Where to Stay
The Lanesborough, a former mansion turned world-class hotel, is the ideal home for your London adventure. Here, guests can enjoy afternoon tea in the lounge alongside the hotel’s resident cat, Lilibet. Sleep in over-the-top luxurious suites and gain easy access to quintessential London sites like the nearby Wellington Arch and Hyde Park, just a short walk away. Moreover, don’t miss out on a drink in The Library Bar, which feels like you’re stepping into a posh friend’s living room. Order from its selection of cocktails and savor the atmosphere all night.
Where to Eat
Breakfast at Climpson and Sons: For more than 20 years, Climpson and Sons has been at the forefront of the specialty coffee scene in London. Its small but impressive shop in East London serves as the ideal start to your day. Grab your choice of coffee from the counter, including drips, espresso drinks, and a variety of cakes, bagels, and croissants to accompany your brew.
Lunch at Market Hall: With a diverse array of foods, Market Hall is the perfect venue for travelers wishing to taste all of London in one go. With 24 kitchens and over 200 dishes, it’s destined to delight even the pickiest of eaters.
Dinner at Coal Office: Marketed as a “food and design playground,” Coal Office delivers on both fronts. Guests may choose a table, however, we recommend securing a seat at the bar to watch the chefs perform their culinary magic. Be sure to try the kubala, a twist on brioche, and the octopus.
After Dinner Drinks: Nobu London Portman invites guests to enjoy globally inspired drinks reflecting Nobu’s journey from Japan to Los Angeles. Unsure about what to order? Engage with one of the knowledgeable bartenders, who will gladly assist you in choosing the perfect drink.
What to Do
The London Eye: The London Eye, which officially opened to the public in 2000, was initially intended to be a temporary attraction. However, it quickly emerged as the city’s most popular paid tourist spot. The ride lasts approximately 30 minutes, and guests can even opt for a private pod to enjoy with friends.
Brick Lane Art: Visitors seeking culture without the cost of a museum entrance fee can head to Brick Lane to explore some of the world’s finest street art. Enjoy a self-guided stroll or opt for one of the paid tours available in this vibrant area.
