Meet James Dabbs, Founder of , Mayfair’s boutique performance gym 👋🏼 James’ focus is on unlocking human potential, stemming from his pro football days, and more recently, coaching London’s executives and everyday athletes.

In his first column for The Mayfair Musings, James cuts through the wellness hype: cold plunges, supplements, peptides, almond milk lattes…all booming trends, noting that none of them replace the work.

“Training has to be the foundation. Everything else is decoration. No smoothie, capsule, or cryo chamber can build strength for you. Consistent, intelligent training is still the only route to real, lasting change.”

At Dabbs Fitness, the philosophy is simple: learn from elite athletes, apply it to your life, and make strength and resilience non-negotiable - whether you’re preparing for the boardroom or the playing field.

As well as welcoming James as a regular columnist, we’re also delighted to welcome him as a member of , so lots of you locals will be getting to know him a little better in 2026!

A rare Five Guinea coin from the reign of Queen Anne (dated 1711) achieved a hammer price of £80,000 at Noonans Mayfair this month on 9th September. Expected to fetch £50,000–60,000, it became the highlight of the 450-lot sale after spirited bidding from the UK, Europe and Japan, before being secured by a Swiss collector.

Other notable results included:
– A Charles I Half-unite (Oxford mint, 1643) sold for £17,000 – more than double its estimate.
– A rare penny of King John (Lincoln, c. 1199–1216) soared to £1,800, twelve times its top estimate.

In total, the auction realised £814,175, reflecting the growing demand for historic coins with academic significance.

Have you noticed The Barley Mow’s new look?

For a short time only, the Duke Street favourite has been renamed The Barley Dafoe – a playful collaboration between cult actor Willem Dafoe and iconic Islay whisky Laphroaig.

Describing Laphroaig 10-Year-Old Islay Single Malt, Dafoe calls it: “Like kissing a mermaid in a rocky rowboat on a feisty sea. Like sucking on a burnt match. A damp yurt at Glastonbury after 10 days of smoke, fire and rain. Like licking a walrus chomping on a seaweed cigar.”

To mark the moment, the pub is serving The Other Island – a bespoke cocktail of Laphroaig 10-Year-Old, pineapple and Amaro – until 19 October 2025.

📍 The Barley Dafoe, 82 Duke Street, Mayfair
⏳ Renaming until 25 September, 9am
