Lost in London?

Question

I'm Traveling with a few Friends to London in June, but we have no clue where to visit! Does anyone know of any neat places to go?

Answer 1

It's one of the top tourist places in the world!

It depends entirely what you're into.
The classic heritage sites:
Buckingham Palace (preferably with a changing of the guard)
Westminster Abbey, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Houses of Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral...

Classic tourist sites: Madame Tussauds, The Globe, The London Eye, Regent's Park Zoo...

Strongly recommended unless the weather is awful, a river cruise. You get to see the setting of many of the major sites, and it is possible to buy a hop-off hop-on day pass to spend more time at particular places.

No shortage of museums, art galleries, shopping...
The great parks...
(I'm partial to the Science, Natural History and Imperial War museums, and the National Gallery, but that's me...)

If it's for several days, there are great day trips out from central London too, or further.
Greenwich, Windsor, Cambridge...

(I could be free in June, as I'm between jobs.)

I'm not promoting the ticket sold by the URL, but it seems a fair site on London attractions.

Answer 2

I'll leave the attractions for other people to address. For me, one of the big concerns about traveling is quite simply what to eat.

When I was in London last Christmas, my friend took me to a fantastic place called "My Old Dutch Pancake House." I swear, if I only had one meal left on this earth, I'd go right back to that establishment. Their menu is divided between sweet pancakes and savory ones. I had the apple/cinnamon pancakes with ice cream, and my mouth just waters thinking about it now! Everyone in my group got something different, and we all had cleaned our plates by the time we were done.

There are 3 branches throughout the city, but I can only vouch for the one on Holborn Street, a short walk from the Holborn tube station. Really, try this place out...you won't be disappointed.

Answer 3

Depends what you like, doesn't it? Not being a mind reader, try these

Madame Tussauds
British Museum
Museum of Natural History
Westminster Abbey
Houses of Parliament / Big Ben
Trafalgar Square
Leicester Square
Buckingham Palace
The Tate Gallary
Downing Street
Oxford Street for shopping
Kew Gardens

When you get there, take a bus tour and then go back to certain places for more time.

Answer 4

I agree with the other post . It depends on what you like but there is a lot you can do here so I would suggest a tour guide.
They show you quiet a lot of London and has good variety of sites.
