Welcome to the autumn 2024 edition of Gentleman’s Journal. Pour yourself a drink, settle into your favourite armchair (preferably fireside) and get stuck in.

First up in our Portfolio section, discover the latest from the world of watches, revisit the best (and worst) style moments of former US presidents, meet up-and-comer Jay Lycurgo and get the low-down on all the winners of Gentleman’s Journal’s 2024 Drinks Awards.



House Notes is the place to come for essays, anecdotes, recipes and recommendations. This issue, TopJaw’s Jesse Burgess finds a Georgian restaurant with lashings of charm; resident wine writer Guy Woodward solves the vinous dichotomy of dinner party wine choices; illustrator Michael McGregor talks us through some of his favourite drawings from his new book and Jeremy Chan turns up the heat with a recipe for plantain, smoked Scotch bonnet and raspberry.



In our Features section, we unpack why practically everyone, from footballers to financiers, is moving to Milan; chat with F1 racer for McLaren Oscar Piastri; reveal the art hotels rivalling the world’s finest galleries; and spend time with our charismatic cover star Javier Bardem, star of recent Netflix crime drama Monsters, who talks fatherhood, Formula One and addressing his flaws.




To round things off, our Society pages see an aptly timed interview with clubman extraordinaire Luca Maggiora, the new owner of Tramp; a deeply subjective and unscientific matrix of London members’ clubs; and some closing notes with chef Tom Kerridge.
