Grays of Westminster and Nikon Owner magazine would like to invite you to their grand Christmas Event in the magnificent Regency Restaurant at the Institute of Directors (IoD), 116 Pall Mall, London.

The champagne reception and superb Christmas dinner will be followed this year by a unique presentation by Andrew Main Wilson who has set out to become the first person to visit every country in the world and tell the story of the 1,000 greatest travel experiences on Earth in images and words.

With photographic shoots in 175 of the world’s 200 countries now complete, he is very close to finishing his global odyssey. The images from all 175 countries have been shot using Nikon cameras and lenses, from the Nikon F4 to the Nikon D800, and the 14-24mm to the 80-400mm Nikkor zoom.

Inspired and influenced along the way by interviewing world leaders such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir David Attenborough and Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Andrew Main Wilson will share his exciting stories and the iconic images of his epic adventures across the globe.

The Institute of Directors

The Institute of Directors is a grand Grade I listed Regency building and its sweeping marble staircase and vast walls, covered in 18th and 19th century canvases, provides a spectacular backdrop for the evening; the period restaurant at the IoD is a most fitting venue for this elegant celebration.
