Maison François could have us fooled that we're not back in the streets of Paris. With the menu  written entirely in French, and the wafts of delicious smells flooding your senses, be prepared for a glorious indulgence of brasserie classics. The highlight? It has to be the pudding trolley, loaded every day with freshly baked viennoiserie. 

Far from your average cheesemonger, Paxton & Whitfield has been by royal appointment since 1850. So, if you want to feast like royalty, call in to this splendid institution for your cheese board staples. Treat yourself to some 'proper pickle' and artisan biscuits for the perfect pairing. 

This traditional menswear shop is hyper-focussed on creating the highest quality shirts possible. Skill and craftsmanship are evident in everything they do.

Wander around London for a few hours, and you'll surely stumble across many wonderful places to see art. It’s just that kind of city. The RA, however, might just be the cream of the crop.
