Wayne, Jamo listed a bunch of great sites. The tube is wonderful to get from point A to point B quickly but the double deckers will let you see the scenery. The London Muesum is definitely a must. Remember the tower of London. Look for Kronenberg draft beer in the pubs. Its actually French but is Oh So Good and in a whole lot of pubs. A nice lager, chilled to about 45 degrees, and carries a nice punch, after three or four pints. There is also a "strong lager" version I found in cans that will kick yer a+s. Lovely stuff. There are tons of excellent Indian, Greek, and just about any ethnic restuarants you can imagine. A truly international city. I personally liked the area around Kew Gardens and 'way back, there were some nice, small personal hotels that were barely more than B&Bs. Driving on the wrong side, from the wrong side isn't all that bad. Just have to really try to remember to look the "wrong" way when you pull out into traffic. Get out and walk. The neighborhoods have lots of wonderful shops like the meat monger, fish monger, bakery, frozen food store, etc. They probably have supermarkets in some areas by now but the little neighborhood stores had the best, freshest goodies. Enjoy your trip. Great place to visit with wonderful people.
