I'm going to London later this year, I've seen Buckingham Palace, any other suggestions?
You can get cheaper tickets to a play. There is a site that lists activities and prices if you google. I have a friend going to England and I emailed her the site but forget what terms I used to find it.
I would go o a double decker tour. You see the city and hear some history. Then you can decide what you want to look at.
For me, the British Museum. It is free.
The wax museum, See the Royals, the Beatles.
The Tower of London. But get the recording rather than go with Beefeaters. Hard to understand and so many people.If you want to see the big diamond, go right away when it opens in the AM.
We liked Covent garden with all of the street performers.
Harrod’s was a disappointment as was Stonehenge.
Buckingham Palace from the outside was disappointing as well.
If like gardens, Kew gardens,
There is the London Eye but I don’t like heights. Went to Greenwich just to say was on the timeline. Not exciting.
Went to Portobello market. Lots of stuff for sale.
Did not take a trip down the Thames. Went to the museum with clothes. I forget what it is called. Did not go to the portrait museum, Too many museums. Favorite is the British Museum,
Speakers corner. Parliament is breathtaking.
So much to see.
When we were in the subway ( that is what they call a street that goes underground . The tube is what they call what we call the subway) on the way to the Tower of London, we were talking to a young man who was selling trinkets. We asked about the Tower.
He said that he had never been. We expressed surprise . We said there is so much history.
He said, “History history history. All there is is history.”
