00:01I'm Lily Douse and this is Grand Voyager.

00:05From my base in Qatar, I travel the world to discover incredible places

00:10filled with culture, luxury and adventure.

00:13Along the way, I meet the people, taste the flavors

00:17and experience the moments that make each destination unforgettable.

00:22Today, I'm travelling from Qatar to one of the world's most iconic cities,

00:31my country of origin.

00:33I'm here in London, a place celebrated for its rich history,

00:37famous landmarks and classic British style.

00:41Hello and welcome to London.

00:43In this episode, I'll explore the charm of England's capital.

00:48From its famous streets and shops to its incredible food

00:52and hidden gems that make the city so special.

00:56Exploring London's famous areas, you can really feel the history around you.

01:02Walking on the cobbled streets of London really does take you back on time.

01:06The city might now be super vibrant, but think back then,

01:10it was a whole different world.

01:13And that mix of old and new is what makes London so special.

01:17It's all part of its charm.

01:20Tucked away in the heart of Covent Garden is Bridget's Bakery.

01:24And it's here, inside this cosy cafe, that I'm meeting Matthew,

01:28one of the bakery's expert tour guides.

01:31Known for its cakes and classic afternoon tea,

01:34Bridget's Bakery has taken this tradition a step further,

01:38turning it into a moving experience.

01:40It's a fun twist on a London classic.

01:43Okay, so Lily, we've got our lovely afternoon tea selection here.

01:46You might see a few of the traditional sort of sandwiches,

01:49as well as our lovely sweet treats on top.

01:52And then later we have our scones too, to which obviously people can have cream, jam.

01:56You can have it as a massive dollop on top, mix it all up.

01:59As long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters.

02:01As the tour gets underway, the bus follows a route packed with some of London's most iconic sights.

02:07The perfect mix of great food and classic city views.

02:11So we're actually passing Trafalgar Square, Nelson's Column,

02:16and at the base you've got those four iconic lion statues.

02:20Also as we're heading down Whitehall, we'll be heading past 10 Downing Street.

02:24Of course that's where the Prime Minister lives.

02:26So we'll be heading into Parliament Square, where of course you've got the House of Parliament,

02:30and you've got the Elizabeth Tower, which contains Big Ben.

02:34Now normally people think the tower itself, with the clock face on the sides,

02:38that that's Big Ben. I'm afraid not.

02:41Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower.

02:46We'll be heading past Buckingham Palace,

02:48that is the most famed royal residence around the world.

02:51And now we have our king there currently?

02:53We have our king there as well.

02:55You can normally tell via the flag on top of Buckingham Palace if he's in residence.

03:00So fingers crossed whenever you turn up,

03:02you might be able to see if he's in residence or not.

03:06Thank you so much, Matthew, for today.

03:08Thank you ever so much for coming. We're glad to have you.

03:10I've had so much fun. Thanks.

03:11Oh, brilliant. Take care.

03:14Next, I'm checking into my hotel for my stay here in the city.

03:18The Londoner is a super boutique hotel tucked just off Leicester Square.

03:23It's the perfect place to call home while exploring the city.

03:26The hotel's penthouse and signature suites are beautifully designed,

03:30featuring generous living areas and breathtaking city views.

03:36Today, I'm unwinding with a relaxing spa session at The Retreat,

03:40the hotel's wellness space.

03:42It features treatments that focus on calming the mind and refreshing the skin.

03:47It's the kind of place where you can switch off completely, even if it's just for a short session.

03:53Next door is Refuel, a superfood and wellness bar, serving nutritious dishes and smoothies.

03:59It's the ideal spot to recharge after a treatment.

04:04But for something a little more indulgent, I'm ending my day at Wickham's,

04:08the hotel's signature restaurant, known for its beautifully styled interior and delicious Mediterranean dishes.

04:15A truly delicious end to my first day in the city.

04:20The next day, I'm exploring London in a true British icon, the Mini.

04:26Behind the wheel is Matt Flynn, a born and bred Londoner who knows every shortcut and story this city has to offer.

04:34The ideal guide for a drive through London's busy streets.

04:39I've toured London's iconic spots in a bus.

04:42Now it's time to visit some of its hidden gems in a classic car.

04:46The first stop on our big adventure is Leek Street Arches,

04:50a graffiti hub located underneath Waterloo train station.

04:53So welcome to the Leek Street Arches.

04:55This is London's only legal graffiti site.

04:59I'm going to encourage you to go and have a walk up and down, take these markers, leave your own graffiti tag.

05:05Basically, all the artwork you see here changes about every two weeks.

05:08An artist will come down, spray something, someone else will come down two weeks later, cover it completely.

05:14So the artwork is constantly changing.

05:16So go and leave your mark, make it significant, see what you can do.

05:20It will be staying forever.

05:23Once a quiet underpass, this tunnel has become one of London's most colourful spots.

05:28Stretching nearly 300 metres, it's completely open to the public.

05:34Artists come here day and night to paint and experiment.

05:38Even world-famous artists like Banksy have left their mark.

05:42And today, I get to leave mine on the city I love.

05:46Back in the mini, we head out into the city again.

05:49London never sits still, and neither do we.

05:53Our next stop takes us south of the river.

