Well just walking round London is wonderful. So many amazing building, squares, streets, and so much history.

Start by the river at the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, walk up Whitehall, past 10 Downing Street and the Cenotaph to Trafalger Square. No more than half a mile but so much history.

Also see St Pauls, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, British Museum, Oxford Street, Covent Garden, Piccadily Circus, Harrods, Hamleys Toy Shop, Leicester Square, the Monumment (where the great fire of London started), and that is for starters.

I tell this to everyone who wants to visit London, but get this book.

London Eye witness travel Guide from DK. Best �10 or so you can spend.

Full of ideas of places to go in London. Full color, lots of diagrams and loads of things to see and do including Museums, Sights, Walks, Restaurants, Hotels, and so on.

Camden lock market is amazing. There are lots of stalls and shops selling everything you can think of and there are food stalls selling every cuisine imaginable. We always pop down in the morning whenever we visit London.

If you love shopping and are female you must visit the Topshop on Oxford Street too

Just get a travelcard for the three days and use the buses when you start getting tired. A trip down the Thames is really nice if it's a good day.
