The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Haines of Sloane Square is London's oldest family Newsagent. It has been trading since 1892 and is still located in the hub of Chelsea, Sloane Square.
This newspaper kiosk outside Sloane Square station is unique in two ways: 1) It is London’s oldest family newsagent established in the 1800s and 2) It is in a kiosk designed by Thomas Heatherwick, CBE. This is the man who designed the fabulous Olympic Cauldron for the London 2012 summer Olympics and the current version of the iconic London Routemaster red bus. Worth a visit on both counts.

A destination in itself, The Library bar attracts guests in residence and locals alike. Retaining an intimate, club-like atmosphere with a welcoming ambience, the distinguished surroundings provide the perfect opportunity to soak up the bar's "Lanesborough Paradis" atmosphere, where time slows to a leisurely pace during the day yet comes alive in the evening as the nightly music entertainment unfolds. A truly unique experience amongst London's vibrant bar scene, The Library Bar is home to Cognacs dating back to the 1770s, as well as spectacularly prepared cocktails by a team of award-winning bartenders.
Just completed 5 night stay at the glorious Lanesborough hotel (best 5 star hotel), and visited the magnificent and opulent Library bar on 3 different evenings. The décor is sumptuous and the service out of this world. A special thank you to Michael for taking such great care of us each evening, making our visits truly extra special!!! They have piano player in evenings starting at 6:30pm which is very nice. If you want a special spot, call ahead and they will try to accommodate. Truly the best bar we've visited in all our international travels, others in London don't even compare!!

My husband was looking for a pub and I wanted a 'nice meal', The Grenadier made us both happy!! The place is adorable and the fish/chips were the best we had in London, the Beef Wellington was amazing and the toffee pudding was truly delicious!

The Royal Court Theatre is one of the best in the World. A Kind of People (currently playing) is probably the best play of the year. It is about race and our relationships with each other and how our upbringing affects us in ways we don't always comprehend. It is Funny and Tragically funny and Tragic . 95 minutes with no intermission. It covers what many others have tried to cover but not with much success . This play is nearly perfect. The Acting is first rate ! and the set design is fantastic. Go See This Play!

Here visitors can browse, smell and explore in their own time and with the support of our welcoming and knowledgeable team. As journalist and Co-Founder of The Perfume Society, Jo Fairley once said, we are champions of the ‘slow-scent movement’. Finding ‘the one’ should never be rushed. Les Senteurs is the place to fall in love with perfume, if you haven’t already, as each visitor is taken on a personal journey of discovery to find their perfect scent.
Good range of some hard to find fragrances, very good online service with free samples thrown in. Whats there not to like. If your into Niche Perfumery, try here. Recommended.

Set in a fantastic location in the heart of Chelsea Cadogan Hall has become one of London's leading venues. The Hall's 950 seats, excellent acoustic and luxurious surroundings makes it the first choice for some of the UK's top orchestras, including the Hall's resident orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic, as well as a favourite London destination for international touring orchestras. Cadogan Hall is the chosen venue for the world-famous BBC Proms Chamber Music Series and also offers a vibrant selection of contemporary, jazz, folk and world music events as well as talks, debates and conferences.
If you see an entertainment you want catch is on at the Cadogan Hall go, it is an excellent venue. The auditorium has great sight line and acoustics. The lobby lounge is good for meeting up before the performance. If you are going to collect tickets from the box office you can access the lobby directly from there rather than going back to entrance queue.

This Church located at the bottom of Sloane Street near Sloane square has been described at "the Cathedral of the Arts and Crafts Movement", by poet John Betjeman.The Arts and Crafts movement was an international trend in the decorative and fine arts that began in Britain and flourished in Europe and North America between about 1880 and 1920. This Anglican church started construction in 1888. The interior has a rather opulent gothic style and the most striking element is the Great East Window. This enormous window is the work of Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, two very prominent well-known members of the Movement. The window is made of of 48 panels in several rows and columns. They depict Old testament Patriarchs, Kings and Prophets. The bottom two rows contain 24 saints. In the arched part of the panel are scenes from the Bible (Adam and Eve, Nativity, Crucifixion). The windows on the North Wall are also worth viewing. Curiously, the church is decked-out in what were considered the latest mod-cons in the 1880's. These include hanging electric lights and a font, plumbed to provide running water!. This church also has an excellent schedule of concerts.
