As Joan describes: "London, England is expensive � that's a given. But if you want to see this grand English city you put up with it." After all there are many free British landmarks to visit and see throughout London. But you can also experience how the other half travels without breaking the bank by visiting luxury hotels like the Claridge for afternoon tea or a glass of wine.

"This venerable institution is a must-see during a visit to London," says Joan. Located in tony Mayfair, Claridge's got its start in 1812" when James Mivart opened a hotel that served clients who want to stay in the British capital for longer periods. William and Marianne Claridge, who renamed it after themselves, subsequently purchased it in 1854. Kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, emperors and empresses, czars and czarinas have been among the royalty who found the luxurious surroundings catered perfectly to their whims and fancies.

"I acted like a royal during my visit to Claridge's," writes Joan. "I enjoyed my libation in the Macanudo Fumoir, the hotel's sleek smoking bar, subtly ogling my drinking compatriots."
