Ditto to the above answer. In addition, you should go see Buckingham Palace, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, the Globe, the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge (I've heard you can even go up to the top of the bridge). You should also see Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. I'd also recommend going to some of the parks, like Hyde Park and Regent's Park. If you're into shopping, don't forget to stop at Harrod's.

For theatre, check out this website: link. As for museums, there's Madam Tussaud's, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the Imperial War Museum, the British Museum, plus tons more. If you like art, there's the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, and the Tate Modern.

P.S. Before you leave, you should look at the Transport for London website (link) to learn about the public transportation system. There, you will find maps, Oyster travelcards (which you should get when you get there), and even a journey planner which provide directions on how to get from one place to another.

Oxford Street is awesome! (TopShop, anyone?) and I really liked the Tower of London (A LOT, actually! I love historical stuff like that!)and another thing I really liked was Cambridge. Now, I know thats not in London, but its only 60 miles outside of it, and its so beautiful there!

Hi there,

The top spot for visitors is Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge and London Eye where you get great shops, lively atmosphere, cafes, museums and theatres as well. For families with young children, Bromley becomes the best location. It scored highly for the quality of shops, health facilities and schools. You will find them in the gift shops at the museums, and at the markets. London is one of the largest cities in the world, also known as the financial heart of the United Kingdom.
When I first time visited to London, I booked a studio apartment for the duration of my stay there to make my journey smooth and happening, even they helped me to resolve the issue of having to make hotel arrangements and was more economical in cost too.
