“There can be few London experiences more magical than dinner in this spellbinding dining room. It really doesn’t get ritzier than a night at the Ritz, with its gilded ceiling and gracious, polished-to-perfection waiters. John Williams, MBE, heads up the kitchen and he’s all about the very finest seasonal British produce – Scottish lobster, Norfolk crab or beef Wellington are favourites, and you’d be bonkers not to order the crêpes Suzette for pudding (they’ll fire them up on a gleaming silver tray by your table). A pianist tinkling away in the background every evening adds a romantic feel and helps the real world fade away for a while. ”

“This large Boots store on Piccadilly Circus has a pharmacy upstairs as well as a wide range of toiletries and beauty products”

“The easiest places to pick up a great take away lunch is either Ottolingi or Daylesford Ottolingi, Belgravia - Chic deli/takeaway for flavours from around North Africa and the Middle East. Amazing. My favourite. 13 Motcomb St, Belgravia, London SW1X 8LB Ottolingi, Notting Hill - 63 Ledbury Rd, Notting Hill, London W11 2AD Daylesford, Pimlico - Chic, all-day cafe-deli for seasonal organic plates and salads.”

“Champagne and cocktails in elegant art deco surroundings with alabaster, gold leaf and rich woods. ”

“Piccadilly Circus is one of London's most popular tourist destinations, home to the iconic Piccadilly screens and the statue of Eros.”
