Or if you are feeling a bit touristy?

London Eye (For panoramic views of the city, get onboard the London Eye.)

The London Eye is approximately five minutes walking distance from Waterloo tube (follow signs for the South Bank) and Westminster tube station (exit one, follow signs for Westminster pier).

Big Ben and Houses of Parliament (We suppose it wouldn’t be a proper trip to London if you didn’t make the obligatory trip to see the city’s most famous clock tower. Although did you know? "Big Ben" does not refer to the whole clock tower, but to the huge thirteen ton bell that strikes the hour.)

Or to become something of a wine connoisseur..

Vinopolis (London’s premiere wine attraction. A popular museum on the south bank, where you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about the world of wine. Sampling them all along the way..)

For those with a sense of fashion… (or those, who would like one)

London Fashion Week (If you happen to find yourself in London in February or September)

Selfridges (One of London’s most trendy and fashionable department stores)

And most importantly, how to get there...

London Tourism Board
London Transport
London Underground

Although if you don’t want to subject yourself to the erratic and capricious London public transportation system, you can generally flag down a cab wherever you are. This is not the fastest, but certainly the most comfortable way of getting around.
