There is no better place on earth.

Your favourite bar or nightclub:
THE COBURG BAR @ The Connaught Hotel in Mayfair Carlos Place, London, +44 20 74997070.
I am not so into nightclubs, because I love to be able to talk to my friends. A good drink at a bar is much better. A destination for genuine bar aficionados.
Your favourite sightseeing spot: THE RIVER RESTAURANT @ The Savoy Hotel Strand, London, +44 20 7836 4343
From there you have a fantastic view of the river themse, the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament.
Your favourite park: ST. JAMES PARK
The scent of London: WOOD and LEATHER.
I actually did a scent once inspired by the city of London. It is a male city, not like Paris which is female. The gentlemen’s clubs rule the city. The architecture is clean and straight. So you see dark woods and lots of leather.
Thank you, Roja, for sharing your insider scoop on London with us!
