Hidden Gems of London

At the Quintessentially event at the British Ambassador's Residence last week Londoner and business owner Mr Henry Togna gave an information filled speech about the "hidden gems of London". For a frequent London traveller as myself it was great to get some insider tips and of course I would like to share a few with you! If you wish to travel to London and try for yourself, don't hesitate to contact some of my knowledgeable staff ready to guide you through the choices of hotels in this great city.

In his speech, Henry Togna quoted Samuel Johnson; "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life". That is very true. London is a vibrant city with plenty to do - you just need to know where to go. Togna mentions Shepherd's Market in Mayfair (where we also have our London office), a "village" of boutiques, bistros and bars. Among them the famous Harry's Bar and the Italian restaurant Tempo. 

Other great Italian restaurants are the River Café and Bocca di Lupo (Soho). If you prefer Thai food you should try the new Heston Blumenthal's restaurant Dinner at the Mandarin Oriental. But remember to book well in advance. The restaurant is fully booked until June ...

Mandarin Oriental is a nice choice for your hotel accommodations but there are many more. Togna brings up The Dorchester and The Connaught along with smaller, more hidden gems such as The Halkin and The Dean Street Hotel.

One hotel that I found out about recently is the St James Hotel in Mayfair. It is a nice hotel where we have great deals. We also have good rates at the traditional, wonderful Brown's Hotel as well as the cosy Chesterfield Hotel, also just steps away from our office.
