  3. Mountains - 15 minutes

  5. Harvey Nicks - 1.30 to airport, 2 hours in departures, 27 hours flight, 2 hour changeover in Dubai or Singapore plus however long to takes to get out of LHR and to Knightsbridge, maybe 1hr30 so make it 34 hours
somewhereovertherain · 18/12/2017 08:09

Beach about 2 mins from the sea but 30 from a decent beach
Airport about 2 mins from a runway but about 2 hours from an airport you can fly as a passenger from
Mountains low ones pretty much out of the door. Loads within 30 minutes
Starbucks - not sure. Nearest costa is 15 miles in either direction. But Starbucks I’m guessing 25-30 miles away
Harvey Nicks. - either Leeds or Manchester a couple of hours away.

Oh god @orangebobble I didn't realise they were outside of Uk! Okay then, 13 hours! There's one in Dubai too. Although should these count? They are crappy airport shops that sell branded teddies and chocolate.
