Why London for a Anniversary Escape trip
London celebrates anniversaries with old-world theater. Choose a landmark hotel in Mayfair or on the Strand, book a suite overlooking Green Park or the Thames, and begin with afternoon tea in a historic tearoom. Pair a night at the Royal Opera House or a West End premiere with a late supper, then a nightcap in a wood-paneled hotel bar where the bartenders have worked for decades. A morning walk through St James's Park toward Buckingham Palace completes a very British celebration.
London's luxury is rooted in heritage: Edwardian hotels with liveried doormen, afternoon tea served with ceremony, and private members' culture that spills into the best addresses. It pairs that tradition with a world-class restaurant scene, West End theater, Savile Row tailoring and some of the finest museums anywhere, many of them free and within walking distance of Mayfair.
When to go: May through September brings the longest days, the warmest weather and the city's parks at their greenest, though rain is possible in any month. December is cold but festive, with the shopping streets and department stores dressed for the holidays.
