WHERE TO EAT AND SIP
I recently discovered Neo Bistro in Mayfair, just behind Bonhams, where we held the world premiere of the new Phantom. I love their modern British approach. I also enjoy taking patrons to Bar 45 at 45 Park Lane; they serve a great Rolls-Royce Wraith–inspired cocktail.
WHERE TO SEE ART IN LONDON
I try to visit the V&A as often as possible; the exhibitions there are fabulous. The Tate Modern is also a rich source of inspiration for me. It is essential, not just for me but also for our artisans, to explore the abundance of art and design that London has to offer.
WHERE TO HAVE FUN AND RELAX
I love nothing more than driving around London in a Rolls-Royce, absorbing the diverse architecture and multinational influences on this great city. Then there is Savile Row; the bespoke tailoring that can be found here is world class. And of course the Royal Academy of Arts.
