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.

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.

What cities does XLDN operate in?

The Concept

Duchy resides in the former space of Michelin-starred Leroy, reimagined by Alex Grant and Simon Shand. The pair take inspiration from the Duchy of Savoy, merging French and Italian nuances into a dining experience that balances the familiar with the distinctive. It invites conversation and gastronomic exploration, offering a setting that's both engaging and comforting.

What to Expect

Duchy's menu is a homage to hearty sophistication. The house diot sausage with wild garlic aligot offers a comforting twist, while Cornish pollock with borlotti beans and lardo adds a refined touch. Smaller plates like brown crab arancini and anchovies with guanciale crostini bring a lighter grace. Dishes are crafted for sharing. The homemade spaghetti with sage and pecorino, a simple yet elegant choice, finds harmony alongside a well-curated wine list. It’s a seamless dance of rustic and refined.

The Verdict

Duchy stands out by blending nostalgia with innovation. Opt for a midweek visit for a quieter atmosphere. Ask for the spaghetti with sage and pecorino — simplicity at its best.
