The charm of the British style is a bit like a kiss between two lovers under the Eiffel Tower, the majesty of the Milan Cathedral that always leaves you speechless, or the adrenaline of coming home after a travel. It’s like the vertigo that comes in the face of a New York skyscraper, when you belt your favorite song as it plays on the radio, and again, like the obstinacy of our grandmothers who repeatedly tell us to eat even when we’ve had enough. Something timeless, that makes you smile or argue, that you may like or dislike, but for one reason or another, by accident or on purpose, you stumble onto at least once in your life.

The British mania is a bit of a trend, a little fact and a bit of a lifestyle. It is especially well received by nostalgics who look to the past with melancholy and admiration. If you feel part of this circle and dream of taking a step back in time, here are some addresses in the Milanese capital that will let you rediscover the beauty of dandyism and old England with vintage furnishings and Anglo-Saxon products.
