the london eye, buckingham palace, and just tour the city. it's a great place. sometimes what's fun is not having any plans for the day and walking around in different places of the city seeing as much as you can
Covent garden is a really cute little place to visit, with all the markets and some great shops around there, plus amazing street performers.
London eye, Madam Tussuads museum, trafalgar square, Harrods, trip at the river, Hyde park at afternoon.
i personally think the london eye is rubbish and boring but if you want a touristy view of london then i guess its good.
go to buckingham palace if u happen to be american or one of those people fascinated by the queen.
covent garden is really nice for shopping and its generally nice.
tower of london, again, if your interested in that sort of thing.
i think madame tussauds is a bit of a waste of money to be honest, unless you are dying to get photos with stars.
it all depends what kind of things you want to do and see.
Go to Camden Town and Portebello Market
I'd say ingore what the guides say and chose from your own interests. May I share my favourites, and hope they give you a taster?
Not sure how long you have here, and if you are British or if this is your very first visit from abroad. I'll assume a couple of days and that you don't know the city.
London has so many faces that the tourist centre doesn't give you a feel of the city. The many towns sewn into Greater London give it much of its character, even though not all have particular things to visit. Some central and well known ones are Camden and my favourite: Greenwich, with so much history and a big green space.
Chelsea, Islington, Notting Hill, and Hoxton are exmaple aof other places with shops and cafes with different feels.
My favourite museum is the Museum of London, telling the city's history in models and a recreation of the Great Fire of 1666. Like many of the large museums, it's free.
The Tower and Hampton Court are in contrast quite expensive (c£15 each) but they are fantastic if you're interested in English History and like old buildings. Hampton Court can amuse for hours.
London's churches are a big part of its character, though its most famous two (Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral) are both c£10 to enter. Try Wren's city parish churches which are free, such as St Stephen Walbrook close to the Bank of England.
Take a stroll by the river - Southbank's a good spot, where you can explore the Globe theatre and the Tate Modern Art Gallery among other attractions.
To get a general feel, take a tour bus. If they seem alot of money, try bus 11 from Victoria to St Liverpool St Stations - you get to meet many of London's sights.
