    I would suggest those places i've been to on our london holiday last month, you can try going for a bateaux lunch cruise at thames river - best way to explore london
    also try the london eye ride - splendid view specially at night although a bit scary for me, lol.... you can check out harrods, buckingham palace, westminster abbey,
    westminster square, st. paul's cathedral/millenium bridge, london tower and london tower bridge, and of course shop at oxford highstreet
    You can also check houses of parliament and big ben, and 7 downing st. - the prime minister's official residence,
    picadilly circus, leicester square and trafalgar square and also check out the west end theatre and all the other theatre's there,
    they got so many interesting shows to choose from and of course the museums and galleries
    Also don't forget the chinatown and enjoy an authentic chinese food - yummy
    there's a lot of other interesting places we went to, but i didn't get the name of those....there's quite a lot to explore there really
    and i would suggest to explore london both by day and night a very interesting place indeed
    Of course, visit the windsor castle and have a tour inside - which i highly recommend
    I'm sure you'll have fun exploring london as much as i did

    Oh my gosh, well, putting together a list of places to go to in London is kinda akin to doing the same for Manila or Hong Kong ... it's so big and varied!

    My recommendation is this ... Tawi has extensive knowledge about everywhere on the globe, seriously, he's been everywhere! Listen to that man

    LONDON is big!!! So better wear your most comfy shoes (preferably with socks and not high heeled) if you want to last the whole day touring London lol. (just a friendly tip)

    And don't listen to the rumours, for example, my best moments ever in london were in Hackney, in the middle of the so-called murder mile ...

    the people were beautiful.

    Just be careful, and you'll be fine

    Actually, hackney is a bleedin wonderful place, but stick to what Tawi told you
