What to do and see in Victoria, England: The Best Shopping

February 3, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Les Senteurs

Since 1984 Les Senteurs has been a haven of fragrance tranquillity, away from the bustling crowds and fast pace of the department store. London’s oldest independent perfumery has become a destination for those in the know, looking for their dream fragrance, or a delightful discovery for the unaware passerby. Here visitors can browse, smell and explore in their own time and with the support of our welcoming and knowledgeable team. As journalist and Co-Founder of The Perfume Society, Jo Fairley once said, we are champions of the ‘slow-scent movement’. Finding ‘the one’ should never be rushed. Les Senteurs is the place to fall in love with perfume, if you haven’t already, as each visitor is taken on a personal journey of discovery to find their perfect scent.

The Queen's Gallery

The Queen's Gallery hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection.

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

The Royal Collection has an amazing collection of art from over the centuries, despite the Civil War in the 17th century when Charles I lost his head and much of the collection was then sold off. The Queen's Galleries in London and Edinburgh create excellent themed exhibitions around different aspects of the collection, the last being on Leonardo di Vinci's amazing intricate drawings which has now moved from London to Edinburgh. The 19th century kings before Queen Victoria were a funny lot, living in their own world King George IV has a mixed reputation. With a variety of mistresses, several illegitimate children and huge debts, he was also a collector and patron of the arts and of architecture, enhancing the Royal art collection by buying works by a variety of artists including Rubens, Rembrandt and the Scottish artist David Wilkie, along with major remodelling of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and creation of the unique Pavilion in Brighton. The exhibition at the Queen's Gallery tells the story of George IV - his life, his interests, his art collection and his architectural achievements. There is more however - he was instrumental in the foundation of one of our great universities, King's College London.
