Westminster, London

The swish Mayfair district is where you can stroll down find Park Lane and gaze at a dazzling array of the city's picture-postcard architecture.

If you love labels, you’ll be in heaven with all the big designer stores, from Gucci to Ralph Lauren, on New Bond Street. Other shop-till-you-drop venues include Fortnum & Mason and Hamley's.

Its mansions and big city feel continue to St. James' park; the grounds for England's Royal Buckingham Palace. The area is well-connected with public transport.
