Rudi, e-mail me with your flight details and I will get BA to roll-out the "Blue Carpet" for you.

If you are in Euro-Traveller, the very least I can do for you is ask them to upgrade you and your good wife to Club Europe.

I'm affraid QPR are a bit of a spent force, but I hope you enjoy the footy. Personally I would do the pub-crawl (is that classed as a business trip for you?).

Soho is great now! Fantastic pubs as always and very cosmopolitan.

For hotels I recommend, Blake's (very trendy media types); Churchill's (very un-trendy cigar smoking, expense account types); Le Meridian Picadilly (forget the French it is full of Russians swigging bottles of lager now - and that is just the women).

Cheaper but good fun... I like the Cumberland, good location, great Cantonese restaurant, a bit like a Youth Hostel though; The Waldorf, classic style (now out-dated) loads of great silver-wear you can pinch [sorry, take as a souvenier], order room-service every day and take a full dinner-service home with you), they don't count the robes!
