Bargain Britain: Luxe Life is Easy with #Historically Low Exchange
Lots in the news about the #British #pound hitting historic lows amid a new, controversial mini-budget introduced last week by the UK Government. While the pound has crept back up slightly, according to Bloomberg, experts say Britain is having an existential crisis with inflation and a stagnant economy weighing the currency down, and some bankers are even betting for parity with the dollar by the end of the year. What is bad news for Britons, is great news for foreign travelers! London correspondent Emily shares exciting happenings for those considering a trip across the pond: NOW is the time to garner great values!
Shopping: Prices have not changed to reflect the new exchange, so pick up luxury goods or shop some unique London brands. One I’m loving—now that the world is transitioning back to the office—is #CoventGarden-based women’s workwear Dai, a certified B-corp which means it is a totally green company, that uses performance four-way stretch, machine washable, wrinkle-resistant fabrics, to create beautiful and unbelievably comfortable pieces. 
#Theater: See theater at a #fraction of #Broad#way #prices, London theater has always been a #deal versus #NewYork, but now it is an #absolute #steal. See my favorites—”Six”, or the “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, or catch Helen Hunt in “Eureka Day”, and of course, there’s “Shakespeare at the Globe”. 
Luxury Train Ride: Something I love that normally comes with a steep price, the iconic #BelmondBritishPullman for a rolling journey in a beautifully restored train through the British countryside, is now #more #affordable than ever. 
#Wellness: A new Spa at Claridge’s opened recently! They dug down through five stories of English soil to make room for this new 7,000-square-foot haven of #wellness and #tranquillity featuring the hotel’s first-ever #swimming #pool, #steamrooms, #sauna, and seven #treatment rooms. Designed by interior architect Andre Fu who has drawn inspiration from the East with touches of the iconic timeless glamour synonymous with the hotel — think: lots of light oak combined with black Crittal screens. Claridge’s Spa offers both a best-in-class list of resident brands including Josh Wood, Augustinus Bader and FaceGym, and an ever-evolving roster of visiting wellness masters, featuring #nail artist Harriet Westmoreland and #acupuncturist Ross J. Barr, ensuring guests are expertly treated, head to toe.
#Eat: Have sweet tooth! You must go to the amazing new patisserie #SHIOK! By Cherish Finden (star of “Bake Off: The Professionals”) at the chic new Pan Pacific London. Cherish is a total star who even made the 90th birthday cake for the Queen, she tells us the most popular thing to order is the apple tin, but maybe that is because the chocolate pastry that looks like a mini teapot is too adorable! London is renowned for #IndianCuisine, try the new six-course tasting menu at award-winning Colonel Saab. Notting Hill residents are excited about the opening of Akub, a modern Palestinian restaurant, whose chef Fadi Kattan already has a popular restaurant in Bethlehem, this is his first London outpost.
