Stepping onto Savile Row, the air hums with craftsmanship and timeless elegance as you enter a renowned tailor’s atelier, where the soft rustle of fine wool signals the beginning of your bespoke suit journey. Expert hands take precise measurements while you browse luxurious fabrics—perhaps a deep navy cashmere or a subtle Prince of Wales check—each selection reflecting your personal style.
With the first fittings arranged, you stroll to Floris, London’s storied perfumery, where an expert noses you through rare essences—warm sandalwood, crisp bergamot, or a hint of smoky oud—until your perfect, custom scent emerges. As your signature fragrance is bottled, you sip a glass of Champagne, savoring the sensory indulgence of a day devoted to sartorial and olfactory perfection.
Family Friendly Option:
Before the crowds arrive, step into Hamleys for an exclusive pre-opening VIP experience, the iconic toy emporium yours to explore. The scent of fresh popcorn and the sound of a toy train chugging along fill the air as expert demonstrators showcase the latest gadgets and classic treasures. Indulge in a touch of nostalgia, testing out timeless board games and admiring intricately crafted teddy bears before leaving with a bespoke selection of handpicked delights.
Then, high above London at The Shard, the magic continues with a Peter Pan-themed afternoon tea, where delicate pastries shaped like fairy wings and pirate ships accompany whimsical teas. As you sip a shimmering Neverland-inspired cocktail, gazing over the city’s skyline, you feel wrapped in the enchantment of childhood wonder and refined indulgence.

This morning, embark on a private bike tour that feels like a ride through time itself. The wheels hum over centuries-old cobblestones as you glide past the towering walls of the Tower of London, where whispers of imprisoned kings and traitorous plots still linger. Down hidden alleyways, your guide regales you with tales of pirates who once roamed the docks of Wapping, their legends entwined with the scent of the river breeze. Roman ruins peek through modern glass buildings, a testament to the city’s ancient resilience, while medieval palaces stand in quiet contrast to soaring skyscrapers. As you pass the grand halls of Leadenhall Market, a filming location from Harry Potter, it’s as if magic itself flickers in the air. With each turn, London’s layers unfold before you, revealing a city where history and myth ride side by side.
As dusk settles over London, you step aboard an elegant private yacht on the Thames, its deck softly illuminated by lanterns casting golden reflections on the water. A chilled glass of Champagne is handed to you as the boat glides past the city’s most iconic landmarks, the shimmering lights of Tower Bridge and the London Eye setting the perfect backdrop. A gourmet multi-course dinner is served and between courses, a troupe of actors brings the evening to life with an intimate performance, weaving a tale of romance or intrigue that unfolds around you, blurring the line between spectator and participant. As laughter and applause mingle with the gentle lapping of the river, the night feels like a beautifully scripted dream, written just for you.
