'I want a blood effect on the walls': Inside gothic goddess Tish Weinstock's macabre west London townhouse

Dracula lived in a crumbling castle in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania. The Addams Family resided in their towering, dilapidated mansion, 0001 Cemetery Lane. Victor Frankenstein created his monster sequestered in an attic laboratory in the German city of Ingolstadt. And so where to find Tish Weinstock, 2024’s posh goth; the beauty editor, model and author? A four-storey, double fronted detached townhouse in Ladbroke Grove, darling!

As promised, she appears at the top of 12 concrete steps with wrought iron bannisters, cloaked in a black, ruched silk skirt and tight black leather shirt one wet, windy afternoon. Weinstock is something of a London legend, having worked her way up on the beauty desks at magazines Dazed and i-D, before settling on her current contributing role at British Vogue and beauty director at System magazine. She is crisply spoken, fabulously gossipy, and counts It girls from Kate Moss to Lady Lola Bute, Jazzy De Lisser and Camille Charrière as best friends.
