go on the london eye and go to covent garden and buy lots of things then go to the sea life place and watch the giant fish swim round and round.
go on the train so you can get 2for1 entry into places.

Close your eyes and pretend you're somewhere else.

If this doesn't work get inside somewhere away from the pollution - the National Gallery and the British Museum are both quite good.

Looks like nice weather out there today so go and stick your feet in the fountain at Trafalgar Square. And pop into the National Gallery and get up close with a Picasso. Or go and soak up the atmosphere on the south bank, Covent Garden or Oxford Street.

And don't forget to look up and appreciate the amazing architecture that is all around you!

Depends what you like to do... Avoid Oxford Street unless you want to shop in big stores (Selfridges etc) or the usual high street stuff as the people traffic is a nightmare. Covent Garden is good for wondering around, lots of entertainment, little shops etc. Museums are all good, if you have Â£15 to burn go see Bodies the Exhibition at Earls Court, it's amazing.
Oh and if you go via Charing Cross anywhere go to Crussh - they make THE BEST smoothies. Officially.
Have fun.

The Victoria and Albert Museum is amazing, the building is interesting as well as the stuff in it. It's close to the Natural History Museum and Science museum too.
Then there's Tate Modern which is fabulous, and if you go to Leicester Square you could get cheap (ish) tickets for a show in the evening.

There's too man things! But on a short time span the london eye is very good - although you want to get in early because of the queues, the Tower of London is incredibly popular for a reason, and the shops along Oxford street are amongst the best known in the world. Have fun!

Oh yeah, and hyde park is lovely.

go to airport ... i think it would take a long time to get there today

Miss Splendid

Natural History museum and Science Museum are brilliant and they are free!!!!

Madam Taussauds is brilliant too but quite pricey I think.

Have a fantastic day whatever you decide!!!

There's lots to see.and visit. Here's a brief list of the main attractions.

Palaces - Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace. All of these are open to visitors.

Museums and Galleries - Natural History Museum, Science Museum, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, The Tate and Tate Modern, British Museum, Imperial War Museum.

Famous Buildings and Monuments etc - The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, Whitehall and Downing Street, Clarence House, St James Palace, Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Marble Arch, Monument, Tower Bridge, London Eye.

Churches - Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, St Clement Dane, Temple Church, Saint Martin in the field.

There's such a lot to see I can't possibly list them all here. I'd recommend an Eyewitness Travel Guide as they're very comprehensive and include attractions, opening times, photos and maps.

Try the website for The Original London Walks as they do loads of guided tours around the city, They're very cheap and you can take Jack the Ripper, Harry Potter, The Da Vinci Code, Charles Dickens, Museum and Ghost walks. They are very good indeed and you get to see the places lots of tourists don't eve know about.

Travel by tube or bus, It's cheaper than by taxi and very convenient. You can get travel cards from your nearest tube station.

The main shopping streets are Oxford and Regent Street. You can try New Bond Street for Designer labels. Camden for alternative clothing. There's a big mall in Brent Cross also.

As for food, there are places to eat everywhere. China Town in Soho is good and Brick Lane for Indian Food in particular.

There are lots of public parks and green areas in London. I'd recommend lunch al fresco if it's fine.
Have fun.

I would take a trip down Oxford street! or Why not go to Regents park and the ZOO!
What ever you do have fun! I wish it was me!!!

I like to walk down the river. You get to see all the sites and it is free.

Take a trip on the River Thames from Westminster Pier to Greenwich and back with a stop at Greenwich for some sight seeing. It is a fun day out and very eductional too.
