fox20thc Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 The British museum is fabulous as is the natural history museum and the V&A. Steer clear of Oxford Street, its full of tat shops and resembles the moor on a Saturday afternoon with extra rudeness thrown in. You can do all the landmarks on foot as they are all practically within the square mile (Trafalgar square, Buck house, Picadilly and the Houses of Parliament). If you really want to do the touristy thing you can go into horse guards parade and watch the changing of the guards (always fun and free) I like visiting the tower of London. Beware of buying tickets for shows in Leicester square (lots of dodgy folks hang around there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ian1917 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Blue Man Group is a good show you can get tickets to quite easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I really enjoyed the London Aquarium. It's right near the London Eye on the Thames. If you like the lovely, lovely Kylie then the Kylie Exhibition is running until 10th June at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It's free but you have to book tickets for a particular time slot. Info here: http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/fashion/kylie/index.html Also if you like Queen, the musical We Will Rock You is fab. Have fun!

squeakyclean Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I really enjoyed the Greenwich maritime museum. The Cutty sark is also down there as well. We got on the Docklands light railway one way, and a river boat on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruff Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Try and get on the London Eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 The British museum is fabulous as is the natural history museum and the V&A. I'll second all three of those, though you realy need a few hours minimum in each. Kew Gardens is worth a visit if you have time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
