There is also the London Eye. There is an aquarium nearby too, but it's not all that great. They had a Star Wars exhibit (I didn't go in) also nearby while we were there. It was cool for Star Wars people, I guess you could act like a jedi with one of those light sticks (whatever they are called). There is an ice cream shop in the same area where you can get waffles and ice cream. There is also the Imperial War Museum, as guys I figured you might like that type of thing. Buckingham Palace was cool, but you can't see shit because it is uber crowded. Get ur picture taken by a London phone booth, but don't go inside unless you hold ur breath. London is expensive and a lot of ppl there are loaded so you will probably see a lot of Ferrari's and the like. If you can, hit up Harrods.
One other thing you have to get used to while in Europe, they aren't big on ice, quite stingy actually, and if you're expecting to be served a nice cold beer while in London don't. I couldn't drink it myself, but I am not a big beer drinker.
Great blog. Vicki i know exactly wat your talking about on the ice thing. I was in france and I asked for a cup of ice, just an empty cup of ice, i already had the can of soda, and the kind miss gave a cup with one single cube of ice, it melted almost immediately lol. On a side i found a cool site you might want to check out. its called baraaza.com
