"The domed glass-and-steel ceiling at the British Museum – the world’s first national museum opened to the public – lets light into the atrium-like Great Court below, bouncing off the blinding-white, sweeping staircases and marble walls. It’s one of the capital’s prettiest spaces, but beyond the impressive lobby, it has sprawling galleries dedicated to the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans. Artefacts including the Rosetta Stone, Pantheon Marbles (once a part of the original structure in Athens) and more than 120 mummies draw millions of visitors every year."

"When we arrived at Nobu Portman Square – referred to as ‘Marylebone’s sexiest hotel’ in our First In review in December 2020 – the atmosphere was rather electric. It's the latest outpost in the cosmopolitan restaurant and hotel empire founded in New York by Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa, actor Robert De Niro and film producer and businessman Meir Teper. A crowd of well-dressed and well-groomed people were mingling outside (or was that actually a relaxed, very un-British way of queuing?) and fast, beautiful cars were pulling up and revving their engines nearby, just to show they were part of the party."
