As you descend the elegant staircase to the Thames Foyer of the Savoy you can’t help but notice an aura of restrained elegance and grandeur. Light floods in from the great glass cupola above you, and music played by the resident pianist drifts across the room. The tranquil ambience is complemented by the discreet but attentive service and guests may linger in the deep sofas and armchairs, or at their table, for as long as they like. The set tea of delicate finger sandwiches, plain and fruit scones served with clotted cream and strawberry preserve, bite-size French pastries, and a

Do not expect to spend a quiet day exploring the stacks in London’s libraries. The libraries are jammed and the wait to get a book can stretch into hours. Windsor Castle, an excursion out of London, is awesome in dimension. The public school of Eton is nearby, best known of all private schools. The place is suitably medieval and the boys appear in costume. The number two attraction in Britain? You guessed it, Stratford Upon Avon, Shakespeare’s home. As the name implies, the village sits upon the little Avon River, northwest of Oxford. Don’t overlook Ann Hathaway’s cottage and the

London is for shoppers. Harrods receives the imprimatur of the Queen and of the well-heeled visitor. It stocks everything from prams (baby buggies) to potted partridge. Compared to the large American shopping malls, Harrods seems small scale. Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly is another name store, specializing in fine groceries. Saville Row gets the nod for gentlemen’s bespoken tailors (who do the made-to-order kind). The best buys in Britain, or so the British testify, are found in Marks and Spencer, the clothing store chain found in most British cities. Two are in Oxford Street, London. Christies and Sotheby’s are well-known

Pub crawling can be undertaken by the accomplished American drinker. Some seven thousand pubs (public houses) await the intrepid. Many are loaded with history, some with Dickensian characters. Some offer the ploughman’s lunch, usually consisting of bread and butter, moist cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickled onion or chutney. Some offer cold meat pies. Anglophiles on a budget swear by them. The London residents become affixed and affiliated with a favorite pub and seldom venture abroad. It has been said that if home is the Englishman’s castle, the pub is his Vatican. The pub often sports an outgoing lady of ample

B & B, the bed and breakfast experience, is available in London homes where middle-aged ladies, sometimes helped by retired husbands, provide a room with a bath down the hall, or up a flight, or elsewhere. The breakfasts are almost uniformly good. In fact, they are much better than some of the continental breakfasts that come with the room at some of the pricey hotels. These hotel breakfasts, set up the evening before, may include a croissant. Come morning it is in a state of mortification. The B & B’s are often much more interesting places to stay than the

FIGURE 4.4 The Tower of London Several of London’s leading hotels have been social centers for more than seventy years: the Connaught, the Savoy, Claridges’s, the Dorchester, the Ritz, and Grosvenour House. The newer class hotels, the Intercontinental, the Inn on the Park, the Hilton, the Berkeley, Carlton Tower, are all highly priced to be used by the right people. The hotel staff can be a European melange: French chefs, Spanish chambermaids, West Indian dishwashers, and Americans sitting in the bars paying prices the English think outrageous (and are). The British do many things with style. Where else will the

London is known for its parks, most of them a legacy from the royalty and the nobility. What are now Hyde Park, Regents Park, and Kensington Gardens were once owned by the Dukes of Devonshire, Bedford and Westminster. Westminster is still a large London landlord. Hunting grounds and open spaces around noble grounds now make for the best and most extensive parks in the world. History abounds. Marble Arch stands on one side of Hyde Park, where once stood a gallows. The nobility always got the best. If a lord was to be hung, he was entitled to a silken
