Picadilly Circus/Leicester square: skip eating at the Planet Hollywood, and instead go have Margaritas at Chiquita's on Leicester square -- sit outside on the patio, and watch London life go by. Do some shopping in Picadilly, and take the short walk to Oxford St. for more shopping if that's your thing. Have bangers & mash (and mushy peas) at The Globe pub at Baker St. & Marylebone Rd.

Parliament/Thames/London Eye: yeah, it's a tourist attraction par excellence, but go ride the eye -- great view of the city and worth the line. Walk around Parliament and Westminster, take a boat ride on the Thames (the tour boats can be boarded across the Thames from the Eye).

Go to Madame Tussade's, london eye / Big ben and buckingham Palace.

I beg you to take 2 tours, they'll give you a complete overview of how London is and you will touch all the important landmarks.

- Any of the London Tour buses. They visit all the major landmarks and you can hop in and out of the bus. It is a bit pricey but worth the money.

-Take a river tour. You will see many of London's attractions from a different point of view.

And then go window browsing or perhaps shopping (Oxford Street, Kings Road in Chelsea, Camden Market in the north are all time favourties).

HuCeR2212

1. Bigben and house of parliament
2. Towe bridge
3. Buckingham palace
but i think, with two days in london, you can go and see almost verything in london. last time in febuary i was in london for 2 days actually, i had enough time to go to bigben, house of parliament, buckingham palace, london eye, trafalger square, greenwich observatory, recent park and royal park, downing street. actually, those places are quite near eachother except greenwich meantime observatory is about 3 miles (if i am right) away from the rest. i think you still have enough time to go to some shopping centres. nice but over crowded place

lootai
