2 days in London

Will have 2 days in London before our cruise. Staying at Park Plaza Westminster and we're told it's a great location. Any suggestions for top 3 things to do while we're there? Have been told to experience a High Tea - any ideas on this? Restaurant suggestions? This is a trip of a lifetime for my sister and I (ages 58 & 60) and we want to make the most of the time we have there. Thanks!

It really depends on your interests. I love the shows, parks and museums but two days is a really short period of time. So, my top 3 things would be to see a show, stroll through Hyde and Green Parks and go to the Tate or another museum.

AS stated above, it all depends on your interests.
You might try tea at the Wolesley, near Green Park. I always have to visit The National Gallery at Trafalgar Sq, that kills 2 birds with one stone. If you want to kill 3, St MArtin in the Fields is right across from the NG. A trip to Southbank will get you to the Globe and the London Eye and Borough Market is nearby if one of your days is a Thus , Fri., or Sat.That is another place I never miss.YOu could do a walk thru Kensington Park and see Kensington Palace, there are several nice restaurants near the park. Chez Gerard on Kensington High St and Cote on Kensington Court. My new favorite is Venosi on Sloane AVENUE

My favourite site in London is the Tower - so I would spend 1/2 a day there.

Other than that - what are you interested in? Museums? Art? Theatre? History?

V&A offers you a great visit, good shopping and fine tea. Why go anywhere else
