Hi, Here's what I always pass along!
Wow...you're in for a treat! Wear good walking shoes because London is a superb walking city. Bring a good map of the city and begin. Be a happy tourist and first hop on one of the major red double decker tour buses which afford you a perfect overview of London and you can "hop on and off" as often as you please...some for two days! I love www.theoriginaltour.com ! Highlights (see www.londonwalks.com): National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, Tate Modern Museum, London Eye, Covent Gardens (great shops n restaurants), St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, see a play!, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Tower of London.
Know London has many beautiful parks which can be your oasis when needing a rest. Kensington Gardens in one of the world's wealthiest areas - See Princess Di's Kensington Palace and shop Kensington High St. and wander up Church St. for boutiques and such. Nearby: Royal Albert Hall, Science Museum, Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Hyde Park connects to Kensington Gardens. Explore Chelsea for boutiques as well. St. James Park - beautiful, sole restaurant inside. Green Park - high tea at the Ritz, Fortnum & Mason, Picadilly Circus (think Times Square). Shopping streets: Oxford, Bond, check for weekly markets...BUY "TIMEOUT LONDON" weekly magazine. Boat trip on the Thames - a must. Don't forget - you can take the EUROSTAR Chunnel train to Brussels or Paris for day trips (2.5 hrs +/- each way!) Hope this helps. Have a fantastic time! :)

Go get on a national express bus to LIVERPOOL and go to the beatles museum. Liverpool is the best place in England. But in London go see Big Ben, St Pauls cathedral, Buckingham Palace, westminster abbey. Serious if you get the chance come to Liverpool it Rocks like the Beatles. Hope that helped

If the sun is shining go to London Bridge and walk along by the river Thames and check out some of the great pubs that overlook the river.
You might even see me.

Dr. Johnson said He that is tired of London is tired of life. My favourite activity there is looking over the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. I spent 5 days there and didn't see half of it.

Stonehenge as well as the Palace!! I hear London is beautiful, and YOU HAVE to ride a Double Decker Bus!! They are actually phasing them out, in order to be handicap accesible, so enjoy while you can! Have Fun!!
