SHOP, EAT & DO LONDON

SHOP
The one-stop shopping destination in London is of course Harrods.  From high-end clothes to lingerie and an astounding collection of cosmetics - this famous shop has everything to offer.  But perhaps the most unique are the "great food halls" where you can pick up anything from a bottle of wine to unique confections, chocolates, pastries, coffees, cheeses, and meats. Anything that is likely to make your palate drool is likely there.  Don't miss the gelato bar where instead of sipping martinis, you can enjoy a delicious treat from days-gone-by, complete with a cherry-on-top and yummy whipped cream. Go ahead, indulge. Then burn off those calories by doing some additional shopping on Bond street - you can find pretty much anything there, at any price range.  www.harrods.com

EAT
This two Michelin star restaurant is named after one of the most expensive wines - Petrus. So you know it's not going to come cheap. But if you book in advance for lunch, you're in for a treat at a relative bargain by London standards - 35 pounds for a three course meal. Impeccable service, design, ingredients and Gordon Ramsay's standards is what you're bound to get. The kitchen even throws in 2-3 pre-appetizers and a pre-dessert (!). Now, THAT, you don't want to miss. www.gordonramsay.com/petrus

DO
There is no shortage of what to do in London, but there are a few highlights not to miss. Be sure to take a day to visit the British Museum (www.britishmuseum.org)and the Tate Modern (www.tate.org.uk). Finish off your day with some sweeping views from the London Eye (www.londoneye.com).
