The Orient-Express conjures up images of a more glamorous age - and of a more stylish approach to travelling. On this experience you'll find out just why the train has such a fabulous reputation, and revel in luxury and nostalgia as you slip through the British countryside while enjoying a delicious meal. You can choose from lunch or dinner on board the Northern Belle from cities outside London and lunch on the British Pullman from London Victoria. The Northern Belle is inspired by the Belle trains of the 1930s, and each carriage has its own unique character. The British Pullman's carriages date from the 1920s and 1930s, all lovingly restored. Your meal will be freshly prepared and served with champagne and wine, and while the exact itinerary will vary according to your choice of train and location, we know that you'll fall in love with the romance of these beautiful trains.

Are you someone who can't walk past a jewellers without stopping to admire the gorgeous pieces displayed in the window? Emeralds, rubies, sapphires... and top of the list, a girl's best friend - the sparkle and shine of a diamond. But have you ever wondered what goes into creating such beautiful pieces? With this experience you'll get the opportunity to watch master craftsmen in their working environment and learn about the clarity and colour of different stones. With your new-found knowledge, you'll each choose your own 0.12ct diamond and a 9ct yellow or white gold band to create your own diamond ring. You'll take part in the whole journey, from bending and soldering to filing and buffing. There'll even be the chance to have your rings engraved before the diamonds are set and they receive a final finish. Your finished rings will have an approximate financial value of £250, but these unique pieces are, of course, priceless! Breakfast, lunch, soft drinks and all materials are included.
Step out together on a glitzy night out in the West End. Enjoy a delicious dinner and then settle into your top-price seats to see a great show. Start with a two-course pre-theatre meal from the table d'hote menu at one of a selection of restaurants. Each offer fine European cuisine, and they're located in Covent Garden, Soho or Holborn - all within easy walking distance of theatreland. Then get the show on the road with top price tickets to see one of a selection of West End shows from our range. There's something to suit every taste so choose from the star-studded, jazz-vibed Chicago; the Queen rock spectacular We Will Rock You; the moving social commentary of Willy Russell's Blood Brothers, The Woman in Black or even the Sound of Music (which is closing in February 2009)

London's West End is the best place to see a musical or a quality play, but if you don't happen to live close by then getting to and from the shows can be a chore. Make the whole thing hassle-free and leave yourself time to relax and enjoy the show (and a bit of shopping). You'll get two top-price tickets to the West End show of your choice. You'll be in the best seats available on the night in either the stalls or the dress circle, giving a fantastic view of the action. You will stay in the superb five star Royal Garden Hotel situated in the heart of Kensington, overlooking beautiful gardens. Enjoy a courtesy cocktail each in the Park Terrace bar. Also included in your package is a two-course dinner in the hotel Park Terrace Restaurant, with a bottle of wine to share. All rooms are en-suite and offer a choice of twin or double bedded rooms. A full English breakfast the following morning makes a perfect conclusion to your experience.
