🍸 Hidden in the heart of @stjameslondon, DUKES London is one of London’s most iconic cocktail spots. Famous for its world-class martinis and timeless style, it’s long been linked with Ian Fleming and the world of James Bond - and often said to be the inspiration behind the legendary “shaken, not stirred.” Expect martinis served with theatre and precision: frozen glasses, ultra-chilled spirits, and no ice - just pure, classic perfection. And even while DUKES Hotel undergoes refurbishment, the bar remains open for its signature martini experience all summer 2026. Would you have one here? 🍸 📍DUKES Bar #LondonMakesItPossible #VisitLondon

A breathtaking Royal Air Force flypast provides a spectacular finale to this year’s Trooping the Colour celebrations🇬🇧👑 Trooping the Colour marks The King’s official birthday with a magnificent display of military tradition and pageantry. Hundreds of officers, horses and musicians from the Household Division take part in the ceremony, dressed in full ceremonial uniform. The parade travels from Buckingham Palace along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, where The King inspects the troops before leading the guards back to the palace. Upon arrival, The King takes the salute as gun salutes are fired in Green Park and at the Tower of London. The celebrations conclude with members of the Royal Family appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the impressive flypast overhead. 🎥 The Royal Family #LondonMakesItPossible #VisitLondon #TroopingTheColour #TheRoyalFamily

A true taste of history in the heart of East London 🥖✨   @Rinkoffbakery has been serving the community since 1911, making it one of the city’s oldest bakeries still going strong today.   Built on family recipes passed down from Eastern Europe to East London, three generations of Rinkoffs have kept the tradition alive - baking fresh breads, cakes, and pastries that have stood the test of time. Over a century later, it’s still all about family, heritage, and seriously good baking 🥐💛   📍Rinkoffs Bakery #LondonMakesItPossible #VisitLondon
