bargain hunt in vintage Camden. Fill a weekend break to London by dining in style
in Mayfair or partying late in London's East End.
Dining and unwinding on London city breaks
Begin with a relaxed pub meal in Soho or South London's
Clapham district. Take a break from London city sightseeing with a coffee
on the River Thames. Mayfair boasts a string of Michelin-starred
restaurants, so head here to celebrate in style. For something different,
there's oriental food in bustling Chinatown. Sample inexpensive
curry and Middle Eastern snacks in trendy Shoreditch.

bed & breakfast accommodation while party-lovers on weekend breaks to London
are best off in the East End or Camden on London city breaks.
Things to do on London city breaks
Plan London city breaks well and make sure you fit in tourist-favourite Buckingham
Palace, 17th-century Saint Paul's Cathedral and political
Westminster. But look out for hidden gems, too, like the Sarcophagus of
Seti I at the John Soane Museum. For shopping, take your London city breaks
to the boutiques around world-famous department store Harrods in
Knightsbridge or the varied market stalls of Camden. Experience
the steamy side to London in a Soho club.
