rich heritage and pageantry, you’re in for a treat as the Lord Mayor’s<br />

of participants take part in a wonderful procession that stretches for miles.<br />
There is sporting excitement out east, where adrenaline junkies can<br />
set their sights on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as the world’s<br />

of revving engines isn’t your thing, then head to The O2 for the<br />
Barclays ATP World Tour and the opportunity to see tennis stars<br />
Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in action.<br />

AND TRADITIONS<br />
No city does pomp and pageantry like London. As the Lord Mayor’s<br />
Show – a grand procession now in its 800th year – is watched by<br />
millions, make sure you’re one of them, writes Sarah Riches<br />
Agolden carriage sounds like<br />
something you would find in a<br />
fairytale, but during the Lord Mayor’s<br />
Show, a 258-year-old gilded carriage<br />
is just one of the many sights to behold.<br />
The annual show began in 1215, under<br />
King John. At the time, rising taxes and<br />
losing a war with France had made the king<br />
unpopular, so to win back the support of his<br />
people he agreed to allow the City of London<br />
to elect its own mayor. There was just one<br />
condition – every year the newly elected<br />
mayor had to leave the safety of the City,<br />
travel up the River Thames to the Palace of<br />
Westminster and swear loyalty to the crown.<br />
This journey was originally taken along the<br />
Thames; later it was made on horseback until<br />
the Lord Mayor fell off his horse in 1420 and<br />
broke his leg – a hired carriage was used after<br />
that. The current state coach is on display at the<br />
Museum of London when it is not being used.<br />
Over the centuries, crowds watched and the<br />
ritual turned into a rowdy festival – and by the<br />
1500s it was known as the Lord Mayor’s Show.<br />
Beatrice Behlen, a curator at the Museum of<br />
London, says: ‘The Lord Mayor’s Coach has<br />
London hasn’t missed<br />
hosting the annual Lord<br />
Mayor’s Show since 1852,<br />
when it made way for<br />
the Duke of Wellington’s<br />
funeral procession<br />

3,500 manholes and 197<br />
vacant properties along<br />
the route are searched<br />
and sealed before the<br />
show for security<br />
purposes<br />
been the focal point at nearly every Lord Mayor’s<br />
Show. The painted panels and decorative features<br />
emphasise the City’s wealth, while the coach is<br />
supported by cherubs representing Asia, Africa,<br />
America and Europe.<br />
Traditionally, the parade was held at the end<br />
of October and the route varied to accommodate<br />
the ward governed by each new mayor. But by<br />
1952, the three-and-a-half-mile route was fixed<br />
and, seven years later, the date was set as the<br />
second Saturday in November.<br />
Dominic Reid, the show’s pageant master,<br />
says: ‘To mark the 800-year anniversary, we have<br />
published A Spectacle for All Ages about the show’s<br />
history. A specially composed peal of bells at St<br />
Mary-le-Bow will also be heard on the day.’<br />
FOLLOW THE LEADER<br />
In its current formation, the Lord Mayor<br />
will sail on The Queen’s Rowbarge Gloriana,<br />
accompanied by a flotilla of rowing boats, in a<br />
river pageant that begins near Pimlico at 8.30am<br />
and ends near St Katharine Docks. The roadside<br />
procession begins at 11am from Mansion House.<br />
It heads along Cheapside and past St Paul’s<br />
Cathedral, where the Lord Mayor receives<br />
a blessing. Grandstands are set up here, although<br />
these must be booked in advance. The spectacle<br />
continues down Fleet Street, with the head of<br />
the parade passing the Royal Courts of Justice<br />
around 11.30am and the state coach catching<br />
up an hour later. It continues south to the river<br />
before looping back via Blackfriars at 2pm.<br />
A crowd of half a million people will be watching<br />
the parade on the streets, while millions more<br />
can see it live on BBC TV. Fireworks go off<br />
with a bang at 5.15pm between Blackfriars and<br />
Waterloo bridges. As roads are closed, you can<br />
watch from Embankment or the South Bank.<br />

