        Oh, and while you're going round those, you can park Churchill at the conveniently-located London Transport Museum, where he can have fun playing on the old buses and learning about tube trains

            The Tower. For lunch/dinner go across tower bridge to the chop house on Butlers wharf. Steak and Kidney pudding with oysters.

            Tussauds and planetarium.

            St Pauls.

            The London Eye.

            The markets used to be good, but what was once bohemian is now toursit trap central.
            Camden, Borough and Spitalfields spring to mind.

            Take a walk down the river, see the Golden Hind, Globe Theatre and the Clink.

            Take an open top bus tour too.

            I may be a bit out of date. It has been a while.

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

              Any serious suggestions?

              you're all getting soft on your old age, I cant believe no-one has suggested you take her up the OXO tower ...

                    Dont forget to check out if there are any sporting events on or big gigs.

                    Oh, and how about taking her up the Oxo tower?

                      WHS!

                      Anyhoo -

                      try:

                      Natural History/Science/V&A Museums (all along the same road)
                      London Aquarium / London Eye (both relatively close to Waterloo)
                      Greenwich Park / Observatory / Planetarium (close to my gaff, and BPs)
