London is awesome. I've loved my time here.
Hi, Here's what I always pass along re: what to see in London!
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! :)

Start with breakfast at Columbia Road flower market, then stroll up Brick Lane into Spitalfields. Wander around Spitalfields Market before heading to Canteen or S&M for lunch, or a few pints in the courtyard of Vibe Bar. You can join the Jack the Ripper tour nearby or check out the Spitalfields City Farm with its animals, plants and farm shop. Tower Bridge is a short walk away as well so you could end up with a boat ride there. Well, that's what I'd do.

Recently went on one of those walking tours of London, there are many but the 'Jack the Ripper ' one was excellent with the guide taking us to all the murder spots and giving us the low down, it took a good hour and a bit and all of us thought it was great and something a little different.

Not sure they're running on Sunday but you could try - from Westminster pier - trip on river to Greenwich - boat goes past (or under) many of the 'famous sights' of London.

The science museum in South Kensington - there's lots of hands-on activity and great info - then pop in to the V & A next door - mind boggling stuff in there

go to a South African church, the atmosphere is just amazing and they have translators aswell. Kingscross has one. You will here all the SA's talking and laughing is the tunnels on their way, usually there are 3 to 4 services because it is very popular.
