All you have to do now is decided what you want to do !

There are hundreds of places to go and see in London many of the places I suggest could take you a whole day depending on your interest. When going to strange city we often ask "what shall I see and do there? what are the best places to visit?" In London the answer to these questions is as varied as the number of visitors London attracts.