05:55We're on our way to one of the city's best loved food markets, Borough Market.

06:01So, welcome to Borough Market.

06:03This is the oldest market in London.

06:05It's been stood here for over a thousand years.

06:07It's now a world-famous farmer's market with food coming from all over the world.

06:12It has to be of the highest possible quality.

06:14Thousands of tourists come from all over the world to sample the food here.

06:18Walking through Borough Market is one of my favourite ways to explore London.

06:23It's lively, colourful and full of things you can't resist trying.

06:28There's everything here from olive oil and cheeses to fruit and vegetables.

06:33It's truly a feast for the senses.

06:37After exploring the market, we're back on the road again, taking in more of the city.

06:42Travelling through this big city in a tiny car really gives you a different view of London.

06:47It's been an epic experience.

06:49But for now, my tour with Matt has come to an end.

06:53Next up on my journey, I'm heading to one of London's most elegant walkways.

06:58A place of beautiful window displays and refined luxury.

07:02Here to tell me more about this historic spot is luxury retail expert, Trupti Shah.

07:08Welcome to Burlington Arcade.

07:10This is a place filled with history.

07:12We are in the heart of Mayfair and there's 206 years of history that we're going to try and go to.

07:18Burlington Arcade stretches nearly 200 metres

07:21and houses around 40 shops.

07:24These vintage stores stock everything from antique jewellery and bespoke fashion

07:29to rare watches and modern British perfumery.

07:33N Peel London has been part of Burlington Arcade for almost 90 years.

07:38Known for its fine cashmere, it's one of the Arcade's longest standing names.

07:44Our next stop takes us into the world of vintage watches.

07:48Burlington Arcade is home to more than 3,000 vintage Rolex timepieces, making it one of the city's most impressive collections.

07:57Across the walkway is another luxury knitwear boutique, full of heritage inspired clothing.

08:03This is a family owned business, very special.

08:06They are 228 years old.

08:09Everything is made in Scotland and they also have a Royal Warrant from His Majesty King Charles.

08:17The Royal Connection is something that runs throughout the Arcade.

08:21And when it comes to designer luggage, this next store fits right in.

08:25Founded in 1897, Globetrotter donates part of its profits to charities supported by the King.

08:32After a fantastic royal infused tour.

08:35I love it!

08:37Full of fragrances and more.

08:39Tripti and I settle down for a coffee in the Arcade's Boutique Café.

08:44The perfect place to end our tour.

08:47As my journey continues, I'm visiting C'est La Vie London, a stylish restaurant high above the city.

08:57This dining spot is known for its bold Asian flavours and views of the capital.

09:04I'm heading into their kitchen for a cooking masterclass with one of their executive chefs.

09:09So what are we making here?

09:11Oh, we make Wagyu Kyoza.

09:14Yeah.

09:15They are definitely my favourite.

09:17Wagyu Kyoza are a gourmet variation of the traditional Japanese dumpling filled with marbled beef.

09:24Ray shows me how to fill and seal the dumplings in the traditional way.

09:29Good idea.

09:30A little bit pinch.

09:32Another pinch.

09:33Another one.

09:35Now it's my turn to give it a go.

09:38So, I'll pick up one of these very delicate little sheets.

09:42Is that one?

09:43Okay.

09:44I put it in my hand.

09:45Wrapping around the sides.

09:48And now it's all about the folding.

09:51Folding dumplings looks easy, but there's a real technique to getting it just right.

09:57With my quick training complete, it's time to try some flavours for myself.

10:01There you go.

10:02Enjoy a good selection of dishes that we have from C'est La Vie London.

10:06Delicious.

10:07And this looks extremely diverse for London.

10:09People kind of come to London.

10:11They're expecting that quintessentially British, but actually now this is British cuisine.

10:16This is British.

10:17Yes.

10:18From our side, we've had a huge history of using spice across our cuisine for a number of

10:22years.

10:23And also, one of the things we have looked at is to use as much British produce as we can

10:27see that accent of Asian influence as well, which really from our side, really say look

10:32where C'est La Vie comes from.

10:33The food here is exceptional.

10:35Beautifully presented and full of flavour.

10:38You can taste the mix of British and Asian ingredients.

10:41A style that perfectly reflects the city's diversity.

10:45After an incredible experience, it's time to see the city from a different perspective.

10:55I'm grabbing an iconic black cab to my final destination.

10:59There are so many different modes of transport in London.

11:02I can't decide which one's my favourite, but the next one is definitely a little surprise.

11:08Trapti from the Burlington Arcade has invited me to take a flight over the city.

11:14The London Heliport is owned by the Rubin Brothers, who also own the Arcade.

11:19Today, we're flying high above London.

11:22A once in a lifetime experience, shared with a new friend.

11:26And we can't help but take a few snaps to savour the moment.

11:31London looks absolutely breathtaking from up here.

11:34Its famous landmarks and the Thames River stretch out endlessly.

11:39A view that reminds you just how big this city really is.

11:43From whizzing around the city in a Mini Cooper to exploring the sights of London from the skies.

11:50I can honestly say this trip has been unforgettable.

11:53I can't wait for the next adventure.

11:55I can't wait for the next adventure.

11:56I can't wait for the next adventure.
