‘I TAKE DARCY FOR DINNER AT CHILTERN FIREHOUSE’

-

Interior designer May Wong, 58, lives in Chelsea with her two dogs: cockapoo Darcy and rescue dog George. She bought Darcy when she was single, explaining: “I always wanted a Darcy in my life”, and now the pair are inseparabl­e. They have just come back from a Prada shopping trip and have travelled the world together, visiting everywhere from the Netherland­s to the United States, blogging their adventures on Missdarcy.org.

Darcy dines with Wong at top London restaurant­s, from Chiltern Firehouse (where dogs are as welcome on the sofas as their owners) to Le Gavroche – “she can be very prim and proper” – though her daily diet is organic raw meat. In winter, she sports a customised waxed cotton Barbour jacket; come summer, a classic Burberry trench.

“It’s all very traditiona­l English,” explains Wong. “I like nice things, so I designed them for her. She’s my baby. People call her spoiled, but I think I spoil myself rather than her, because everything I do is for me.”
