Visiting that London...suggestions for places of interest?

British museum is excellent. Tower of London also good to see all the stuff looted/gifted from the Empire. :D
 
St Pauls - ALL OF IT ... dome gives you a great view and the Crypt where you'll see some great folk from history :beerjug:

I was lucky enough to visit St. Paul's in '17. Climbed to top of dome, did the crypt, stayed for evensong, even got seats in the choir. 'T'was an experience to be remembered!! It is a "must do" for any London visitor!
 
Do the real touristy thing - hop on one of the open topped tour buses or do the equivalent on a boat along the Thames. Many moons ago meself and herself arrived in London and realised we had no bank cards with us, :rolleyes: just the few bob of loose change. We were staying in my brother's flat on Old Queen St. (beside St James Park - some location!) so we were sorted for accommodation, but we had to do everything on a shoestring. Thames river tour was great - even in late December!
 
Just back after a very enjoyable few days beyond! Great weather and saw lots:

Greenwich - Cutty Sark, Observatory (outside), Painted Hall and then back to Westmisnter by boat.
London Wetlands
Cycled Hammersmith to Covent Garden via Hyde Park, Green Park, Buck House, Horseguards, Trafalgar Sq. !
Excellent Sunday lunch in The Old Ship, cycled across Putney Bridge and along to the Leg of Mutton Reservation.
Was planning to see the London Water and Steam museum - next time!!

Looking forward to the next trip!
 
Here's a few photos from the different days, we spent time with daughter, her partner and their 6-week old baby!

Cycling in London on Sunday morning was pleasant, and the cops around Buckingham Palace were very helpful and let us cycle along, meanwhile they were coralling the pedestrians big-time!
