Celebration has not exactly been a central tenet of 2020. In a year when the entertainment industry has all but shut down and when every event from a village fete to a world tour was cancelled, the idea of any organised merriment or mediated memorialisation seemed anathema to our long, cold, penurious journeys through lockdown. As we looked to those around us who were bearing the brunt of the pandemic, we praised health and frontline workers and those going to extraordinary lengths to raise money for the needy. In a year of bad news, one good news story cut through, the story of Captain Sir Thomas Moore (born on 30 April 1920), “Captain Tom”, the former British Army officer who had served in India, the Burma campaign and Sumatra during the…

Stuart McGurk At the helm of this month’s Men Of The Year editorial coverage is GQ Associate Editor Stuart McGurk, who also profiled Captain Sir Tom Moore, the centenarian who walked 100 laps of his garden in aid of charity. “Putting together a Men Of The Year issue has never been more challenging,” says McGurk, “but in the people we’re celebrating, it’s also never been more rewarding.” Jack Monroe Chef and activist Jack Monroe interviewed footballer and school meals campaigner Marcus Rashford to mark his GQ Men Of The Year Awards win. “His initial target was to raise funding to feed a few thousand children,” says Monroe. “In a matter of weeks he had spearheaded a campaign that raised £20 million. Campaigner Of The Year? He’s just getting started…” Misan Harriman This year, Lewis Hamilton…

This year, the second annual GQ Heroes summit took an unexpected form. Over five days in October, 21 chauffeur-driven 7 Series, dispatched by the event’s headline partner BMW, pulled up outside London’s Union Chapel, a church-turned-performing space in Islington, to deliver the most influential thinkers and creatives of the moment. Also a charity, the Chapel doubles as a drop-in centre for the homeless and vulnerable, meaning that, this year, supporting it was more vital than usual; it’s also a stunning live venue. Each guest took to the Heroes stage to film a talk, interview, panel discussion or performance, all of which were then streamed on GQ.co.uk. Within two days, some 100,000 people had watched Prince Harry talk (via video link from California) to Patrick Hutchinson, who carried a white counter-protester out…

We've collaborated with some of the world's greatest horologists, tanneries and craftspeople to solve the shortcomings of traditional watch storage and proudly present the solution.

Nowadays, the Cotswolds can feel like one big members’ club for elite show-offs. (And, sure, that’s why many of us like it.) Weekend-ing Londoners bombing down its wet lanes in pristine Range Rover Velars in search of a decent CrossFit class or the latest food spot about which to crow once back in Mayfair. Ah, rural bliss. Well, Thyme, a hotel, spa, cookery school and restaurant located in the unfathomably idyllic village of Southrop (yes, the same Southrop taken over by Kate Moss and her pals when she got hitched), isn’t that sort of establishment, I’m afraid. Such is its savage Zen aesthetic, its conjured tranquillity, that if you are lucky enough to be able to stay, to eat and then return from its wild bliss, you won’t want to…
