Luxury days out in London

Luxury experiences in London

Nowhere does glitz and glamour quite like London. This most royal of cities boasts designer boutiques, exclusive venues and events fit for a king.

But you don’t have to be royalty to enjoy the finer things in the capital. There are plenty of ways you can feel extra special with luxury London experiences. Here are some of the very best.

Take a helicopter tour of London

Is there a better way to see the historic and spectacular sights the city has to offer? Buzz past Big Ben, fly high above the lush parks and soar over the Thames far below you. You’ll get a bird’s eye view of countless iconic London landmarks, enjoying a vantage point usually reserved for VIPs. From where you’re sitting, one of the world’s great cities will sprawl out before you, revealing a patchwork of green spaces, impressive skyscrapers and glistening waterways.

As well as getting a first-class sightseeing tour, you’ll also experience the unparalleled thrill of a helicopter ride. You’ll rise high into the air, glide through London’s skies and savour every moment of this unforgettable experience. No matter how many times you’ve seen the sights here, a helicopter tour has to be one of the top things to do in London.

Experience a dinner cruise on the Thames River

Some restaurants come with a truly spectacular view, which dramatically enhances the dining experience and draws people in from far and wide. But if you take a dinner cruise on the Thames, you’ll have hundreds of incredible views with your special meal. Watch London’s iconic sights – from its historic attractions to its modern marvels – slide by as you’re wined and dined.

Many cruise operators offer evening entertainment, treating you to live performances as the lights of London illuminate the night. With the evening stretching out before you, indulge in cocktails, desserts and more – or head out onto the deck to soak up the scene on the Thames. You’ll see a side of London that you’ve never witnessed before, where the city seems to slow down just for you.

Shop where the stars do

London. Paris. Milan. New York.

London has long been one of the world’s fashion capitals. So it’s no surprise that it caters to the most discerning shoppers, as well as high-street fashionistas.

Bond Street, Dover Street Market and Mayfair are all favourites among followers of high fashion. There you can find some of the most exclusive brands on the planet.

But if you’re looking for luxury fashion on the cutting edge, East London has plenty to offer, including boutiques. Whereas Savile Row is still the destination if you need an exquisite tailor-made suit.

Whatever your needs and your tastes, if you’re treating yourself – or a lucky someone else – to a luxury shopping trip, London has you covered.

Watch an Arsenal game with a VIP Matchday Experience

As far as luxury London experiences go, the VIP Matchday Experience at Arsenal has to be right up there. Emirates Stadium is a masterpiece of a sporting arena, where the hospitality and facilities are second to none.
