No. The nearest she ever came to London was Fotheringay in Northamptonshire, about 70 miles from London. From the age of 25, she spent the rest of her life under guard in various castles and manors, ending up in Fotheringay where she was finally beheaded.
She never met her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I.

Queen Mary was incarcarated in Fotheringay Castle, in the county of Northamptonshire where she was finally beheaded.
Both she and her cousin Elizabeth I never met, despite the reigning queen's huge curiousity concerning her.
Mary never visited London.

No never!
She was held at Bolton and Tutbury, visited Buxton, held at Coventry during the Northern uprising, visited Chatsworth house during her captivity, Chartley and finally to Fotheringhay castle where she was executed for her plot to murder Elizabeth 1st after the discovery of the 'Babington plot' but never London.
Her keeper was George 6th Earl of Sherwsbury and Bess of Hardwicks fourth husband.
Her story is fascinating. She began life as Queen of France! She was accused of murdering her husband Lord Darnley. She married her husbands 'murderer' and was chased from Scotland by her own people.
Once in England she became the centre of every Catholic plot to kill Elizabeth and be put on the throne in her stead!

No way. It was a deliberate policy of Elizabeth I to keep her well away from London where she might have a better chance of arousing sympathy among the masses. The person who suggested you check your computer obviously didn't do so themselves.

No. She was held in & later executed at Fotheringay Castle. Elizabeth felt it was risking rescue by her sympathisers having her in the Tower & did not want her too nearby.

No. She was held prisoner on an island in Loch Leven. Also Linlithgow Palace springs to mind

No never.Queen Elizabeth made sure she kept her away from London to keep her from rousing her catholic supporters.
