00:00I'm Lily Dauss and this is Grand Voyager.
00:04From my base in Qatar, I travel the world to discover incredible places filled with culture, luxury and adventure.
00:13Along the way I meet the people, taste the flavours and experience the moments that make each destination unforgettable.
00:22Today, I'm travelling from Qatar to one of the world's most iconic cities, my country of origin.
00:33I'm here in London, a place celebrated for its rich history, famous landmarks and classic British style.
00:41Hello and welcome to London. In this episode, I'll explore the charm of England's capital.
00:48From its famous streets and shops to its incredible food and 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, it was a whole different world.
01:12And 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, one of the bakery's expert tour guides.
01:31Known for its cakes and classic afternoon tea, Bridget's Bakery has taken this tradition a step further, turning it into a moving experience.
01:40It's a fun twist on a London classic.
01:43OK, so Lily, we've got our lovely afternoon tea selection here.
01:46You might see a few of the traditional sort of sandwiches, as well as our lovely sweet treats on top.
01:51And 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, as 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, and 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, that that's Big Ben.
02:39I'm afraid not. Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower.
02:44We'll be heading past Buckingham Palace, that 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 you 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.
03:13Next, 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, featuring generous living areas and breathtaking city views.
03:35Today, I'm unwinding with a relaxing spa session at The Retreat, the 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.
04:00It'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, the 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.
04:38I've toured London's iconic spots in a bus. Now 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, a graffiti hub located underneath Waterloo train station.
04:53So welcome to the Leek Street Arches. This 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. An artist will come down, spray something.
05:10Someone else will come down two weeks later, cover it completely. So the artwork is constantly changing.
05:15So go and leave your mark. Make it significant, see what you can do.
05:19It will be staying forever.
05:22Once a quiet underpass, this tunnel has become one of London's most colourful spots.
05:29Stretching 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.
05:50London 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. This 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.
06:36After 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. This is a place filled with history.
07:11We 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 and 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.
07:43Our next stop takes us into the world of vintage watches.
07:47Burlington Arcade is home to more than 3,000 vintage Rolex timepieces,
07:52making it one of the city's most impressive collections.
07:56Across 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. Everything is made in Scotland.
08:11And 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.
08:26Founded in 1897, Globetrotter donates part of its profits to charities supported by the king.
08:33After a fantastic royal infused tour.
08:36I love it!
08:37Full of fragrances and more.
08:40Tripti and I settle down for a coffee in the Arcade's Boutique Café.
08:44The perfect place to end our tour.
08:50As my journey continues, I'm visiting C'est La Vie London, a stylish restaurant high above the city.
08:56This dining spot is known for its bold Asian flavors and views of the capital.
09:03I'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 Gyoza.
09:14Yeah.
09:15They are definitely my favorite.
09:17Wagyu Gyoza 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.
09:34Another one.
09:36Now it's my turn to give it a go.
09:39So, I'll pick up one of these very delicate little sheets.
09:43Is that one?
09:44OK.
09:45I put it in my hand.
09:46Wrapping around the sides.
09:48And now it's all about the folding.
09:50Folding dumplings looks easy, but there's a real technique to getting it just right.
09:56With my quick training complete, it's time to try some flavors 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, they're expecting that quintessentially British.
10:13But actually now, this is British cuisine.
10:16This is British, yes.
10:17From our side, we've had a huge history of using spice across our cuisine for a number of years.
10:22And also, one of the things we have looked at is to use as much British produce as we can with that accent of Asian influence as well.
10:29Which really, from our side, really is where C'est La Vie comes from.
10:32The food here is exceptional, beautifully presented and full of flavor.
10:37You can taste the mix of British and Asian ingredients.
10:41A style that perfectly reflects the city's diversity.
10:47After 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, I can't decide which one's my favorite.
11:04But the next one is definitely a little surprise.
11:09Trapti from the Burlington Arcade has invited me to take a flight over the city.
11:14The London heliport is owned by the Reuben 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.
11:49I can honestly say this trip has been unforgettable.
11:53I can't wait for the next adventure.
11:55For the next adventure.
11:56For the next adventure.
11:57For the next adventure.
11:58For the next adventure.
11:59For the next adventure.
12:00For the next adventure.
12:01For the next adventure.
12:02For the next adventure.
12:03For the next adventure.
12:04For the next adventure.
12:05For the next adventure.
12:06For the next adventure.
12:07For the next adventure.
