Claridge’s
££££
Brook Street, Mayfair, London W1K 4HR
Between Gordon Ramsay’s signature restaurant, a famous art deco bar and one of the best afternoon teas in London, Claridge’s would be a destination just for its food and drink.

The on-site Nobu is one of the most popular high-end sushi chains in the world.

St James’s Hotel & Club
££££
7-8 Park Place, St. James’s, London, SW1A 1LS
A little like a wedding cake outside and an ornate series of drawing rooms inside, this hotel provides a wonderful introduction to London, new and old.
