Few cities hold as many glamorous attractions as London’s sprawling streets. With so many highly-favoured hotels, restaurants, museums and bars clamouring for your attention, narrowing down your visit list to just one or two can - and often does - feel like an impossible task. In order to save you time, we have assembled a list of city highlights so you can enjoy the best of London, without sweating the small stuff!
For those looking for a place to stay who love a hip atmosphere, but never want to stray too far from the downtown scene, Ham Yard Hotel is a perfect fit. Tucked right into Soho, the hotel mirrors the area’s colourful character through rooms infused with an eclectic designer’s touch. The 91 rooms individually designed by the award-winning Kit Kemp stand out through their blend of designer prints in bright shades. Each also features floor-to-ceiling windows, many of which look down on a brightly-lit garden bursting with greenery that accentuates a bronze sculpture by Tony Cragg.
Many of London’s most popular tourist districts rest only minutes away from Ham Yard hotel. Interested in spending the day away on a shopping adventure along Regent Street, or exploring the sights and shows of Piccadilly Circus? Both are only minutes away. Or, if you prefer to stay in, the hotel houses a quality restaurant and bar, an in-house theatre and an original 1950s bowling alley complete with hand warmers and vintage bowling shoes.
Just a few tube stops away from Ham Yard Hotel sits Petrus, one of the best dining experiences in downtown London. This jewel of Knightsbridge carries one Michelin star, Gordon Ramsay’s name and a slew of high praise that sustains its on-going popularity. Head Chef Neil Snowball leads the kitchen in the development of its European menu, filled with a balance of full bodied and delicate dishes.
Those looking for a unique dinner experience also have the special chance to see what goes on behind the scenes of Petrus at its chef’s table. Up to eight guests can reserve the chance to have Petrus host them in the kitchen, allowing them to witness the chefs in action during dinner service.
For an unforgettable city night, London visitors would be best served by a trip to Boujis. Its range of A-list guests and its aim to set the standard for style and luxury places it firmly on top of the list of most exclusive nightclubs in the city. So exclusive, in fact, that most need a membership in order to gain entry.