MAKING A SPECTACLE<br />
London is filled with ceremonies and traditions, some of which<br />
are centuries old and take place throughout the year<br />
TROOPING THE COLOUR<br />
Trooping the Colour began in the 17th<br />
century under Charles II. After George III<br />
became king in 1760,<br />
parades marked his<br />
birthday. Today<br />
1,000 officers,<br />
200 horses and<br />
200 musicians<br />
from the<br />
Household<br />
Division<br />
parade from<br />
Buckingham<br />
Palace to Horse<br />
Guards Parade on<br />
the Queen’s official<br />
birthday every June. The Queen watches<br />
from her carriage when the clock on the<br />
Horse Guards’ building strikes 11am.<br />
Later she watches an RAF flypast from<br />
a balcony in Buckingham Palace.<br />
CHANGING THE GUARD<br />
Troops from the Household Division have<br />
guarded the monarch since 1660. When one<br />
regiment replaces another, the ritual is known<br />
as Changing the Guard. When the guard at<br />
Buckingham Palace is changed, part of the<br />
Old Guard marches from St James’s Palace on<br />
The Mall to Buckingham Palace at 11.15am and<br />
returns at 12.05pm. The ceremony can be seen<br />
at Horse Guards Parade and Windsor Castle, too.<br />
The Massed Band of the Household Division will<br />
also perform at Cadogan Hall on 28 & 29 Nov.<br />
CEREMONY<br />
OF THE KEYS<br />
This 35-minute<br />
ritual, in which the<br />
gates of the Tower of<br />
London are locked,<br />
has taken place every<br />
night for 700 years. A<br />
chief yeoman warder,<br />
carrying the Queen’s<br />
keys, locks the outer<br />
gate and the Middle<br />
and Byward towers.<br />
Guards salute the<br />
keys as they pass.<br />
A highlight is when<br />
a sentry challenges<br />
the warder before<br />
allowing them to<br />
pass. The event is<br />
free, but it is booked<br />
up until Jan 2016.<br />
STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT<br />
This tradition began in the 1500s, although the<br />
current ceremony dates from 1852. The state<br />
opening happens on the first day of a new<br />
parliamentary session or after a general election.<br />
The Queen leads a procession from Buckingham<br />
Palace to Westminster. An official, known as<br />
Black Rod, summons the Commons. The doors<br />
are shut in his face to symbolise the Commons’<br />
independence from the monarchy, and Black Rod<br />
strikes the door three times before it is opened.<br />

BOND<br />
FOR THE DAY<br />
The name’s Bond. James Bond... And you<br />
can be him, too, if you follow our guide<br />
to the spy’s secret haunts and hang-outs,<br />
says Dominic Wells<br />
alf a pint of orange juice, three<br />
eggs, lightly scrambled, with bacon,<br />
‘H a double portion of café espresso<br />
with cream. Toast. Marmalade. Got it?’<br />
This is how James Bond orders breakfast<br />
in Ian Fleming’s Live and Let Die, proving<br />
that he is far more particular about his food<br />
than he is his women. If you are inspired<br />
by the latest Bond film, SPECTRE, to play<br />
at being 007 for the day while in London,<br />
start with a traditional English breakfast.<br />
The Dorchester hotel is where Bond eats<br />
his ‘favourite meal of the day’ in William<br />
Boyd’s recent 007 novel, Solo.<br />
IF THE SHOE FITS<br />
To really understand someone, it is said<br />
that you need to walk a mile in their shoes.<br />
In 007’s case, these would be by Crockett<br />
& Jones, a fifth-generation family shoe<br />
business that has been making footwear<br />
since 1879. Bond wears its<br />
smart black calf-leather<br />
Camberley boots with two<br />
buckles during the Rome-set<br />
funeral scene in SPECTRE, and<br />
its classic Norwich shoes during<br />
an action sequence in London.<br />
The distinguished British shoemaker<br />
also does a fine range of ladies’<br />
shoes for aspiring Jane Bonds. Of its<br />
London branches, the one to visit is at<br />
69 Jermyn Street – which is right<br />
in the historic heartland of British tailoring<br />
and very much of Bond’s style.<br />
Turnbull & Asser – next door at 71-72 Jermyn<br />
Street and a St James’s stalwart since 1885 –<br />
has made shirts for every screen Bond since<br />
Sean Connery, and is also a Royal Warrant<br />
Holder. The bespoke tailor did get the<br />
measurements wrong once, but it was hardly<br />
its fault: when Daniel Craig started filming<br />
Casino Royale, an emergency tailor had to<br />
be flown out. Craig had bulked up so much<br />
between the fitting and the filming that the<br />
shirts were too small for him!<br />

