While London remains a second home, thanks in part to our love of the UK but mostly because work brings us here twice per year. On this 17th visit in 10 years, I highlight a few of the properties we’ve had the opportunity to stay including the features of the newly refurbished, venerable institutionThe Ritz London in Piccadilly, pictured above, as taken from our taxi en route to the property. The perfectly situated property sits across the street from Green Lane Park, within two blocks of the Royal Academy of Arts, shopping on Jermyn Street, around the corner from the happy, rotating Yo! Sushi, my ultimate favorite Japanese fast food. I’ll have to add-on the typical London jaunts (Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Piccadilly Circus, the history, culture, British Museum, Tower of London – and of course our 2nd home during those long work weeks, The Egerton House Hotel ). It’s still a work in progress, so keep checking.
