After that, head back to central London's SoHo district for the greatest variety of clubs and nightlife to be found anywhere in the city. Check out Forbidden London Clubs for a wide selection of night clubs and bars. Remember, British bartenders do not accept tips, and most servers are not cocktail wizards. So stick to beer and wine and avoid waiting 20 minutes for a watery Cosmo.

Once you're ready to explore a little further there is nowhere better than the award-winning La Gavroche restaurant just up the road, or Nobu, home of sublime Japanese cuisine.

The National Portrait Gallery is another superb venue for some of the large number of world famous works of art in London with portraits of contemporary and historically relevant British men and women.

A few moments away along the Strand is the largely pedestrianised Covent Garden piazza where you can mingle with the crowds as they watch the street musicians and entertainers. Time your arrival to take in a performance at the impressive Royal Opera House, one of the foremost performing arts venues in Europe.

If that kind of thing is not your bag but bags and fashion are, head to Knightsbridge for exclusive luxury shopping at Harrods or Harvey Nichols.
