opening doors to experiences - bookable, beautiful, and ready to be discovered.

I’ve lived in London all my life and it’s still my favourite place in the world. After university, I began my career at Accenture and Deutsche Bank before moving into the British Government, where I spent over a decade across the Home Office and Cabinet Office and later led the Venture Capital Unit. I loved promoting the UK to investors globally.

I left last year to build City O’Clock because I couldn’t find an effortless, beautifully curated way to book luxury experiences in Britain, so I decided to create one.

What is your favourite City O'Clock experience and why?
It sounds cliché, but I genuinely love every experience on the platform. We only accept experiences that the team and I absolutely adore; that’s our north star.

If I had to choose one, it would be Holland & Holland’s shooting experiences. I’ve always loved British history and indulge in series like The Crown and Downton Abbey. When you walk into Holland & Holland, the staff show you where Princess Diana used to sit, and how William and Harry would play around the bar before their shooting lessons. It’s deeply British, like stepping into an old English novel.

A Memory That Makes You Smile
Taking my eight‑year‑old son to test our children’s experiences. He’s done everything  from Biscuiteers, Crazy Pizza, Bread Ahead, My Little Unicorn to Sharky & George.

After one of them, he told me, “I have the best mummy in the world.” I hope other families feel that same joy through City O’Clock.

My career has always been centred around luxury brands, hospitality and creating exceptional bespoke experiences. I began at Quintessentially, where I managed a corporate account for the UK Government, hosting high-net-worth investors during their visits to the UK. My role was to showcase the very best of British hospitality, culture and business, a role I am still so very proud of today!

From there, I joined Rococo Chocolates as a Business Development Manager before moving to Selfridges, where I became the Head of Corporate Sales and Partnerships and I had the joy of working with fabulous clients such as Netflix, Google and HSBC.

After several years building strategic partnerships and delivering exceptional client experiences, I joined City O’Clock as The Head of Partnerships and Content. Today, my role combines two things I genuinely love: discovering and developing relationships with exceptional experience partners and creating content that inspires people to do something extraordinary and step out of their busy lives to reconnect.  

My favourite City O’Clock experience:
My favourite City O’Clock experience would have to be The Sauce by The Langham Cookery School.

I’ve always had a passion for cooking, and I love how this experience feels so approachable yet refined. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the teaching is beyond excellent. You leave feeling like you’ve learned a skill that you’ll continue to use long after the class has finished. It strikes the perfect balance between educational, social and indulgent all whilst feeling effortlessly cool.

A memory that makes me smile:
Without question, bungee jumping in New Zealand during my gap year.

Looking back, I still can’t believe I did it. Standing on the edge was completely terrifying, but the feeling of taking that leap was unforgettable. I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach now! It’s one of those memories that makes me smile because it reminds me of a time when I was perhaps a little braver, a lot more fearless, and always ready to say yes to an adventure.

I began my career as a practicing artist while studying History of Art. My career led me to one of the UK's largest art galleries, where I worked with a diverse client base ranging from celebrity collectors to first-time buyers. Alongside my role as an art dealer, I also worked as a curator, developing exhibitions and artistic programmes. Today, as Head of Art and Operations at City O'Clock, I oversees the organisation's creative direction and operational strategy, shaping the overall creative identity of the business and ensuring its visual, artistic, and commercial vision is reflected across all areas of the brand.

What is your favourite City O'Clock experience and why?
My favourite City O'Clock experience would have to be the En Plein Air Experience with award-winning artist Greta Vilidaite. At City O'Clock, we wanted to create an art experience that feels far more elevated and immersive than a traditional sip-and-paint session, and this experience delivers exactly that. It's something truly unique. Greta was exceptional, making us feel as though we had stepped into the shoes of a professional artist for the day. If you're looking for an art experience unlike anything you've done before, the En Plein Air Experience with Greta Vilidaite is the perfect experience to book.

A memory that always makes you smile?
A memory that will always make me smile is the first time I completed a commissioned painting for a client. Knowing that I had created something that would stay with them for a lifetime was an incredibly special feeling.

Creating that piece taught me the importance of holding onto happiness, celebrating life's milestones, and appreciating the people, places, and experiences that shape our stories. It's a lesson that has stayed with me ever since, both as an artist and as a person.

