If you are travelling into the centre of London from outside get a Travelcard it covers all busses tubes and DLR then so you can travel around.
If you do not have time and a limited budget try to use the open tour busses and have a look around.
Dont go to the big tourist hotspots unless you have too. Look at the Tower, Tussards, etc, but very costly to go in, best to take outside shots and move on.
If you can try the Yellow Duck tour, it includes the Thames trip.
Spend a whole day walking around Leicester Square, Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road, Regents Street, The Strand and Covent Garden, the shops are great, loads to see and a lot to do in these areas that you do not have to vus or tube on.
Try to get in to Trafalgar Square area for 10am and make way around corner to St James Park for the changing of the guard and then along the mall to Buckingham Palace.
Plan ahead and pick up the 2 for 1 offer leaflet from your local railway station, not only attractions, but shows, resturants and tours in there at half price!

Olivia, lot of good innovations on the drapes etc. in case you do have domicile windows that get midday day solar you do choose to tug the colors however if it rather is not real windy outdoors. Direct solar warms carpets and couches etc. It keeps a sprint radiant warmth for later in the day. close the colors while the solar starts getting low. a hearth place is an rather IN-valuable heater. different than those outfitted with those blowers, a hearth do not hardly do something. inspite of the blowers, they are especially costly to function. ought to verify they are sparkling, and then have a great number of timber. stated you probably did not choose to lay our a fortune. this could be slightly costly to place in. there is those people who do those retrofits, the place they set up an iron range, and run the vent up via the old hearth. You loose some living area, reason the range is interior some ft. additionally ought to have a steel protector for the floor, and an fence to maintain old people, childrens and drunks removed from the range. you will get warmth from each and every little bit of timber, and it won't in basic terms bypass up the chimney. A range radiates warmth all around

The best Museums and Art Galleries are free. The V & A, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum are all close together and there is something for everyone there. The London Eye and river cruise are a bit expensive but worth it as its a memorable experience. You can get free tickets to see TV shows and dont forget Covent Garden where the buskers are brillient. Have a good time.

If you're in the London area - then get a copy of Time Out for the relevant time - they have more offers than anywhere else I have seen. Apart from that, try the restaurant review sites where you regularly get offers.
Buy an Oyster card for them and check out their offers - there are loads and its also the cheapest way to get around London. You'll get a discount on the riverbus services as well.
Try the markets - you won't get a better free show anywhere (Camden, Greenwich and Borough my personal favourites.)
