If I were to ask you: what are the two best things to come out of Mexico? It’d be natural to answer a) cocaine and b) Antonio Banderas. But those answers are wrong (and slightly racist).

JWBL_The Gentleman’s Wager_Pre-Screening_Soho House Berlin

Picture the scene: a few months ago I’m at Soho House eating a sandwich with the crusts expertly sliced off, wearing an ill-fitting and un-ironed shirt, trying to act like I belong there.
