WHY LONDON
The capital done properly: grand hotels, parks, galleries and a very good dinner.
Seen as a short break rather than a commute, London is one of the great city weekends: world-class galleries and theatre, parks you can walk end to end, grand hotels with pools and hammams, and dinner in Mayfair, Marylebone or on the South Bank. We pick the hotels that make staying in the point, and the culture on foot from them.
