    I think it might have been because you were with suity, never heard of them refusing people because of shoes, plenty of meeja types go there.

    I've got a few days off with the Mrs. We've done the usual touristy things so I'm interested in stuff you wouldn't find on the usual tourist route.

    Cheers
    Don't forget to buy her a souvenir of the trip....

    I've heard Richmond Park is one to visit, it's on the list. Thanks

    I would recommend afternoon tea at one of the more prestigious hotels like the Dorchester or the Ritz type thing. Cost you an arm and a leg but the ladies tend to enjoy it.

    Have you booked a hotel yet? I would also recommend finding a boutique type hotel rather than the standard faire. Can often be on par price wise and if you get a good one it can add a bit of panache to your weekend.

    Take her up the O2 if she doesn't like the idea of being taken up the OXO. Couple friends did it the other week and seemed to enjoy it. Something a bit different I guess.

    Either of you drink Gin? Could do a Gin Tour. No idea how touristy it is but sounds a bit different.
