Best places to go: London

“If you visit Sumner Street in London then you will see a man standing on an 8ft plinth in a black suit and holding a paint brush. The cameras that are embedded within his torso allow him to mirror your hand and arm moments and will keep you amused for hours. As London’s only moving statue, it is a must see on your visit. The first time I saw this statue it was great, I had no idea how he was doing it,” Ben says.

“Located in Piccadilly, The Ritz has fresh cut sandwiches with a range of fillings, including the best ones: Smoked Salmon, cheddar cheese and egg mayonnaise, my favourite. Afternoon tea cakes, pastries and apple and raison scones all served on three tier stand for you to enjoy. My mum and I visit here when she is down to stay with me. It’s a lovely place to go for the whole family on a special occasion too,” says Ben. The dress code is smart and no jeans are permitted, and a jacket must be worn by all men.

“The bar is located in Soho. It is the oldest jazz club in the world and was first opened in 1959. It has seen some legendary jazz names walk through its doors, and says there are more to come – the main reason I keep going back, I am determined to catch a glimpse of someone there. It officially re-opened after refurbishment in June 2006. It is open seven days a week, so there is no excuse not to book tickets to one of the many incredible gigs available for you to see, believe me. My friends and I love it there and regularly spend our nights just listening to the great music on offer for you to hear,” he says.
