Yup, it's a prestigious Hilton. Good restaurants, pool, health club, top floor bar with panoramic views etc.

Welcome Shepherd!

Those Knives do look Nice.

In my experience you can get as much or as little as you want out of London.
It just depends on what floats your boat.

It is best to do your homework before you arrive, so you are on the right track.

Greetings Sean, some excellent knives there.

Hi Sean, welcome to British Blades :biggthump

Knives for sale go in the Makers Sales section (basically anything new and with a price on it) but otherwise feel free to post pictures anywhere and talk about knives as much as you like. The Commons is as good a place as any to show us what you make and how you do it. We like knives here, we are not anti-sales or anti-promotion. We tend not to get spammed so we are a pretty relaxed bunch :)

Hello and welcome :)

Always good to see some new work.

I personally think that the museums and galleries are the best thing about london.

[Sajuma]

Welcome to this funny farm, have fun!

Welcome to the forum:biggthump
Beautiful knives:)
I'm sure you've heard of the usual London sites/theatres/etc, but as you're into knives you might like the Japanese blades exhibition at the British Museum :
http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/cuttingedge/
Also, there is an exhibition of arms and armour in the White Tower at the Tower of London and your wife would probably like the crown jewels.
Hope this is of some help.

Regards
Duncan

Thank you gentlemen for the warm greetings. This appears to be one of the most civil forums I belong to. I hope I have something to contribute.
