Savoy there!

Now this is something that really can't be missed: the Savoy is about to have a huge facelift, and before shutting for 18 months it's holding an auction to flog some of the current interior. They're putting nearly 3000 little bits of swanky London history under the hammer - from beds to ashtrays to hatstands - between the 18th and 20th December. Never has there been a better excuse for taking a day off work. Viewings are on 16th and 17th December, and to get into that you need to buy a catalogue (£33). Call 020 7468 8200, or do everything you need to do online at Bonhams.
