London<3

To be honest I mostly just shop when I go to London. But besides that go to Camden,Covent Garden,Oxford Street,London Eye,a few museums(the Science one is my favourite),Chinatown. There's loads. Obviously all the touristy places like Buckingham Palace,St. Paul's Catherdal and so on.

I find live events e.g. comedy and music the most rewarding. Then it has to be shopping.

If you have time, InOne, you could also visit Greenwich by River Thames cruising. There is a Maritime Museum also O2 Arena is nearby.

Covent Garden is must.

How about afternoon tea at Waldorf Hilton, Palm Court? Just enjoy atmosphere.

I ****ing love London, it's my favourite place on earth. <3 I go there all the time haha.

Ummmm Camden Market definately. They have everything and I agree with Nate, they always give away amazing food. :') And the shops there are great!

And then the obvious touristy stuff like Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and that.

Oxford Street is great for shopping, as is Carnaby Street and Covent Garden. Bond Street is good too if you have lots of money LOL.

Have a good time! :] There's a saying "If you're tired of London, you're tired of life" so you won't get bored xD

The good thing is, is that Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and Houses of Parliament are pretty much all together. You don't really have to travel much.

spend all day in crowded, hot and smelly public transport, avoid gangs of black youths, avoid pickpockets, be overcharged everywhere.

Nothing like (as the song says) 'looking on the bright side of life' - LT - you need to widen your horizons - and leave the 'deep, deep highlands' behind you!

I can see both sides regarding Camden. It does have a great market etc and is very vibrant and busy, but it is full of druggies etc. Has it's good and bad points in my experience.
