As a Londoner I'm lucky to have access to several outstanding local destinations for Father's Day shopping, dining and culture. A favourite is the area bounded by Piccadilly and St James's with its finest menswear shops, luxury hotels and restaurants and cultural destinations such as The Royal Academy of Arts.
I was recently invited to see what St James's style had to offer for Father's Day. Here are a few ideas, either as gifts for others or to allow you to indulge yourself:
Fortnum & Mason – Luxury department store. On the third floor of Fortnum & Mason Piccadilly, join their Master Barber for a haircut, hot towel head massage or wet shave. Complimentary drinks will also be available from their drink’s cabinet.
