If I could magically transport myself to London this week for one hour of holiday revelry (admittedly, a big if), I think I’d spend it at Somerset House. A beautiful ice rink with festive Christmas tree (“Skate” sponsored by Tiffany), my two favorite London restaurants (Tom’s Kitchen and Fernandez & Wells**), a Rizzoli bookshop for perusing and last-minute shopping, and a Tiffany outpost for treats + trinkets.
