Adjacent to the hotel is Apsley House, a museum most visitors miss. Once the grand home of the Duke of Wellington, his descendents live there still. Packed with the Duke's extensive art collection, its address was for many years 1 London. From there, walk past Wellington Arch and on through lush Green Park to Mayfair, the heart of London. Filled with the UK's most exclusive stores along Savile Row and Bond Street. Nearby Piccadilly has the renowned Royal Academy of Arts - worth walking round for its splendid interiors alone. With lunch approaching, drop into Nicole Farhi's restaurant 'Nicole's' on Bond Street for something light. Alternatively, try something more substantial at any of the restaurants in the quintessentially English Fortnum & Mason department store, also on Piccadilly.

After lunch, head to Whitehall where you'll find The Churchill Museum & The Cabinet War Rooms for an evocative look into recent history. From there, take a cab to the Millennium Bridge. It has the best view of St Paul's in London and it's a short step over the Thames to Tate Modern. The UK's leading modern art collection is housed in a former power station. The old turbine hall is a massive space used solely for immense art installations. If you have time, walk down to Borough Market, one of London's oldest 'fruit and veg' markets, or maybe take a cocktail at the distinctive Oxo Tower with its perfect river views. Otherwise, hop on the Tate Boat service back to the London Eye. This is a must - even for Londoners - and your early-evening 30-minute ride will give you spectacular views of the city. Advance booking is essential via the Concierge: we can also arrange private pods and champagne rides.

London's West End has the best collection of theatres in the world - many of them gems of Edwardian and Victorian architecture - attracting the biggest stars. We're happy at the Concierge Desk to recommend a show or arrange tickets for any performance of your choice. Enjoy a cocktail in the bar and then let our experienced chauffeurs drive you for the evening. For dinner, The Wolseley is great for food and star-spotting, with a buzzing atmosphere. The Wolseley is equally good for breakfast and lunch. For other restaurant suggestions, please ask at the Concierge Desk. After the theatre, we can arrange to guest list you in one of many exclusive private night clubs to keep you dancing till the early hours.
