London

If you had 24 hours to re-discover the city, what would you eat, see, drink, and do?

I’d spend it in bed, like a complete decadent, at Blakes (the Library Suite, naturally) with limitless champagne, books, and Lebanese takeaway from The Cedar in Maida Vale. But if I didn’t win the lottery, then I’d make sure I went to Brown’s Hotel for afternoon tea, Sir John Soane’s museum, browse the used bookshops on Charing Cross road, and then walk the streets all night for the atmosphere.