Stop off for a drink or two at the legendary<br />
Dukes Bar on St James’s Place, where<br />
James Bond creator Ian Fleming acquired<br />
the famous line “shaken, not stirred”.<br />
Instead of ordering the classic Bond<br />
martini, you can try the Fleming 89: it was<br />
made in conjunction with Floris of London,<br />
the Jermyn Street perfumier that in the<br />

ooks supplies Bond with his favourite scent,<br />
the woody, warm-scented Floris No 89.<br />
Don’t have too many, or you might give in to<br />
the temptation to splash out on James Bond<br />
items. You can take home first-edition copies of<br />
Octopussy or The Living Daylights for £65 and<br />
a wide range of other rare Bond books at Peter<br />
Harrington at 43 Dover Street. Bigger ticket<br />
items include Omega’s new Aqua Terra SPECTRE<br />
watch, in a limited edition of 15,007 and priced<br />
at £4,630, and Aston Martin’s new DB9 GT<br />
Bond Edition sports car, in a limited edition<br />
of just 150, which would leave you with quite<br />
a hangover at £165,000.<br />
EXHIBITIONS<br />
AND TOURS<br />
Bond cars can be<br />
enjoyed for a lot less<br />
at the London Film<br />
Museum, where the<br />
exhibition Bond in<br />
Motion has proved so popular it’s been extended<br />
long after the original closing date. As well as<br />
the cars from the movies, there are submarines,<br />
boats and motorcycles, and recently added<br />
vehicles used in SPECTRE.<br />
Next, work out which big-screen Bond you<br />
want to emulate by visiting Madame Tussauds,<br />
where all six have been newly sculpted and are<br />
displayed together for the first time. Thus<br />
inspired, you’re ready for some action. Take<br />
the London Duck Tours’ James Bond Tour,<br />
on which you’ll visit some of the locations<br />

used in the films, as well as where Ian Fleming<br />
himself lived. And at the end, the London Duck<br />
Tour’s amphibious vehicle splashes down in the<br />
river, opposite the real MI6 building! Or take<br />
one of the Brit Movie Tours’ James Bond Tours.<br />
Even better, you can recreate Bond’s speedboat<br />
rides along the Thames (as seen in The World<br />
is Not Enough, and also SPECTRE) on the<br />
ThamesJet RIB-boat, which performs<br />
thrilling ‘aquabatic’ stunts<br />
and reaches speeds of 40mph.<br />
If you still have the energy,<br />
climb over The O2 in the Up at<br />
The O2 experience. Back when<br />
it was called the Millennium<br />
Dome, Pierce Brosnan’s Bond<br />
also got to the top, though he did so<br />
rather more dramatically – by falling<br />
on to it from an exploding hot-air balloon.<br />
GO ALL IN!<br />
By now, you might be feeling exhausted. But ask<br />
yourself: would James Bond go to bed early with<br />
a cup of hot chocolate? This is London, and the<br />
night is still young: spend a Bond-like evening in<br />
the casino – white tux entirely optional.<br />
Les Ambassadeurs Club near Hyde Park<br />
Corner is where Sean Connery first uttered<br />
the immortal line ‘The name’s Bond, James<br />
Bond’, but as that is a members’ only casino,<br />
head to the Hippodrome Casino on Leicester<br />
Square. It has four floors of table and<br />
electronic gaming, including Casino<br />
Royale-style poker in the PokerStars<br />
Live room on the top balcony. It’s<br />
easy to spot if someone’s bluffing.<br />
It’s all in the eyes…<br />
Finally, before bed (ideally with<br />
a glamorous spy you’ve managed<br />
to pick up at the Baccarat table),<br />
celebrate your winnings with<br />
a nightcap. Belvedere vodka,<br />
Bollinger Champagne, Château<br />
Angélus wine and Macallan whisky are<br />
featured in SPECTRE. Try them all and you’ll<br />
really be seeing double… oh seven.<br />

