Days of indulgence

This traditional Mayfair barber has been pampering men since 1875, which must mean they know what they're doing. Pick up aftershave balms, razors and shaving brushes, or settle in for a manicure, facial or traditional wet shave.

Afternoon tea isn't just for girls, and the Mandeville Hotel's kitchen is out to prove it. Their manly selection of post-lunch lull snacks includes steak & shallot sandwiches and whiskey tea.

There's no other way to round off a day of indulgence than with some of the best steak money can buy. You'll find it at Hawksmoor Spitalfields, alongside other intensely meaty and manly options. The top-quality cuts are from the renowned London butcher Ginger Pig.

For the height of luxury, head to the heights of The Berkeley Spa's open-top swimming pool, which overlooks Hyde Park. When you've had your fill of floating and celebrity spotting, head inside for a luxurious treatment.

Dress like the Duchess of Cambridge with trousers from Trilogy on High Street Kensington. Staff will help you find the jeans of your dreams, with a personal styling suite and one-hour alteration service. Your thighs will thank you.

Gentrification has sunk its claws into this once-scruffy boozer, which makes it the perfect place to show off your new jeans, sip on a delicious cocktail created by a friendly bartender, and watch the lively crowd of Notting Hillbillies at play.
