[quote=Anonymous]London is wonderful and it all depends on what you want to do and what your interests are.  A few suggestions off the beaten path:

London Transit Museum does walking tours of the closed/abandoned underground stations.  We did one and my 15-year old loved it because of the history and the mystery element in it. If Baker St tour is still running, do that!

There are monthly, I believe, tours that bring you INSIDE the Big Ben at the precise moment when the clock strikes. These have to be booked way ahead of time , and if the stars align, that's worth it.

Look into the London Walks. These are 2-hr tours done by legit historian guides and you learn so much!

I notice you don't have St Paul on your list. Definitely do that and do climb the stairs to the very top!

In Kensington there is a small house museum called The Leighton House. Beautiful collection of oriental furniture and turquoise Syrian/Turkish tiles.

Portobello Rd market is worth a visit.

Chislehurst Caves in Bromley area of London are fun!

If you like history, consider a day trip to Bletchley Park, the headquarters of the codebreaking team during WW2 that intercepted German communications. [/quote]
