Central London -- Go see Big Ben. Buckingham Palace has a lovely little park (St. James)just outside its gates. Go see Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park. If you have time, Kew Gardens and Richmond Park in the West end are are both beautiful.
There are more palaces than you can shake a stick at. I am pretty sure there is one in Greenwich, which may be doable in one day trip with Richmond (isn't there a palace here too?) Azaleas in Richmond Park -- you may arrive at about the right time to see them. Go see Baker Street. Sherlock Holmes' address was fictitional, but seems to me there's a museum in that block. Ride the doubledecker buses. Don't rent a car, public transportation is very good. Check out Regent Street for shopping. How old is your daughter? The Tate Gallery and the British Museum are worth a look but are probably beyond the patience of a two year old. Also perhaps not for a two-year-old -- go look for Jack the Ripper locations. And yes, if it is at all possible, get out of London while you are there. I recommend Glastonbury and Stonehenge for a day trip. hope that helps >Hi All, > >I just got word back on a contract I was hoping to get in London. I'm headed >out Friday nite on a red-eye.
