Somerset House exhibition offers in-depth look at the designer’s couture and craft

-- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Fashion fans will be delighted to visit the latest exhibition presented by Somerset House on the Strand in London's West End, as the gallery celebrates the life and work of fashion designer Valentino.

This winter 2012/2013 will find the sumptuous doors of the old palace building filled with couture, photos and retrospectives taking in the Italian fashion house's 130 years of clothes-making history.

Open daily from November 29 th 2012, and running until March 2013, it is expected to be one of London's big sellers in the major gallery world, so booking is advised, especially for the holiday period. Children under 12 go in free, with concessions at £9 and adults at £12.50.

Located right in the heart of central London, the exhibition is also a great excuse for a more extended trip up to the city, and an exploration of the other events on. LondonTown.com, the number one website for London and its offers and events, is pleased to have sourced some excellent winter deals on London hotels in the West End area.

Couture and art fans will want to make the most of staying central, within easy reachability of both Somerset House and the SW7 galleries in Kensington. For super 5* luxury, the ME London hotel in Covent Garden, just 2 minutes' walk from Valentino, has doubles on sale for £450 per night for those wanting to celebrate a very special occasion.

Or why not try the Thistle HolbornThe Kingsley hotel, 4* and with double rooms at a 78% discount, for £159 per night.
