Insider LondonMorning: Never mind the tourist traps in the old Covent Garden market, spend your time around Neal Street (don't miss the Cheese Shop in Neal's Yard) and Floral Street where Paul Smith sets the tone. Hip, happening fashion everywhere.
Noon: St. Martin-in-the-Fields is London's most loved parish church - a masterpiece by James Gibbs. Refresh your spirit. Step inside at lunchtime for a Bach or Mozart recital and if you enjoy this, check out St. John's in Smith Square.
Night: You are in Soho to bar hop. Start at the bustling White Horse in Marshall Street, then head West to the three big streets - Dean, Frith and Greek. Finish at the scruffy, noisy Dive Bar under the Kings Head in Gerrard Street. Eat late.
About London
Each period of England's past, punctuated by monarchs, wars, fires and other disasters, has made an indelible imprint on the capital city. Yet even while embracing its history, London is a forward-looking, modern city. Witness the Millenium's London Eye, which joins Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament as world-recognized icons of the city. Another obvious example is the culinary scene - New British cooking, as envisioned by renowned chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Antony Worrall Thompson, Marcus Wareing, Fergus Henderson and Tom Aikens, uses the best of regional ingredients in innovative, globally influenced ways; London also has outposts of celebrated restaurants like Nobu and Joël Robuchon. A profusion of cutting edge clubs and stylish bars like Tantra, Absolut IceBar, Bacchus and Lost Society Nightlife assure a high "hip" factor. Shopaholics thrill to know that London has stayed on top of the fashion game since the swinging '60s. Stop at venerable Harrod's of course, but then hotfoot it over to Sloan Street for trendy boutiques, or visit an eponymous shop - Stella McCartney, Amanda Wakely, Bruce Oldfield and many other designers maintain retail space here. Dozens of art galleries exhibit the most recent works by emerging artists, and if contemporary art is your thing, the Tate Modern is the best in Europe. Not surprisingly, London, balancing old and new with ease, is regarded as one of the world's most intriguing cities.
Did you know?
One of the most interesting attractions in all of England is the storied Tower of London, both a palace and a prison for English kings and queens for more than 500 years. The notorious Bloody Tower was supposedly the execution site of the murdered Little Princes (ages 13 and 10) at the hands of Richard III. To this day, the crime remains shrouded in mystery.