Greenwich has a magical mix of old and new, from the Cutty Sark, the last<br />
surviving tea clipper, to the capital’s only cable car, says Sarah Riches<br />

There are few better<br />
places to be than at<br />
the top of Greenwich<br />
Park. The 183-acre<br />
space dates back to<br />
Roman times and is<br />
part of a UNESCO<br />
World Heritage Site<br />
because it overlooks<br />
the National Maritime<br />
Museum and the Old<br />
Royal Naval College.<br />
As you look out, you can<br />
see the River Thames,<br />
Canary Wharf and the<br />
surrounding area that<br />
is steeped in history.<br />

Cutty Sark<br />
The Cutty Sark, the last<br />
surviving tea clipper,<br />
first set sail in 1869.<br />
A year later, laden with<br />
wine, spirits and beer,<br />
she made her maiden<br />
voyage to China – the<br />
first of eight trips –<br />
before returning with<br />
a cargo of tea. Reaching<br />
speeds of 17 knots<br />
(20mph), she visited<br />
every major port,<br />
trading coal, jute and<br />
wool. Hop on board<br />
the 85m ship and see<br />
her 47m mast up close.<br />
The ship is raised above<br />
ground, so you can<br />
explore underneath it.<br />
Look out for regular<br />
events on board, too.<br />

Greenwich<br />
Market<br />
There are 120 stalls<br />

design (Wed; Fri-Sun).<br />
It’s a great place to pick<br />
up gifts and souvenirs<br />
such as jewellery made<br />
from silver spoons or<br />
framed photos of<br />
London. It also has food<br />
stalls selling everything<br />
from ramen and paella<br />
to Ethiopian stew and<br />
Brazilian churros. Look<br />

Observatory is home<br />
to the Meridian Line,<br />
making it the official<br />
starting point for each<br />
new day, year and<br />
millennium. Walk<br />
across an oversized<br />
world map, stargaze<br />
in the capital’s only<br />
planetarium, see the<br />
UK’s largest refracting<br />
telescope and admire<br />
Lord Admiral Nelson’s<br />
uniform. Outside, you<br />
can also stand on either<br />
side of the Meridian –<br />
which means you’ll<br />
be in the eastern and<br />
western hemispheres<br />
at the same time.<br />

on the front line. To 8 Jan. Mon-Fri & alternative<br />

t its peak, the British<br />
Empire was the largest<br />
the world had ever seen,<br />
with so many territories<br />
that it was described<br />
as ‘the empire on which the<br />
sun never sets’. When it began<br />
to spread during the<br />
16th century, artists<br />
responded to it<br />
in different ways.<br />
While some<br />
used their work<br />
to reinforce<br />
the empire,<br />
others chose<br />
to resist it.<br />
Artist and<br />
Empire at Tate<br />
Britain (from<br />
25 Nov; p. 53) brings<br />
together more than<br />
150 paintings, drawings,<br />
photographs, sculptures, maps<br />
and artefacts from across the<br />
British Isles, North America,<br />
the Caribbean, the Pacific, Asia<br />
and Africa. Together, these<br />
extraordinary works tell the<br />
story of how the British Empire<br />
influenced art for 400 years.<br />
Among the displays are<br />
paintings by Anthony Van<br />
Dyck, Johann Zoffany and<br />
Elizabeth Thompson, also<br />
known as Lady Butler, who<br />
was one of the few female<br />
painters to achieve<br />
recognition for<br />
history paintings.<br />

