Vacation in London? Bespoke itinerary to suit YOU

London – it has everything. It is modern and vibrant yet steeped in history. It is a leader of fashion with some of the best shopping in the world. Its inhabitants are friendly and welcoming and its restaurants offer some of the finest dining of any European city. And of course, it is home to our Royal family.

 

Is it any wonder London attracts millions of overseas visitors each year.

 

But because there is so much to see and do, when you come to London how on earth do you start to plan your trip? How can you find the best of the best?

 

Well, you have two options: either spend hours and hours on the internet browsing one of the 300 street markets, 300 museums and galleries, 6000 restaurants and cafes, 5000 pubs and bars and that is even before you get to theatres!

 

Overwhelmed? Don’t worry I did say there were two options. The alternative is to find someone to do all the hard work for you.

 

No matter what your budget, a bespoke vacation in this vibrant city and surrounding area can be yours.

 

You could take in:

 

• A London dinner cruise on the Thames
• A tour of Shakespeare’s Stratford and Warwick Castle
• London city tour by bus
• London Eye flight

 

Or for the more extravagant of you:

 

• Afternoon cream tea at the Wolseley or The Ritz
• A private helicopter tour over London
• A shopping trip to Harrods, Selfridges or Harvey Nichols
• Lunch or dinner at Claridge’s, The Ivy, Bentley’s, The Fat Duck, Le Quat’ Saison

 

All you have to do is provide your travel dates, budget and details of what interests you. It is as simple as that.

 

So next time you come over to London, take the easy option and experience the true vibrancy of this exciting city.

Who else wants to dine with some of the world’s most eminent chefs?

Someone left the kitchen door open and the chefs have escaped. But all is not lost; you won’t go hungry as the critics are stepping in.

Yes, that’s right. For one night only you will be served a sumptuous banquet cooked for you by a brave band of ten food critics, including Charles Campion, Jay Rayner, Matthew Fort and Tom Parker-Bowles.
But what had happened to the chefs?

They will be sat out in the restaurant with other guests enjoying the sumptuous feast prepared by the critics. As well as the feast, entertainment is key to this whole event with the kitchen being in full sight of the diners exposing every foible of the critics.

Just to increase the pressure, the master of ceremonies BBC’s Nigel Barden, will be on hand to disrupt the cooks on duty for a chat and will invite the dining chefs to pass judgement on their cooking abilities and techniques.

This is a unique opportunity to dine with some of the world’s most eminent chefs such as Raymond Blanc, Ed Bains, Fergus Henderson and Atul Kochhar. If you are a member of The SaVVy Cub® you will be guaranteed to dine with one of the chefs, plus you will be presented with an exclusive souvenir plate signed by the chefs and critics.

The event takes place at the opulent Royal Exchange Grand Café and Bar on 19th October 2008. Your evening kicks off with a Champagne Taittinger canapés reception to get the taste buds going.

This is the perfect evening to see if the old adage ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’ also applies to too many critics!
