We ask this month's KITRI Spotlight muse, Rachel Chudley to recommend her top five favourite places.

1. Sir John Soane's Museum

One of my all-time favourite interiors! Full of amazing art and antiquities, and lit by candlelight. Magic!

Pampering products made by monks. Located in the glorious back chambers of the cathedral in Florence, you can buy body oils and candles while walking beside frescos. 

3. Daunt Books, Marylebone High Street

Most fabulous way to while away a day: in the travel section of this arts and crafts interior complete with original wooden panelling. 

4. The Cob Gallery, Camden

My favourite place to find art. No matter your budget - they can find you brilliant artists to invest in. 

5. Bal Samand Hotel in Jodhpur



Visiting this hotel is a mind altering experience. You can stay in original palace rooms, wake up to peacocks and monkeys, and travel in to the beautiful blue city.
