Sounds geeky

If I am having a non shopping weekend - you are having a non geeky weekend.

A deal!!!

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/

Or try the St Pancras Champagne Bar.

You see, my first suggestion isn't so bad at all.

If you're going to the London Eye consider paying the extra few quid for the "guided tour" where a guide goes in the pod with you and points out interesting things.
(+ you don't queue up with the crowds, but you still wait about as long in a nice back room with chairs).

Cabinet War Rooms.

Follow that by stroll in St James Park past Buckingham Palace. Then through Green Park or St James up to The Wolseley on Piccadilly for champagne high tea.

yes, good plan. St James's is nice to saunter through. If the Wolseley's booked, try Brown's on Albemarle Street.

1) Speakers corner in hyde park on a Sunday is always entertaining.
2) I’d go for a good Lebanese meal…Edgware road, or sultan in shepard’s market – Curzon street
3) All museums are worth it….took kids to natural history museum a few weeks ago. Also tower of London is good…
4) Theatre – lots of choice

Swindon is only an hour away by train.

Something to consider.

Yeah, there's always a downside.

Admittedly it was a couple of years ago I did this trip (we hired a private capsule) but it wasn't that nice a back room!
