk/life/people/five-minutes-with-rose-ferguson/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rosemary Ferguson</a> about loving solo trips, taking ten minutes out of the daily grind for herself (morning and evening) and dealing with stress in a unique way. &#8220;I don&#8217;t do stress, it doesn&#8217;t suit me,&#8221; revealed the model. &#8220;Whatever the problem is it&#8217;s usually not that deep, so I ignore the stress because it&#8217;s so bad for you mentally and physically.&#8221; Muddy vows to try this technique while getting the kids ready for school in the morning.

Did you know <a href="https://www.thetwentytwo.com/london/restaurant-bar/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Twenty Two</a>, a hush-hush private members&#8217; club on Grosvenor Square where the likes of Jeff Bezos and Kylie Jenner hang, has a restaurant open to the public? That&#8217;s right, now you too can waft around an Edwardian townhouse, quaff cocktails and scoff Devonshire crab, avocado and samphire made my head chef Alan Christie (Arbutus), just like Holly Willoughby and friends did recently. You might not be able to party in the inner sanctum (unless you have a spare £2000 per year to join), but you can stay in one of the 31 bedrooms and dine there, meaning there&#8217;s every chance of rubbing shoulders with a celeb or two.

Its official dearest reader, filming for the FOURTH series of Bridgerton is well underway and we know this for certain because there&#8217;s been a buzz of activity at <a href="https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/rangers-house-the-wernher-collection/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ranger&#8217;s House</a> in Blackheath, the official Bridgerton family residence. Our spies tell us hoardings have gone up and wisteria&#8217;s appeared on the red brick mansion, so it&#8217;s definitely lights, camera, action south of the river. Apparently the new series is going to focus heavily on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and is expected to reach our screens as early as Spring 2025. 



Meanwhile, Tom Cruise has been in town filming scenes for the latest Mission Impossible movie due to be released in May 2025. Locals in Richmond Park got a surprise when the star&#8217;s helicopter had to make an emergency landing there due to bad weather. The Top Gun actor&#8217;s a qualified pilot and his black chopper has been seen regularly whizzing through London skies and landing at Battersea Heliport. Cruise&#8217;s base when he&#8217;s in London? A penthouse at One Hyde Park, the capital&#8217;s most expensive flats selling for an eye-watering £175million. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-celebrity-book-signings">Celebrity book signings</h2>



Muddy&#8217;s hyped about seeing Elbow&#8217;s lead singer and BBC Radio 6 presenter Guy Garvey chatting to actor <a href="https://dice.fm/event/929gx7-mackenzie-crook-in-conversation-w-guy-garvey-book-signing-7th-nov-rough-trade-east-london-tickets?pid=664cedfb&amp;_branch_match_id=1311249554172986057&amp;_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8nMy9ZLyUxO1UvL1a9KNrRMMjY3NEk2s7QvyEyxNTMzSU5NSUtSqytKTUstKsrMS49PKsovL04tsg1OTEssygQAqFjmTEgAAAA%3D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mackenzie Crook</a> (The Office, Pirates of the Caribbean) about his new book If Nick Drake Came To My House. Taking place at Rough Trade East at 7pm on 7 Nov, there are still some £20 tickets left which includes entry and a pre-signed book.

And finally, Muddy bumped into Sir Michael Palin at a recent travel awards ceremony at The Four Seasons London at Park Lane. The Monty Python legend and travel presenter told us there are currently plans in the pipeline for a South American project (nice) and that he was honoured to be picking up a Special Contribution Award for his remarkable 40-year career in travel writing and broadcasting. Cheers.
