The best pictures from Country Life's 2019 Gentleman's Life party
Country Life celebrated the publication of its annual Gentleman's Life supplement with a glitzy party at at 30 Pavillion Row, Knightsbridge — and photographer Marcus Dawes was on hand to record the night.


The guests — which included numerous gentlemen, plenty of ladies and quite possibly a few reprobates who sneaked past the doorman — enjoyed drinks courtesy of Pol Roger, Chase Distillery and Nine Elms Drinks amid Ronny Colbie floral arrangements, Huntsman suits and live jazz from the Harry Bolt Trio.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
