Insider London
Morning: Harrods is best experienced shortly after it opens. Of all the attractions, the greatest is probably the food hall - the finest food in the world, begging to be eaten - a great place for gifts that people actually want too.

Noon: The V&A is the quietest of the great museums. When the Liebskind extension is built it will be swarming with visitors, so visit now and go straight to the cast room - it's like a Piranesi drawing come to life.

Night: Get a cab to the Grenadier Pub on Wilton Row in Belgravia. Low key it may be, but it's also extremely well heeled with beautifully plain cooking, good beer and famous Bloody Marys. Guard officers and minor Royals used to love it and Madonna still does.

About London

Each period of England's past, punctuated by monarchs, wars, fires and other disasters, has made an indelible imprint on the capital city. Yet even while embracing its history, London is a forward-looking, modern city. Witness the Millenium's London Eye, which joins Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament as world-recognized icons of the city. Another obvious example is the culinary scene New British cooking, as envisioned by renowned chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Antony Worrall Thompson, Marcus Wareing, Fergus Henderson and Tom Aikens, uses the best of regional ingredients in innovative, globally influenced ways; London also has outposts of celebrated restaurants like Nobu and Joël Robuchon. A profusion of cutting edge clubs and stylish bars like Tantra, Absolut IceBar, Bacchus and Lost Society Nightlife assure a high "hip" factor. Shopaholics thrill to know that London has stayed on top of the fashion game since the swinging '60s. Stop at venerable Harrod's of course, but then hotfoot it over to Sloan Street for trendy boutiques, or visit an eponymous shop Stella McCartney, Amanda Wakely, Bruce Oldfield and many other designers maintain retail space here. Dozens of art galleries exhibit the most recent works by emerging artists, and if contemporary art is your thing, the Tate Modern is the best in Europe. Not surprisingly, London, balancing old and new with ease, is regarded as one of the world's most intriguing cities.

Did you know?

One of the most interesting attractions in all of England is the storied Tower of London, both a palace and a prison for English kings and queens for more than 500 years. The notorious Bloody Tower was supposedly the execution site of the murdered Little Princes (ages 13 and 10) at the hands of Richard III. To this day, the crime remains shrouded in mystery.
