[quote=Anonymous]I would add St. Pauls cathedral (which is walkable either to Tower of London or to the Millennium footbridge over the Thames).  The London Eye is nice but I don't think it's a must see (if you are ok with stairs, you can get a good view from St. Pauls too).

There are hop on hop off buses (as well as taxis and underground).  The nice thing about traveling above ground is that you will get to see lots of the city-- you might drive past Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square,  and Piccadilly Circus for example and arguably that's all you really need for those.  The downside is that traffic can be a pain and it can take a long time to go from one side of the city to another.

If you want to do tea, there are lots of options, from tea on a boat that sails the Thames to tea at the Ritz.  A decent middle ground is the Orangerie near Kensington Palace.

If you have extra time, you could check out the Tate Modern, or try shopping at Harrods (esp. the food court-- you can get a pretty good dinner that way).

I would think carefully about trying to add in Paris-- you'll lose a good chunk of one of your days in transit (more obviously if your return flight is from London) and there's plenty to see in London, but that's obviously a personal choice.[/quote]