problematic legacy of the<br />
British Empire in many<br />

A naval genius, a socialite and a gossip are just<br />
some of the ways to describe Samuel Pepys<br />
(above), one of the most colourful characters<br />
of 17th-century Britain. Samuel Pepys:<br />
Plague, Fire, Revolution at the National<br />
Maritime Museum (from 20 Nov) is the<br />
largest ever exhibition about the diarist, who<br />
lived through many of the great events that<br />
changed Britain forever. Explore 200 objects<br />
that relate to Pepys’ diary, which he began<br />
writing in 1660 on board the ship that carried<br />
Charles II out of exile, and hear about how<br />
he played truant from school to witness the<br />
execution of King Charles I in 1649.<br />

Dutch artists in the 17th century would often<br />
portray ordinary people doing everyday tasks,<br />
but their paintings were far from humdrum.<br />
You can admire some exquisite works from<br />
the Royal Collection in Masters of the<br />
Everyday: Dutch Artists in the Age of<br />
Vermeer at The Queen’s Gallery (from<br />
13 Nov; p. 48). Johannes Vermeer, Pieter de<br />
Hooch (above) and Jan Steen are among the<br />
artists who lived during the ‘Golden Age’ – a<br />
time when the Netherlands led the way in art,<br />
commerce and science. Their works capture<br />
daily life in extraordinary detail, a style that<br />
is still mesmerising us now, 300 years on.<br />

Have you ever watched a show and wished<br />
you could decide the ending? Well, with<br />
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical<br />
at The Apollo (to 29 Nov; p. 58), you can.<br />
In this performance based on audience<br />
suggestions, no two nights are the same.<br />
There is no script, score and set. Instead,<br />
an actor encourages the audience to shout<br />
out suggestions for settings – an asylum,<br />
Sherwood Forest or the Arctic, say – before<br />
voting for their favourite one by cheering.<br />
As the show has already proved to be a hit<br />
on BBC Radio 4 and at the Edinburgh<br />
Festival Fringe, you can bet it will be<br />
inventive. With any luck, the story could be<br />
a four-part harmony about a tragic penguin<br />
in wartime Britain. Whatever the plot, it’s<br />
bound to make you giggle.<br />

When Blur’s Damon Albarn was asked how<br />
he would update Alice in Wonderland, he<br />
pointed to his iPhone and said: ‘There’s the<br />
rabbit hole.’ Wonder.land at the National<br />
Theatre (from 23 Nov; p. 60) follows the<br />
adventures of unhappy Aly, 12, who escapes<br />
into an alternative world through her<br />
mobile and becomes Alice. Wonder.land,<br />
which is aimed at children aged 10 and<br />
above, as well as adults, celebrates the<br />
150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s iconic<br />
children’s tale. Award-winning Albarn<br />
has written the music, and the design<br />
team behind War Horse provides neon<br />
lights, computer-generated imagery and<br />
psychedelic costumes. Alice may be<br />
150 years old, but she’s not dead yet.<br />

