Insider London Tips Morning: get up and out as early as you can. Stroll through Hyde Park's uncut meadows and trees,nothing around you but misty English countryside. Go down to the Serpentine for Coffee, then round the Serpentine Gallery for the smartest modern art.
Noon: Take Bond Street from the Oxford Street end; while the French were executing their Kings, and the American colonies were cutting free, this was the world's glitziest shopping Street, its still right up there. If you're feeling rich , step into Aspreys.
Night: Linger in leafy Berkeley Square - breathe in the last vapours of wartime and pre-war romance , then head straight down Charles Street. The road ends at an old, discreet and luxurious pub, the Red Lion.
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?
As the former residence of London's royal family, Hampton Court Palace has always inspired a certain awe. Originally built in 1514 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the Palace was overtaken by King Henry VIII in 1525 - perhaps so he would have ample room for his many wives and his own considerable girth - it's said that his waist was a staggering 54 inches.
