Henry, I'm not sure of your tastes but here are some suggestions in London:
Westminster Abbey and Hall and perhaps the Houses of Parliament, London Eye, which is a giant wheel with passenger cupolas on the South Bank, British Museum(antiquities), Victoria & Albert Museum(applied arts), National Gallery and Nat. Portrait gallery(both in Trafalgar Sq.), Courtauld Gallery(inSomerset House on the Strand east of Waterloo Bridge), Docklands Light Railway,which starts near Tower Hill metro station, to Woolwich, walk under Thames in the Victorian tunnel and visit the Maritime Museum at Greenwich, boat trip from Westminster down to the Thames Barrage, boat or rail to Hampton Court, palace built by Cardinal Wolseley and taken over by Henry VIII, Harrods department store, if only to marvel at the food hall, Brick Lane in the East End, a street full of excellent curry restaurants, a day visit by rail to Oxford or Cambridge, Kew Botanic Gardens(Metro District Line to Kew Gdns.). This is a bit pricey; if you want to do this give me a ring on 020-8940-2428 and I'll take you in as guests on my season ticket. Hope there is something here to interest you and ring if you need advice or info.
