Nirmal Sethia, the Kolkata-born tea magnate worth £6.8 billion, says he has never read an Agatha Christie novel. Yet his luxury brand Newby Teas is the driving force behind the British Library's biggest Christie exhibition in 25 years, marking 50 years since her death — a partnership rooted in tea's starring role as the perfect vehicle for fictional murder.
A brilliant exhibition of some 50 of his paintings from the more than 500 that he did are on display until November 29, 2026, at the Wallace Collection (near Bond Street) in an exhibition called, Churchill: The Painter.
