Avery Row/Lancashire Court, Mayfair, W1
If you blink, you might just miss the entrance to Avery Row when you're
walking down Brook Street but it's worth keeping your eyes peeled; this little
oasis of calm is a welcome break from the frenetic pace of its nearby relations,
Bond Street and Oxford Street. Here you can visit a historic museum, have a
leisurely pub lunch, treat yourself to a relaxing facial and even shop for sale
bargains without so much as bumping into a single tourist.
