(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Piccadilly Circus
At the start of our tour, we will explore the history of the sites that surround Piccadilly Circus and will uncover how sometimes, tour guides, guide books and London locals don't always get their history wrong. This cautionary tale involves one of London's most famous landmarks - and proves that Londoners never call anything by its proper name! We will also explore how a modern Italian restaurant, which hides its beautiful neo-byzantine decor, is linked to a wide range of TV shows and the worlds most famous consulting detective.
After walking down Piccadilly, where you will be told all about Hatchards, Simpson's, and Fortnum and Mason stores that are linked to writers, politicians, and royalty we will stop briefly outside the new Cavendish Hotel, and discover the sordid past of this London landmark. While the old hotel famous for the 'Duchess of Jermyn Street' - Rosa Lewis, may be gone, the new hotel gets its name from its scandalous predecessor which had linked to Edward VII and Winston Churchill!
James J. Fox & Robert Lewis
James J. Fox & Robert Lewis is the finest cigar shop in London- if not the world. Clients at this beautiful boutique have included every British monarch from Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II, and even Napoleon III! Various celebrities have also shopped here including Oscar Wilde who famously never settled his bill, and James J. Fox & Robert Lewis was a firm favourite of Sir Winston Churchill. Whilst here, you can learn about the famous people who have frequented this shop, and stock up on some of the finest Cuban cigars available anywhere in the world!
