British MuseumBritish Museum

In November, COSMO Sheenah left london. A single trip on not only the British Museum, The London Eye, the Windsor Castle can not go to the attractions, more antique market, luxury department stores and custom waiting for us to find that London's fashion. If you have understood little of our London in Sheenah's micro-blog, the following are whole complimentary time.

In order to experience Beijing to Dubai Airbus A380 flight, we deliberately bypass transfer from Dubai to london. Just arrived in the evening, but the November London gets dark early, at five o'clock already, the remaining daylight came in very low in Ziyun, I tried to see the city. George's residence, stout and wet tall maple, well-dressed long-legged gentleman through the fallen leaves. It's is not imagine london! There seems to be a kind of was through feeling, especially the first night in the next 1400 years of museum.

For this trip, I most basic plan is everyday go shopping attractions and pitched, very clever! This can not only see the classic ancient London, and don't miss the most fashionable things. The first day like to travel London, my schedule is the British Museum + Notting Hill antique market. Notting Hill antiques market Portobello Market Notting Hill is the London I feel the best place, because of the movie "Notting Hill" (Hodson is so handsome), I'm sure can find blue door in Hodson's apartment here. Portobello Market in Notting Hill only the weekend before the open, is the world famous antiques market, has a history of such as London Millennium City, can a few decent antique should be easier with cheap price Amoy! Many came to visit the market one day, walking with great care.

Mart door handle, gifts, leather, bags, jewelry, and even the cup and silver products are more to do, and come this shopping people also mostly dress. Reportedly, many designers and fashion college students will be here in search of inspiration and taobao. The middle through the 5 junctions market part like the farmers market, there are a lot of people lined up in the cauldron of the Spanish Seafood Risotto, vendors in four as heavy truck tire size pans to run to run between, scene quite lively. And through the farmer have a designer shops I personally think that the most worth around.

Like a museum as a century-old Harrods

In London, a detour is also going to see the Harrods legends of high grade malls. Early know here, because it's the boss's Diana's dad, and when I was in the mall at the entrance gate 3, see Diana and Mohamed fly side by side of statue, the heart is really over a moved. The 160 years history of 7 stores with marble floors, brass package dado, tall palms, like the as the heyday of the Egyptian engraved here. In each layer can see Sphinx, I like most is a layer of cosmetics the hands holding the candlestick statue, expression is very vivid and lovely. But the underground food hall let my eyes bright, especially sell seafood and carnivorous kind food department, no taste aside, crystal lamp printing ceramic tiles, tall, reverie to wear the Vitoria period dress to come here to buy vegetables to taste.

Young and energetic, but also a hundred years of Selfridges

Unlike Harrods's top luxury, located next to the London College of fashion, 101 year old Selfridges look younger. The best thing is to find a lot of designer's exclusive brand, such as Victoria dVb, men's clothing, women's clothing department also have their own collection. While the product division is focused, such as all the shoes were divided between the two layers of the shoes Gallery, from TOPSHOP to YSL, the brand of the great span, there is the world's largest women's shoe department. I like shopping on feeling, breathe sweep into 10 pairs of shoes. Because there are often prince or middle east rich "to" London, so not just in Harrods, Selfridges personal custom shopping is also quite severe, filming my calm makeup was placed in the personal shopping center, sit down and listen to personal guide for me to introduce each big brand Selfridges production limited and this season the new. Independent of the Champagne Lounge in a shopping mall, can spend a fixed price of a few choose here to taste, and just recently I quite interested in wine, so naturally will not miss this opportunity. Near noon, stroll tired we can sit down to eat lunch at the mall two floor restaurant, this is a very delicate dining-room, the table is small, but all put flowers. Each table is full, if not ahead of a scheduled, it is hard to find a seat here.

Sheenah summarized the tax refund:

Buy enough how many drawback: in London, different each merchants refund amount starting point, generally buy enough 30 pounds can, such as the Portobello Market market is not a tax rebate. And each brand of drawback boutique begins at higher. For example, Versace requires consumption to 100 pounds will give tax rebates. Where is open to tax rebates: shopping checkout finished can to store the specified counter tax refund, usually stores all tax refund counter in customer service. Need to show your passport, passport and according to complete information, passport number, address, name, etc..

To the airport to find Customs: holding passports, tax rebates and a small shopping votes in the airport tax refund counter stamped, with us at the Heathrow Airport as an example, jewelry, watches, electrical appliances and other goods to the customs before can seal drawback, and type of clothing as long as the check in before they can be sealed, can be directly get the refund at the Customs after the cash. Tax refund cash and to play the card which more appropriate: tax rebates are usually cash back and return the card two ways, simple said that back cash benefit is then can get the money, but the amount to less than the return on the card. But only for MasterCard and Visa card refund service, often take several weeks to arrive. For example: if the consumption of 180 euros, your refund should be calculated from the total value added tax (VAT) minus fee, generally equivalent to the total amount of about 12% shopping. Please note, received back to deduct part of the fees payable. If not at the airport tax refund success: Britain within the Globe Blub global drawback FIBA, can go home with their contact.