Just a few weeks after the Rugby<br />
World Cup final at Twickenham,<br />
the ‘home of rugby’ welcomes<br />
the famous Barbarians team for<br />
their 125th anniversary match<br />
in the Killik Cup Autumn<br />
International (21 Nov; p. 67).<br />
They play Argentina for only the<br />
second time in this celebration<br />
game. Argentina, who were World<br />
Cup semi-finalists in 2007 and<br />
quarter-finalists in 2011, are also<br />
celebrating the 50th anniversary<br />
of their first overseas tour.<br />
englandrugby.com/twickenham<br />
<br />
Lee Valley VeloPark hosts the<br />
Track Cycling Revolution<br />
Series (14 Nov; p. 67; below), where<br />
the world’s top male and female<br />
cyclists race to qualify for the 2016<br />
Rio Olympics. This is the third<br />
round of six, each of which takes<br />
place in different British venues.<br />
cyclingrevolution.com<br />
<br />
See the fastest men on four wheels<br />
as they compete in the Race of<br />
Champions (20-21 Nov; p. 67),<br />
a contest at the Queen Elizabeth<br />
Olympic Stadium which sees the<br />
greatest drivers from the worlds<br />
of Formula 1, MotoGP and World<br />
Rally, including Sebastian Vettel,<br />
Felipe Massa, Jorge Lorenzo and<br />
David Coulthard. Get ready for<br />
some high-octane drama!<br />

<br />
<br />
ere in England, we are<br />
accustomed to seeing<br />
the lush green courts<br />
of south-west London<br />
host the prestigious<br />
Wimbledon Championships.<br />
But this month, there is<br />
tennis in a very different<br />
type of venue as The O2<br />
arena, which is more used to<br />
staging mega-gigs, puts on the<br />
Barclays ATP World Tour<br />
Finals (15-22 Nov; p. 67).<br />
The culmination of the ATP<br />
World Tour is now the biggest<br />
indoor tennis tournament in<br />
the world. It brings together<br />
the best of men’s<br />
tennis: only the<br />
top eight in the<br />
world qualify.<br />
To reach the<br />
Barclays ATP<br />
World Tour<br />
Finals, tennis<br />
players earn<br />
qualifying<br />
points in<br />
tournaments<br />
played during the tennis<br />
season. By the time the<br />
ATP event comes to the<br />
capital, the men’s tennis<br />
world is whittled down<br />
to an elite field.<br />
First to qualify for the<br />
event was Novak Djokovic,<br />
who is the world’s number<br />
one, current Wimbledon<br />
champion and winner of the<br />
ATP World Tour trophy for<br />
the past three years. Andy<br />
Murray also confirmed his<br />
place: ‘It’s good to [qualify]<br />
with a long time to spare,’<br />
the British number one said.<br />
Added to the list of<br />
players is Swiss<br />
superstar Roger<br />
Federer who, at the age<br />
of 34, is looking better<br />
than ever. He is set to<br />
break his own record<br />
with an impressive<br />
14th successive<br />
appearance at<br />
this tournament.<br />

Primrose Hill is one of London’s<br />
prettiest neighbourhoods. The hill,<br />
with its views that look out on to<br />
the capital, are a big draw, but now<br />
that the Primrose Hill Market<br />
has launched, there is yet another<br />
reason to visit. It takes place every<br />
Saturday in St Paul’s School,<br />
Elsworthy Rd, NW3 3DS from<br />
10am until 3pm, and sells locally<br />
sourced food such as cakes,<br />
meats, vegetables and wine.<br />

street in the UK, makes sure you don't<br />
have to. There are currently three drop-off<br />

and more in shops that include Gap,<br />
Barbour, Hunter, Lacoste and Wolford.<br />
The useful service is swift: drop off your<br />
purchases and your goods will arrive at<br />
your hotel on the same day. Download the<br />
app to track the movement of your bags and<br />
locate drop-off shops. DropIt’s can be bought<br />
as single, one-day or three-day passes.<br />

