What a lot of great information on this forum!
My family, including husband, 2 young teenage boys, and myself will be going to England in June. We will be staying 3 days/2 nights in London. We'll also be doing a separate day trip for a show (Wizard of OZ and the Science Museum). I've put together an itinerary, and I would love your feedback!
Day 1 - After 2 hour train ride, checking into hotel about 10a. Heading straight to Imperial War Museum, where we plan on spending several hours (and lunch).
Walk down Thames, checking out street performers and a bite at Master Fish and Chips (the boys want some good fish and chips). Cruise down the Thames to St Katherine Docks. It might be about 6p-7p. Is this a good time for a cruise, and is there a place to get a little dessert, maybe an ice cream parlor? Another option is the London Eye, but my boys are not too keen.
Day 2 - London Walks Tour (London Tour) 1030a -1230p ending at Trafalgar Square (this includes Westmisnter Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Changing of Guard, along with other sights). It ends at Trafalgar Sqaure.
Enjoy the sights of Trafalgar Square, lunch at Walkers and Whitehall.
British Museum
Covent Garden. I'd love suggestions for dinner, somewhere fun, in the heart of covent garden would be ideal. Whether it's a diner, Indian, or a pub, we are open. We're looking to spend no more than 15 -17 pounds for a main.
Day 3- Check-out of hotel/ leave bags with hotel
Tower of London
Walk across bridge to Burroughs Market/lunch
Walk across Mellenium Bridge to St Paul's Cathedral including the crypt and climbing the dome.
Pick up luggage from hotel.
