The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hyde Park is the most beautiful hotel that I've ever stepped foot in.
sexy "LOCALS" DEPARTMENT STORE - HARVEY NICHOLS
Harvey Nichols, founded in 1813, is an upmarket department store chain. It's flagship store, pictured hers, is in Knightsbridge, but has expanded to other cities in England and as far as Dublin and Saudi Arabia. It offers many of the worlds most prestigious brands in womanswear, menswear, accessories, beauty, food, and home. In addition to its fashion retailing business, Harvey Nichols redeveloped the top floor to create a restaurant bar, cafe, wine shop, and food market. It attracts younger shoppers than it's rival Harrods but tends be be more expensive.
I'd recommend fashion shopping & dining at Harvey Nichols & food shopping at Harrods.

sexy ARCHITECTURE - GHERKIN BUILDING
30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin) is a skyscraper in London's main financial district, the City of London. It is widely known by the name "The Gherkin" and occasionally as a varient on The Swiss Re Tower, after its previous owner and principal occupier. It is 180 meters (591 ft) tall, making it the second tallest building in the City of London, after Tower 42, and the sixth tallest in London as a whole.
The building's name is its address - St Mary Axe being the street it is on.
The building was designed by Prizker Prize-winner LORD FOSTER and ex partner KEN SHUTTLEWORTH and Arup engineers, and was constructed by Skanska of Sweden between 2001 and 2004. However, despite Foster taking complete credit for the design, industry insiders advise that Shuttleworth, who later founded his own design studio, MAKE, was the primary source of the radical and innovative design of the structure.
