I just came back from London two weeks ago.

British Museum, get tickets for the Pompeii Exhibit. London Science museum, lots of steam, I went to see the Chas Babbage Difference Engines (first computer ever, mechanical).

I went to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich to see the Harrison Timekeepers (they are running), they solved the Longitude question in about 1750.

Get a London Card online as it gets you a week in the Tube as well as a bunch of free admission to lots of historic London. We did everything on-line in advance and it all worked perfectly.

With the on-line travel we booked the airline and hotel in London which came with a Heathro Express rail pass into central London. We stayed near Paddington station and bought one tube ticket to go to Charring Cross station where we picked up the London Pass card and Rail Pass.

If you want more guidance feel free to Pm Mail me. I had never been before.

The Tube and rail are flawless-on time and get you everywhere in the isle.

Pack light, dress warm.