ingle-dish restaurants<br />
are nothing new in<br />
London. From oyster<br />
bars and steakhouses<br />
to burger joints and<br />
pizzerias, the capital has<br />
long been full of places that<br />
specialise in one type of food.<br />
Lately, however, the concept<br />
has become a trend,<br />
with restaurants<br />
looking to serve<br />
increasingly<br />
unusual dishes,<br />
from arancini<br />
at Arancini<br />
Brothers (115a<br />
Kentish Town<br />
Rd, NW1 8PB)<br />
to cereal in Cereal<br />
Killer Café (139 Brick<br />
Lane, E1 6SB). Now, finally,<br />
London has a restaurant<br />
dedicated to meatballs, too.<br />
Tucked away down Greek<br />
Street, near beautiful Soho<br />
Square, Balls & Company<br />
has not only perfected the<br />
classic meatball (made with<br />
tender wagyu beef and served<br />
medium rare), but a variety<br />
of other balls, not all of them<br />
made with meat. Served in<br />
the pan with a choice of<br />
sauces, each of the balls we<br />
tried was delicately seasoned,<br />
elegantly presented and perfect<br />
for sharing in the restaurant’s<br />
stylishly minimalist,<br />
Scandinavianstyle<br />
space.<br />
Half the fun<br />
is in choosing<br />
which varieties<br />
go best with<br />
which sauces.<br />
The salmon balls<br />
with dill and seeds<br />
were brought to life<br />
by a béchamel sauce, for<br />
example, while the pork balls<br />
(made with pork, milk bread,<br />
ricotta, Parmesan, pine nuts and<br />
sage) are best with a generous<br />
drizzle of garlicky Romesco.<br />

Broadgate Circle is buzzing with restaurants,<br />
making it a great alternative to Spitalfields<br />
market nearby. One of the best in this lively<br />
social space is the big surf-and-turf eaterie,<br />
Crab Tavern Seafood & Bar. There are no<br />
prizes for guessing what’s on the menu, but if<br />
you don’t fancy crab, there are plenty of turf<br />
options, such as steak and chips, or pot roast<br />
chicken. The seafood is the star here, though:<br />
the crab is so fresh, it tastes as though it has<br />
scuttled sideways from sea to plate in a matter<br />
of seconds. Our black pepper squid starter<br />
was wonderful, as were the king crab legs<br />
with garlic butter. If you can’t jet off to<br />
Maine, a visit to Crab Tavern is definitely<br />
the next best thing.<br />

Congratulations to Icebar London<br />
as it toasts its 10th birthday.<br />
The UK’s only permanent bar<br />
made of ice – kept at a chilly -5°C<br />
all year round – is marking the<br />
occasion by transforming into<br />
a celebration of rock music with a<br />
six foot-tall ice skull sculpture,<br />
a bar decorated with punk-rock<br />
ice studs, a carved Throne of Rock<br />
and specially created cocktails<br />
named after classic anthems<br />
such as Stairway to Heaven,<br />
Eye of the Tiger and Livin’ on<br />
a Prayer. As general manager<br />
Matthieu Bourgogne says:<br />
‘For those about to rock at<br />
Icebar London, we salute you!’<br />
31-33 Heddon St, W1B 4BN<br />
et your trip off to a<br />
flying start at NY-LON.<br />
Cabin crew in red<br />
neckties greet you by<br />
an electronic screen as<br />
you enter the lounge bar that is<br />
inspired by Delta Air Lines’ and<br />
Virgin Atlantic’s route between<br />
New York and London.<br />
Once you’ve checked in,<br />
check out the bar. With<br />
no hand luggage to<br />
worry about, you<br />
can swish along<br />
the brightly lit<br />
corridor, which<br />
is decorated with<br />
airport codes.<br />
The bar resembles<br />
a business lounge<br />
decorated in red and<br />
blue – the colours of the<br />
two airlines – and the<br />
cushions have photos of Big<br />
Ben and the Empire State<br />
Building printed on them.<br />
There is an extensive<br />
selection of spirits and global<br />
wines. Try an aviation-themed<br />
cocktail such as the delicious<br />
Transatlantic, which is made<br />
with Prosecco, Galliano,<br />
raspberry purée and lemon<br />
oil – it’s just the ticket.<br />
The food is also more Top Gun<br />
than Airplane! – think sharing<br />
boards loaded with smoked<br />
salmon, cheese or pastrami.<br />
Members of the airlines’<br />
frequent-flyer schemes,<br />
SkyMiles and Flying<br />
Club, benefit from<br />
discounts. If you<br />
want to feel as<br />
though you’re in<br />
first-class, visit<br />
the VIP room,<br />
which costs £100<br />
per hour – you'll push<br />
through a shelf and find<br />
yourself around an Arabian<br />
‘flying carpet’ table (inset),<br />
where you can get a drink at<br />
the touch of a button!<br />

