Any shopper could happily spend a good hour roaming the glossy halls of London's most glamourous department store, but the Food Hall, for its beautifully tiled and gilded walls as much as its wares, is the corner that will really take your breath away. Who even knew that macarons came in so many colours? If you've just had lunch, start with a wander through the dazzling jewellery collections, or admire the pedigree puppies (and designer doggie accessories) in the pet department.

Exhibition RoadNational Gallery
Trafalgar SquareYou could fill months exploring London's art scene, and many of its galleries and exhibits are iconic. Often the most memorable, though, are the exhibitions that fill Tate Modern's five-storey high Turbine Hall from October to March. Once you've had your fill of the gallery's eclectic collection and unique events, head outside to take in the building itself from a blustery vantage point on the Millennium Bridge.

Parks & Nature
Green Park Station
PiccadillyMy favourite park.
Hyde Park may be a touch more famous, but Regent's Park is London's finest. It contains more fun than one park should be able to hold: a boating lake, an open-air theatre, several award-winning gardens, playing fields, a pub, an ice-cream shop and even London Zoo. Wander through Queen Mary's Garden to admire the city's largest collection of roses and get some fresh air away from traffic-packed bustle of the rest of central London.
