I went up the Shard and think it is overpriced and would not recommend it.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, it's not cheap at £25.

A trip up the river to the Tower, Burlington Arcade, Westminster, The Albert Hall.

Will give the Shard a miss then

If doing tower of London and Greenwich go between by Thames Clipper.

Up the Monument, walk from there over London Bridge towards Southwark, duck into Borough Market (watch yer pockets), carry on down the road and have a pint in the George Inn, the last coaching inn left in London. Wander back to the river and get the boat to Greenwich - all the green open spaces with views over London, museums and the queen's House if you like, and Greenwich Market for some proper food and atmosphere. Back into the centre by walking under the river through the tunnel near the Cutty Sark to Island Gardens, then the Jubilee Line to civilisation.

I'm told that you can go up The Shard for free. Go to the bar on the 32nd floor and have a glass of house wine, (about £4.50), and enjoy the great views.
Haven't actually tried this, but worth a shot??

Pope

Sorry ignore last post.

Buckingham Palace, Regent Street/Oxford Street, Brick Lane for food, Camden Market

Really depends who's going, tamaris, and what their interests are!

I will be going alone

[Arrods]

If your visit takes you to the 'square mile' take in the Bank of England museum (feel how much a gold bar weighs) but more importantly go to the Guildhall Art Gallery (not so much for the art) but for the remains of a Roman amphitheatre hidden in the basement. The outline of its original size can be seen in the courtyard at ground level. I think entry is free; it was certainly free on Fridays when I worked in the City.

[joggerjayne]

If you can get a glass of wine for £4.50 in London, it's worth going up the Shard!

A glass of wine in a pub here is about £8.00

Lol at JJ

It`s only a 125ml glass of wine though, and it`s Portuguese... The decent stuff is £9 for 125 ml. Still cheaper than paying to go up to the top though.

Camden Market
British Museum
V & A Museum
Borough Market
Walk along the river at night
Royal Observatory

Have a treat in Harrods ice cream parlour.

All free except the Royal Observatory and Harrods ice cream (which is eye wateringly expensive but such a lovely treat)

Forgot about London Docklands Museum and then a wander around after.
