Anya Hindmarch x Boots

In a quirky corner of London sits Anya Hindmarch’s famous Village, a collection of shops, showrooms and cafes structured around the designer’s creative world. It’s here you’ll also find the Village Hall, a concept store that plays host to a number of fantastical pop-ups throughout the year. First up for 2026? Anya Hindmarch has teamed up with high street hero Boots for the very first time, bringing her recognisable playfulness to a limited-edition everyday essentials range, all priced between £5 and £10. The new collaboration will sit on the shelves alongside new additions to the Anya Brands line, including pieces inspired by Berocca, Advil, BAND AID Brand, Imperial Leather and Nurofen – this is a health and beauty counter, after all – and the latest rendition of the Universal Bag.

Equanimity

Londoners can welcome the arrival of 2026 at Equanimity, a brand-new wellness festival. Taking place in the heart of King’s Cross, the three-month-long event invites a moment of slowness and mindfulness – set to a packed programme of activities designed to nurture mind, body and soul. ‘Equanimity isn’t just a festival, it’s a state of mind,’ describes Emma Symonds, King’s Cross’ senior events and enlivenment manager. ‘It’s about creating moments of calm and balance amidst the chaos and is the ultimate antidote to the post-Christmas slump for mind, body and soul.’ So, what’s on offer? Visitors can opt for a Scandi-inspired reset with the return of viral pop-up Slomo – think wood-fired saunas, cold plunge pools and ice baths – Decompression Sessions hosted by Self Space, Women’s Circles with healing art practitioner Anna Brooke, and workshops led by expert practitioners on yoga, breathwork, meditation and sound healing. 

When: 6 January – 31 March

Where: Various locations in the King’s Cross neighbourhood
