  • Name of Shop: Regent, Oxford and Bond Streets

    Londoners love to shop, and our hotel in St. James District was close to all the hot spots. You can make a big shopping loop by walking up Regent Street to Oxford, then over to Bond Street. You'll see a line up like the Vogue advertising pages. My fashionista daughter wanted to shop in Top Shop (Kate Moss hearts Top Shop, apparently), where she spent a good 45 minutes with my credit card. She DOES know how to shop. She picked out a very attractive and flattering top that was heavily discounted and was priced at only 25 pounds. And I told her she could pick out one thing of anything she wanted. Now, THAT is a good daughter.

    We were in the shopping district on a Saturday afternoon, and the area is teeming with shoppers. If there is a recession going on, I couldn't see any evidence of it.

     Like you, I think the parks in London are not to be overlooked. They are part of this city's charm. Thank you for your tips.

     No, tofu isn't on the PChamlis menu these days. But, while in India, I ate my share of paneer.
