Top 10 Ultimate Luxury Experiences To Enjoy In London

Spa Experience at Claridge’s

The much-anticipated arrival of the Spa at Claridge’s has wowed even the most seasoned luxury connoisseur. This legendary London hotel unveiled its latest opening in 2012 and it is the first service of its kind in the hotel’s 200 plus year history.

This subterranean paradise, designed by architect Andree Fu, is a 7,000-square foot utopia, replete with a stunning heated swimming pool, sauna and steam room, treatment rooms where you can indulge in the most luxurious skincare, including the renowned Augustinus Bader ‘Method’ facial. The spa also has a hair salon courtesy of colour maestro, Josh Wood, to ensure you leave the hotel with the glossiest mane in Mayfair. We could go on, but this spa must be experienced to be believed.

Afternoon Tea at The Beaumont

It’s a rarefied world at the five-star Beaumont hotel in Mayfair, and their exquisite afternoon tea is no exception. Served in the elegant Gatsby Room, inspired by the hotel’s 1920’s-style building, is a place that feels untouched by the passing of time – a serene escape from the outside world.

Here you can indulge in classic afternoon tea, with a selection of delicate finger sandwiches, decadent pastries and warm scones served with clotted cream and jam. The ‘tea’ element comes from master growers, Jing teas – one of our personal favourites.

We’re also impressed by their Vegan tea, as well as a mini tea specially designed for children, which ensures all diets are catered for; but then, you wouldn’t expect any less from The Beaumont.

Liberty department store positively exudes a quiet luxury, known for their sumptuous fabrics, elegant designer brands and refined service. It’s a store like no other and a visit to the Tudor-revival building is a day out in itself.

If you’re a fan of Liberty’s thoughtfully curated designer clothes we think their personal shopping service is one of the best the city has to offer. Their expert team will curate the perfect personal shopping wardrobe all in the privacy of your own private suite. We think this service is excellent particularly if you have a big event or special occasion coming up and need to ensure you have a series of ‘looks’ right at your fingertips.

Private Helicopter Tour Over London

Fancy a romantic helicopter ride for two? If you’re looking to find for the perfect gift to impress a loved one, we think this tour in the sky provide the most romantic backdrop imaginable.

Set off in the sky for a 35-minute tour which takes in some of London’s most breath-taking sights, including the River Thames, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, to name a few. And all the while enjoying a bottle of Champagne.

This is one of the most exceptional private tours, and one of the most memorable gifts we have come across.

Cocktails at the American Bar at The Savoy

London’s premier bar destination is also the city’s longest surviving cocktail bar. The American Bar first opened in 1893 and has served some of the world’s most legendary names, including Ernest Hemingway, Winston Churchill, and Marylin Monroe. There’s barely a name that hasn’t passed through the doors that hasn’t enjoyed one of the iconic cocktails.

Here you can enjoy vintage cocktails alongside newly launched creations that will tantalise the tastebuds.

We recommend a classic Martini with a twist if you fancy something refined and old-school. It’s also the prime spot for a vintage bottle of Champagne…just don’t forget to order the Beluga Caviar and blinis!

Private Pod at The London Eye

Looking to experience The London Eye with friends and family? If so, a Private Pod will be the best way to enjoy the iconic attraction in the company of those closest. This is a unique way to see the sights with 360-degree views across the city.

The luxurious experience starts even before you enter the pod as you and your group will have a VIP check-in with Fast Track boarding, so no waiting around.

When you book your Private Pod you can also add on food and drink. We admit, there’s nothing quite like raising a glass of Champagne high above the London skyline!

Stay at The NoMad London

The NoMad is one of London’s chicest five-star hotels, centrally located in the heart of Covent Garden. Housed in a stunning Grade II listed building that was the former Bow Magistrates Court. The building has been thoughtfully transformed courtesy of New York interior design studio, Roman and Williams.

We think this hotel is the perfect spot in which to enjoy the very best the city has to offer. For instance, The Royal Opera House is directly opposite. It also happens that our favourite suite – the Royal Opera Suite – has the most gorgeous view of this legendary venue. This luxurious space comes with separate living and entertaining rooms, a super king bed and freestanding clawfoot bathtub. It’s the best of London living where you don’t have to lift a finger.

Dine at Bob Bob Ricard in Soho

If the word ‘luxury’ could be used to describe any restaurant we would give the honour to Bob Bob Ricard. This sumptuous, art-deco style restaurant in the heart of Soho is a venue which positively exudes glamour. Just take the ‘Press for Champagne’ button which can be found at every booth.

The menu is a delectable mix of both classic British and French dishes, using the very finest ingredients.

To begin the culinary journey, we suggest the Degustation of three caviars with a glass of Champagne, moving on to the Scallop, Lobster and Shrimp Pelmeni, and then to the main of Beef Wellington (for 2) served with truffle jus. If there’s any room after that, the Strawberries and Cream Soufflé is simply divine.
