That new thing they've brought in on the roads that charge you every time you go into the city centre in your car! Joking!!

I've only ever been to London once that I can actually remember (so I can say Hyde Park's quite nice!) - I was too young to remember when we visited family there but there is loads to do and loads of stuff to see. Very expensive place though so take plenty of cash!

Go to Leiscester Square, Tate Gallery, National History Museum, Harrods!!, Oxford Street, Regent Street and basically anything else you can see in 5 days! Just get one of those cheap guides and walk around, there's tons to see, you'll have fun!

Going up to St. Paul's "tower" (can't remember the word...). Breathtaking sight... and literally breathtaking journey up the stairs!

If you get an open top sightseeing bus you'll be able to get on and off the bus at the various sites around London. I think there are 3 routes to take and 2 show alot of sites and the other only shows the oyal Albert Hall. They take you past places like the Houses of Parliment, the Tower of London, near Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, the Planeterium/Madame Tussads (these are next door to each other)

The London Dungeon is a place to go as well, the shopping bits Regent St, Covent Garden, Oxford St are good if you are here for a Sunday visit Camden Market its good here lots of weird and wonderfull shops/stalls and people.

You can get the underground to the sites as well as alot of them are near a tube station.

Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London are where I would go oh and Madame Tussuads. I have been to all these places and all the above to and would recommend going. The Millennuim Eye and the Millennuim Bridge are also worth taking a look at.

Leciester Square is just good for something to eat and has a few pubs too and Picadilly Circus for the pigeons and to have your picture taken underneath the advertisements! (I have one and I'm English)

Cant think of anything else, possibly the Rock Circus too, I havent been there but would like to.

And if you have time go and see a show in the West End!

I recommend the Tower of London and the Globe Theatre. If you like musuems and art galleries, there's lots of those in London. You also have to stop by Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park is a cool place to go to. I wanted to go to Madame Touseau (sic?) the wax museum, but I couldn't find anyone to go with me. Be forewarned...London is expensive.

you people are all wrong!

only one thing to do in london, watch your wallet thieving bitches about lol



basically for london nightlife dont plan it, dress up, go out, find a club, move about town and just see where you end up, people will constantly tell ya a good bar/club/restuarnat to visit so go visit, as for during the day then the tour buses are the best bet first time, hope on one of them and see what the touristy bit of london has to offer, then your time go and visit those places
