Prestige London Citi presents LUXE City Guides The cult pocket city guides and mobile apps for the busy, sophisticated traveler www.luxecityguides.com
If there’s one city that is never out of fashion its London.
You may not understand British humor (not even the British do) and you will almost certainly encounter inclement weather, but with her hyper-fash forward design scene, vintage and custom tailoring that’s the envy of the world, history, romance and intrigue in every footstep and treasure in spades, it’s little wonder that travelistas the planet over put London at the top of their pilgrimage wish list. Add a startling resurgence of fine, artisanally-sourced British cooking and a world class bar scene and nightlife, and you won’t just be visiting, you’ll be immigrating.
