    IMHO the "best"/cheesiest touristy thing to do is madam tousauds [sp] or the london eye.


    Not so cheesy but much better, i'd second the museums, especially the V&A.

        Sorry, but hard to give an answer to that without more clues.
        I just want to be a tourist for a day or two...

        Ok - but I want a bit of tacky stuff too!

          Right, sensible answers please.

          Girly and I are visiting London for a wedding. We've decided to do a little sight-seeing while there.

          Any serious suggestions?

                      London Eye or if you don't mind spending a few quid try the champagne bar at the top of the Natwest Tower its called 'Vertigo 42', great views and its open on a Sat evening as well now, you have to book though to get in the bar and you get 2hrs slot worth it though. http://www.vertigo42.co.uk/
