A true mecca for the fashion-inclined, Dover Street Market is a cutting-edge design and concept store in the heart of central London. Make a day of it and grab a healthy lunch at Rose Bakery on the fourth floor.

This true hidden gem attracts hip clientele with its global menu and beautiful walled garden. It's seriously dreamy on the terrace on those long, British summer days.

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.
