Interesting history and of course the crown jewels. Be sure to visit those early in the day before the queue! There are some good views to be seen from the walls too. The Royal Observatory was a bit chaotic, a bit of research beforehand will ensure you get the best out of it. Some bits are free to wander and some bits you have to pay to get in. The observatory buildings and meridian courtyard require a fee to get in but there is no cafe inside. There are plenty of cafes round and about though so timing is everything ;-) I have been in the Houses of Parliament and that is like stepping into an alternative reality!! I also recommend The British Museum and the V&A. With both of those you need to choose the sections that interest you the most because there is so much to see... It is not possible to see all of London ;-) I recommend visiting the tower. Interesting history and of course the crown jewels. Be sure to visit those early in the day before the queue!

Never been to the observatory either Nor into the Houses of Parliament I feel a trip to London beckoning, perhaps Have been to some places - Post office tower, Thames boat trip, up the London Eye, Hyde Park, Science and Natural History museums, MacDonalds in Oxford Street... I thought I'd seen it all :) I have never been to the Tower, and I think I should go before I get sent…
