One day in London

We are taking our first trip to Paris (8 nights) with a one-day train trip to London.
Haven't a clue what we can fit into about 12 hours. We do have tickets for the hop-on hop-off bus. Any ideas where to hop off are appreciated.
Many thanks,
Laurie

Some clue as to who "we" is (a senior couple? a family with 2 small kids?) and your interests would help us give advice.

and when is the trip?

But basically - you can get off wherever you want and get back on so let us know what interests you and we can give advice.

(BTW - I personally would not have pre-purchased the H-o-H-o tickets. Probably not much if any money savings, and what if it is a drippy or stormy day? Not that great on an open-air bus)

I found the area I liked best with the most to do is around the Westminster tube stop. There is Big Ben and Parliament, The London Eye, Aquarium, Thames River Boat Ride, Westminster Abbey, walking through St James Park, Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square. Plenty to do if you are able and don't mind walking a bit.

I agree with hpeabody. That is what I did with my time in London and was very happy with what I was able to see and do in the length of time.
