The closest thing to the original Laduree in Paris.  I'll take it however I can get it.  Laduree in Harrods Knightsbrige.  Must try the infamous Laduree Macaron in the following flavors:  Violet, lemon, rose, caramel, and pistachio.  Also, the heavenly velvet hot chocolate is another must, even if you don't want it and aren't in the mood.  However, in London they forgot or just didn't serve it with a dollop of whipped cream (creme fraiche?) as is customary on Champs Elysee.  It's just one of those things... when you go to Paris, you cannot leave without having sat in Laduree and watched the Parisian world go by while taking tiny bites out of your delectable French macarons.
