Historical sites: Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Parliament, Tower of London<BR><BR>Museums: Victoria & Albert Museum, British Museum, Tate Museum<BR><BR>Shopping: Harrod's, Harvey Nich's, Covent Garden, any street market <BR><BR>Outdoor spaces: Hyde Park (PEDAL BOATS), St James Park (interesting water fowl), Richmond Park (wild deer!)<BR><BR>Category of its own: London Eye<BR><BR>You probably can't do ALL of the above, but if you only do one out of each category, you can't go wrong.<BR><BR>I'll let others give restaurant recos, 'cause I never remember where I ate (except Ye Olde Cheshire, which I like)

frogger, it would be best if you did some preliminary research, including going to the UK in Fodors "subject search" and read the back posts for ideas, then come back and ask us specific questions.
