With your first course in one top London restaurant, your main in another and dessert in a third, London's most original gastronomic road trip is always a sell out. Last year we revealed intriguing new itineraries, both walking and aboard our fleet of Routemaster buses, in Soho and Clerkenwell. After a reception with our official champagne, Laurent-Perrier, at The Savoy or The Arch Bar at InterContinental London Park Lane, guests ate at three of London's most exciting restaurants.
