Kew Gardens
Without doubt the world's most perfect botanical gardens, the
expansive Kew Gardens is part royal pleasure garden, part research
institute. The curvaceous, dripping hot Palm House is the focal
point.
Westminster Abbey
London's finest Gothic monument, Westminster Abbey, has been a
coronation venue for nearly a millennium and is the burial-place of
poets, politicians and royalty.
Docklands Light Railway
Take the driverless Docklands Light Railway for a bird's-eye view of
the Docklands development, finishing up with a great view across the
Thames to Greenwich.
Highgate Cemetery
The leafy and tranquil Highgate Cemetery is the ultimate Victorian
Valhalla, famous as the resting-place of Karl Marx.
Victoria and Albert Museum
Free admission is a thing of the past, but this is an applied arts
collection with something for everyone: from Raphael's Cartoons to a
sofa based on Mae West's lips.
Old London Double Decker
The #11 bus will take you from the House of Parliament and Westminster
Abbey, up Whitehall, round Trafalgar Square, up the Strand and down
Fleet Street and deposit you outside St Paul's Cathedral.

Harrods
London's most famous department store is also the city's third biggest
tourist attraction. Though you can buy most things more cheaply
elsewhere if you can do without the famous green carrier bag, the food
halls are a work of art, and the building itself is a landmark.
Tower of London
Entrance charges to the Tower of London are extortionate, but there's
something for everyone: the crown jewels, Beefeaters, torture
instruments and a millennium's worth of blood-curdling history.
Spitalfields Market
visit the old Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market at the edge of the
East End on a Sunday and you'll find London's finest organic market,
craft stalls, a miniature railway and lots of stands with delicious
food.