It is often said that jazz was born in<br />
New Orleans but grew up in Kansas City,<br />
Missouri – a city that ignored Prohibition<br />
in the 1920s, attracting musicians from<br />
across the United States. Several decades<br />
later and many thousands of miles away, you<br />
can get a taste of this hedonistic era at a new<br />
subterranean jazz bar, Kansas Smitty’s,<br />
which is hidden beneath one of east London’s<br />
trendiest streets. The bar is named after the<br />
house band which performs regularly with<br />
visiting musicians in an intimate, strippedback<br />
room. The drinks selection is small<br />
but the juleps are exceptional and the<br />
staff are true jazz lovers, which adds to the<br />
exciting atmosphere. Check the website for<br />
the latest line-ups and book online if you can.<br />

Snowdonia is the highest peak in England and<br />
Wales and at Plas Y Brenin – The National<br />

hill-walking and navigation to scrambling<br />
and mountaineering. pyb.co.uk.<br />
What goes up must come down, and at Zip<br />

want to zip with friends, Zip World Titan near<br />
the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog has the first<br />
four-person zip line in Europe. zipworld.co.uk.<br />

has to be seen to be believed. The limestone<br />
mountains here are riddled with hundreds of<br />
miles of caves including this 16km network of<br />

with its beautiful formations; the Bone Cave,<br />
so called because the remains of 42 people<br />
dating back to the Bronze Age have been<br />
discovered in its chamber; and the majestic<br />
Cathedral Cave, with its<br />

Gower was the first place in Britain to be<br />
named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty<br />
by virtue of its geology and outstanding coastal<br />
habitats and it’s easy to see why – it is stunning.<br />
The award-winning beaches are exquisite,<br />
particularly at Rhossili Bay, with its three<br />
mile-long sandy beach. Here, you can expect<br />
to see all kinds of birdlife, including guillemots,<br />
razorbills and kittiwakes, on the jagged rocky<br />
island of Worm’s Head. enjoygower.com.<br />
The only National Park in the UK that is<br />
focused on the coastline demonstrates the<br />
importance of the flora and fauna of the<br />
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It’s also<br />

The medieval castle at Caerphilly is Wales’s<br />
largest castle. It was built in the 13th century<br />
by Gilbert ‘the Red’ de Clare, a red-headed<br />
nobleman of Norman descent, and the<br />
impressive stone fortifications are surrounded<br />
by moats and watery islands that today make<br />
such a wonderful scene. More recently, it’s been<br />
used as a location for TV programmes Doctor<br />
Who, Merlin and Wolf Hall in which it doubled<br />
as the Tower of London. Don’t miss the views<br />
from the high towers across the moat. cadw.gov.<br />

Given that it’s the capital of Wales, Cardiff has<br />
countless sights – tour the Millennium Stadium<br />
where you can pay homage to Wales’ rugby<br />
heroes. millenniumstadium.com/tours.<br />
Cardiff Bay is another highlight as the old<br />
docklands have been overhauled and the area is<br />
now packed with visitor attractions, including<br />
an international arts centre and the Doctor Who<br />
Experience. For the best views of the front, make<br />
sure you take a thrilling boat trip across the bay.<br />
