Christmas shopping on Sloane Street
Get five-star service Christmas shopping in Sloane Street this December


Sloane Street, one of the world's most luxurious shopping avenues, is taking Christmas shopping to the next level this season with a five star personalised service. From December 11 to 14, the London SW1 street will be flanked by traditionally dressed, multi-lingual butlers who will be on hand to carry bags, open doors and offer information.
In conjunction, The Dorchester and 45 Park Lane hotels are offering a five-star experience, with guests chauffeured to and from Sloane Street in a Rolls-Royce Phantom and then assisted by Sloane Street's personal shopper in residence, Angela Dunn.
Afternoon tea and a relaxing foot massage finish the day. To book, telephone 020-7493 4545 or visit www.sloanestreet.co.uk.

Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
