Egerton House Hotel is a charming boutique hotel situated in two red brick Victorian townhouses in Knightsbridge. We love to play board games with tea or a few martinis in the lounge.

This lovely little shop is heaven for novice cooks and seasoned chefs alike. They stocks over 4,500 pieces of professional-grade cookware and host wonderful workshops too.

The V&A is instantly calmer than its neighbouring Science and Natural History museums. On a warm day crowds gather to paddle in the elliptical courtyard pool. Inside there is always something new to discover. The blockbuster fashion exhibitions (Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior, Balenciaga) are definitely worth the entry price, but visitors shouldn’t miss highlights in the permanent collection including Renaissance works by Botticelli and statues by Michelangelo. Exit through the gift shop – the best museum store in London.

We just love this adorable children's shop (and so do the royals and celebrities, it seems!). It's the perfect place to outfit your nursery, as they have the loveliest selection of chic furniture and baby clothes.
