The VIPUpgrades blog is going to be running a series of blog posts on great cities alongside our new series “Tales from a Frequent Traveller”.

London is one of the great cities of the world. Ok so the weather except for at the moment is not always something you can rely on.It does not matter though, it is an amazing city with so much to offer.

Where to start there is so much to do, so much to see! Whether you are going to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Royal Academy, the British Museum, or going to a show or a concert of which there are too many to name at any one time. There are numerous shows, activities and events all the time for all the family to enjoy.

It is a city to see, shop, eat and enjoy!

Here are some of VIPUpgrades’ favourite restaurants, shopping haunts and things to do:

Some of our favourite restaurants:

Rules – the oldest restaurant in London.

Il Portico in High Street Kensington. We love this restaurant for its great Italian food and warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The Wolseley for a touch of old style glamour.

Where to shop – well there are so many places. Whether you are wondering down the King’s road with the famousPeter Jones at its helm, Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge or the Westfield Shopping Mall, there is so much choice for any budget.

What to do with Kids – there are so many things to see and visit. From the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels, to the amazing London parks with wonderful playgrounds for kids. You have to take the kids to Holland Park and the Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens. These are truly lovely parks for kids.

The Science Museum in London is interactive and kids just love it. Close by is the Natural History Museum which has an incredible collection and is a firm favourite.
