Start with Harrods. It's there.

Is Harrods really worth a visit. Hear about it a lot but is it just a more expensive Debenhams??

[Vanessa]

Also Oxford Street for some shopping

harrods and Selfridges are on a par price wise ... and Selfridges is Debenhams (or was) it gets very difficult to follow who owns what after a while.

Harrods is ok, it's an experience that you wont get anywhere else. Apart from that there are some seriously expensive properties, the science museum and some parkland in Kensington

The science museum is brilliant

[Vanessa]

Most of the museums in London are free. So if you have time it's definitely worth going.

You should visit The Real World: London 1995 house. It’s so iconic.

Watching Sister Act, Wicked and Tina the musical whilst I'm there. Never seen a musical in London itself only when they have toured. So that's gonna be amazing

Buckingham Palace is near Green Park Station
