Two nights in London April 2007

Guys--
Thankfully, everything worked out with british airways to spend a little time in london on my way back to the USA in April.

I'll be staying at a hotel on picadilly april 12-14, and need some suggestions on how to spend my time. Bear in mind I will likely be traveling with one pair of jeans, possibly a navy blazer, and one dress shirt (of course, i will buy a thing or two there but nothing major like a suit)

thanks!

Jermyn St, Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly Arcade, SR, Fortnum and Mason etc. Lots to look out for in terms of shoes, leather goods, shirts, coats.

Tate Modern is a must see. Furthermore I'd try to visit as much pubs as possible.

ok, so what about bars, restaurants, shops?

Looks like i am located close to savile row and jermyn street-- so other than strolling those two streets, what are some other suggestions?

Fortnum and Mason is definitely on my list, and cigars at harrods for the hotel smoking lounge.

Sautter's of Mayfair is a better cigar shop. Nicer neighborhood too...

Harvey Nichols on Sloane Street has a wonderful selection of dress wear as well as street wear. I highly recommend a half a day in there, at least.

Browns has some interesting streetwear as well.
