Culture
The United Kingdom encompasses four countries, each of which have their own traditions and cultures. They come together with a common love for their nation, and are very hospitable and kind countries. If you would like to travel to the United Kingdom, then you could easily see all four countries due to their close proximity, and easy travel lines between them. The nation was the first industrialized nation in the world, and today, still is a dominant force in the world’s economy.
Shopping and entertainment
London has several distinct shopping areas and shopping streets, many of which have their own themes or specialities. Shopping in London is exciting and varied: from luxury goods in Mayfair to quirky finds in Covent Garden, to large shopping centres such as Westfield and famous London department stores including the likes of Harrods. You can easily spend an hour, an afternoon or a whole day browsing shops in London.
Regent Street offers a good range of mid-priced fashion stores alongside some of the city’s oldest and most famous shops, including Hamley, Liberty and the apple store. Nearby, historic Jermyn Street is renowned for men’s clothing shops and is so typically British it’s enough to bring out the old-fashioned gent in anyone! Jermyn Street is particularly well known for its bespoke shirt makers such as Benson & Clegg and shoe shops including John Lobb.
Romantic Getaways
Take your romance to new heights with a helicopter tour of the London skyline, courtesy of Dukes in Mayfair. After freshening up in a Junior Suite, complete with champagne, red roses, Fortnum & Mason chocolates and a Floris London candle, a chauffeur-driven car is on hand to whisk loved-up couples to London Heliport in Battersea. Guests can also expect a five-course dinner at the GBR restaurant.
Couples opting for the Love Package at Blakes Hotel in Kensington are faced with a dilemma. Guests can opt for a “Nice” night that includes a copy of Love Letters of Great Men, Amelia Rope chocolates and a bed strewn with rose petals; or a “Naughty” option with a Kiki de Montparnasse intimacy kit and a copy of the Kama Sutra. A stay is topped off with a champagne breakfast in bed.
Couples can indulge in an exclusive “Time to Share” experience in the Private Spa Suite at the Corinthia Hotel. The package includes a two-hour Espa treatment, 30-minute Rasul Healing Mud Ritual and access to the Thermal Floor. An optional blow-dry at the hotel’s Daniel Galvin salon adds to the pampering treat.
