6 days in London - itinerary

Agree with adding Tate Modern to the itinerary. Then walk across Millennium Bridge to St. Paul’s Cathedral and do the self-guided audio tour; it’s an incredible building.

Both would work well with your Wednesday plans, as you’ll be in the general vicinity.

As others have said, please do see a show. Much better experience than Broadway, not to mention less expensive.

A football match sounds like a wonderful idea too.

The rest of your list is skippable.

Broadway is closer. I've enjoyed myself both on Broadway and West end.

The Uber boats are fun on their own, even if you’re just riding it to ride it .

I want to amend my list. It's great to see many of the other things on the list, but you can easily see them on the way from one thing to the next. London is pretty small. You will see the tower, big Ben, Trafalgar Square, shop windows. You can see them all in a morning if you do a hop on hop off buses. It's not that they are bad things to see, they just aren't really things you put on the list of things to do.

Also, if this is your young adult daughter, are you sure she wouldn't rather see the Tate and walk over the millenium bridge rather than go to the middle of nowhere for a harry potter "studio" tour?

My young adult daughter is more interested in the Harry Potter stuff than my teens. HP was SO big 15-20 years ago that it really defined her childhood and she was very very into it. My teens are sort of “meh” on HP—more into Percy Jackson or anime or whatever.

Also, on the Globe, if she’s a Shakespeare fan at all, I think it’s worth it especially if you can see a show. It’s just don’t so differently there — we saw a comedy and it was like a totally different thing than how it’s done in America. More raunchy, more playing to the rafters, more interactive.

But for a non Shakespeare fan, it might not be top of list.

For the British museum, I liked the rock Steve’s audio tour. There may be better ones but that one wasn’t bad. It was a 90 minute tour but I paused it a lot to look at other things as I went so took me more like 2 hours.

I assume she’ll want to ship also but I honestly don’t know where to suggest for that.