I'm an Aussie living in London - after a long stint in Asia. I have a passion for capturing beautiful things in a unique and purposeful way. I see beautiful light and frames everywhere, and often have to leave my camera at home in fear of never getting anywhere due to there being too many amazing things to capture. London certainly is an awe inspiring city. If I'm not taking photographs, I'm at the beach, on the tennis court or being wrangled by one of my kids!

What is your favourite City O'Clock experience and why?
This is a hard one. So many good ones! I'd have to say the Plein Air Painting and Artful Clayhouse experiences because they both tap into my creativity but I also find these sorts of activities so relaxing and therapeutic.

A memory that always makes you smile?
My partner and I were on the Great Wall of China with our then 9 month old and 2 year old red-haired boys, when a lady approached us and picked up our toddler. Shocked, we both lurched around to see where she was going and all her friends had huddled around him for a selfie... We paused for a moment to see what he would do and he just said, "CHEEEEESE". She did return him... Our red-haired boys were like celebrities in China!

I started my job career as a customer service apprentice with British Airways when I was 16 years old, I used to work a lot on the specialist support zone where I would assist people with additional needs which I loved! I loved being able to support people and help others in the best way I could which then influenced me to becoming a teacher in a specialist school for children and young Adults with complex needs. I have been able to have the opportunity to see these young adults expand on their life skills and communication skills which I have always found to be one of the most rewarding things I have experienced in my life despite the challenges I have faced within this career! I am excited about bringing that same passion to City O’Clock.

What is your favourite City O'Clock experience and why?
My favourite experience with City O’Clock has to be the Art Masterclass with Greta, I have always enjoyed art but I have only ever been self taught! I was doubtful at first at how my art piece would turn out but this experience definitely unlocked my inner artist! I was proud of my final piece and I finished that experience feeling more confident with art and I left feeling encouraged to try out new things that I might not necessarily do at home on my normal day to day basis. The experience was such a peaceful yet interactive experience, enjoying the outdoors and feeling very relaxed whilst having fun and making great memories and creating my own piece of art. I can’t wait to try out more experiences just like this.

A memory that always makes you smile?
A memory that always makes me smile is the first time one of my non-verbal students said their first word to me, this took a lot of patience and hard work but I never gave up! After a year of closely working alongside this student they finally took their first steps into expanding their communication! This memory reminds me the importance of patience, determination and trial and error! I remember when this happened the instant feeling of happiness and joy from this students parents when I told them was amazing to see! This has definitely been one of my proudest moments and happiest moments within my career!

My Career began after studying fine art and graphic design, With over 25 years of commercial experience as a graphic designer specialising in digital design, development and marketing, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of luxury brands, including Hilton Hotels, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad and Sunseeker.

What is your favourite City O’Clock experience and why?
My favourite City O’Clock experience has to be the DIY Biscuit Icing Workshop. Biscuits are definitely one of my weaknesses, and I love any opportunity to get creative while learning something new. Of course, the tasting is always great fun too!

I create amazing content for brands.

What is your favourite City O'Clock experience and why?
My favourite City O’clock experience has to be the Sauce at Langham because of the great advice on sprucing up salads and cooking your sourdough. I didn’t know fennel could go in a tomato salad but have been putting it in ever since!

A memory that always makes you smile?
A memory that makes me smile is going up to Portobello Road after the plein air Art Masterclass in Holland Park that I filmed to get a waffle from mammy pancake. I had one on a trip to Hong Kong and thought about it for half a year since.

My career started at Accenture before I moved through fast-growth roles across insurance, e-commerce and retail, including serving as Global Head of E-commerce for a $3bn conglomerate across the UK, US and India. In 2018 I decided to build something of my own and founded GrowthSpin, a growth marketing studio. Since then I've worked as a growth partner for fintech, SaaS and e-commerce brands, helping founders turn good ideas into growing businesses.

Your favourite City O'Clock experience
The Plein Air Painting experience in the garden, without question. There's something so appealing about the idea of slowing down, brush in hand, and really taking in the light and colours around you rather than rushing through the day.

A memory that always makes you smile
Getting completely lost in Key West (southernmost part of the US) on a speedboat. What started as a straightforward trip out on the water turned into us drifting further and further from where we were meant to be, laughing the whole time because there was genuinely nothing to do but enjoy it.
