My oldest daughter is going with my dad to Denmark for Christmas. On the way home, they have a day layover in London. I want him to take her out on the town, but they only have a few hours (have to sleep a little). Any ideas on what they MUST see? I want to give him some ideas.... ( I know it's a few months away, but I'm a planner)

    Right in London -- The London Eye, Big Ben, Thames River (of course right there) tell them to get the roasted nuts -- delish, what else.... Cleopatra's needle (all of these really close together) Trafalgar Square -- Chinatown (fun).
    Tell them to get a tube pass or get to walking they can catch a ton in a day (I walked my bro and sis to death for their visit - only a day as well).

    Tower of London is a MUST! The crown jewels make it totally worth it!

    The London Eye means they can see all over London! Big Ben, the parliament buildings and the Thames. Trafalgar Square is pretty cool too! Camden Market is a really cool hip young place with lots on interesting and quirky shops and cafes, if she has time for shopping!

    Picadilly Square!! and yes the Tower of London -- but that is an all day thing so... depends what you want to do. Shopping -- don't get me started on that... :laugh:

    With the limited time I'd also vote Tower of London - great history and exhibits; you get a nice feel for the country. However, most airports are ~45 mins away by train; add queueing time on both ends and I'm not sure a few hours will be enough time. Hopefully they can work this out - London is my favorite city!!! Cheers......Mike
