Default Re: Looking for ideas... must-see and do in London

Yes, do the bus and walking tour on your first day. It will give you a lot of good advice on what to see.

London is nothing short of amazing! Don't let cd tell you otherwise.

Just being in the city and taking in the architecture in an experience in and of itself. Tower of London was very cool to see. Check out all the old weapons and armour.

The British museum has stuff you will not see anywhere else in the world: Spend a day; or two!

I really enjoyed the art gallery as well.

The tube will take you anywhere you need, fast and easy.

Take a day trip as well and go to Bath and visit the Roman Baths.
Stonehenge is cool to see and the barrrows around there are very interesting as well.
We went to Salisbury Cathedral, which has the oldest known working clock and one of the original magna carta there.

Basically it's an amazing city, on so many levels. And yes, go to market square and get some theatre tickets for a show that night. There about half price that way.
