1. Sir John Soane's Museum


Pampering products made by monks. Located in the glorious back chambers of the cathedral in Florence, you can buy body oils and candles while walking beside frescos.
3. Daunt Books, Marylebone High Street
Most fabulous way to while away a day: in the travel section of this arts and crafts interior complete with original wooden panelling.
4. The Cob Gallery, Camden
My favourite place to find art. No matter your budget - they can find you brilliant artists to invest in.
5. Bal Samand Hotel in Jodhpur
Visiting this hotel is a mind altering experience. You can stay in original palace rooms, wake up to peacocks and monkeys, and travel in to the beautiful blue city.
