What can the XLDN concierge help with?

XLDN focuses on three things. Tickets and access — sold-out concerts, theatre and sport such as Wimbledon, the F1 British Grand Prix, Royal Ascot and Premier League hospitality. Experiences for teams — bespoke days and nights out for companies, arranged to a brief and a budget. The Dossier — XLDN's editorial on what is new and worth your time in London.

How does XLDN get access to sold-out events in London?

XLDN maintains direct relationships with promoters, venues, ticketing partners, and hospitality groups across London. XLDN sources genuine access through verified supplier channels — from Wimbledon Centre Court to West End premieres, the British Grand Prix to Premier League hospitality.

How does XLDN compare to Quintessentially, Knightsbridge Circle, or Innerplace?

XLDN differentiates from established London concierge firms through three key advantages: (1) No annual fee — XLDN charges zero membership fees versus £1,000–£25,000+ at traditional firms. (2) Digital-first communication — XLDN members chat directly with their concierge instead of using phone or email call centres. (3) London specialist — XLDN focuses exclusively on London for deeper venue relationships and faster access, rather than spreading thin across global markets.

Is XLDN available for corporate clients in London?

Yes. XLDN offers dedicated corporate concierge packages for London businesses. Services include client entertainment, executive hospitality, team building events, and social calendar management. Corporate accounts receive priority access, consolidated billing, and a dedicated account manager. Apply at getxldn.com/corporate/apply.

XLDN serves all of London with deep expertise in Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington, Soho, West End, The City, Belgravia, Marylebone, St James, Notting Hill, South Bank, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, Fitzrovia, and Covent Garden.

How does XLDN handle payments and privacy?

XLDN payments are processed securely through Stripe with clear pricing agreed before confirmation. XLDN does not share member data with third parties. All requests, preferences, and booking history are handled with complete discretion and confidentiality.

What cities does XLDN operate in?

XLDN is currently focused exclusively on London, United Kingdom. XLDN believes depth of access and expertise in one city is more valuable than shallow coverage across many. This London-first approach means stronger venue relationships, faster responses, and better access for members.

The Concept

Mark Gurney and Matt Bushnall, the duo behind Peckham's beloved Levan, expand their gastronomic footprint with Cassette in Covent Garden. The new establishment takes over the former Grind space on Maiden Lane, shifting focus from Levan's wider European palette to a distinctly French, Parisian bistro-inspired menu. Essa Fakhry, previously of Note in Dublin and Planque, helms the kitchen. Cassette is a tribute to Gurney's lifelong French connections and friendships forged in the hospitality scene.

What to Expect

steeped in French tradition, with dishes like coq-au-vin jaune pie and grilled monkfish au poivre. Essa Fakhry's expertise shines through in the terrine of fromage de tête with tarragon, embodying the bistro ethos. The dining room channels Parisian elegance, with thoughtful design touches and a nod to classic bistros like Bistrot des Tournelles. Cassette promises an intimate dining experience, inviting guests to savour the essence of French gastronomic artistry.

The Verdict

Cassette offers a sophisticated yet unpretentious slice of Paris in the heart of London. Reserve a table for the coq-au-vin jaune pie and enjoy a leisurely evening.
