Choosing your spot to set as home base doesn’t have to be overwhelming\u2014London is home to plenty of chic properties. Perhaps the most iconic hotel in London, Claridge<\/a>\u2019s is an absolute classic\u2014packed full of old-school grandeur and timeless charm. Even if you can\u2019t swing a stay, it\u2019s worth stepping into the lobby just to soak up the fabulousness of it all (and maybe spot the odd celeb or two). The Ned<\/a> is another stay that simply transports\u2014the kind of place you could spend an entire weekend without setting foot outside, floating from the dreamy subterranean spa to martinis at Library Bar, followed by a slap-up meal at Lutyens Grill. Plus, the rooftop pool is a knockout.<\/p>\n

If you’re after one of the slickest addresses in the city, the Rosewood<\/a> is pure class, and the location couldn’t be more perfect for London first-timers. My biggest tip? Don\u2019t skip Scarfes Bar\u2014it\u2019s one of the best drinking spots around. If buzzy is a priority, the Martin Brudzinski-designed Broadwick Soho<\/a> is still a relative newcomer to the London scene, but it\u2019s already embedded itself as a fave with locals and visitors alike, and for good reason. Find me at Flute, the disco-chic rooftop bar, snapping pics of the interiors with one hand and a cocktail in the other. Spending the night at the NoMad London<\/a>, which is housed in a former magistrates\u2019 court in the middle of Covent Garden, is a sure-fire way to leave feeling more cultured than when you arrived, plus the newly revamped restaurant\u2014Twenty8 NoMad\u2014is worth a visit alone. Don\u2019t leave without booking a treatment with expert facialist Katie England; I promise it\u2019ll be one of the best you\u2019ve ever experienced. For something with constant energy, every night feels like a Friday night at The Standard<\/a>, right in the middle of London\u2019s regenerated King\u2019s Cross. Don\u2019t let the Brutalist exterior fool you\u2014inside is a retro-futuristic playground with one heck of a restaurant (Decimo) on the 10th floor.<\/p>\n\n

Hyde Park<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

One of London\u2019s largest green spaces, Hyde Park is perfect for a stroll in any season but particularly in the autumn when the leaves begin to change, and the whole park becomes a jewel box of browns, reds, and golds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
