   what to visit in London?
  I happen to be in London for some time and the easter holiday is a good opportunity to start exploring around. What would you recommend? Which places I shouldn't miss?   
  What sort of stuff are you looking for?Touristy / sightseeing places?Family activities?Romantic places?Tech related stuff?   ;  I'm interested in historical places, castles, strongholds, monuments, anything medieval related.   ;Quote:Original post by fnmI'm interested in historical places, castles, strongholds, monuments, anything medieval related.Then you're just looking for the standard tourist trail, no? The Tower, Houses of Parliament, Temple Church, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, etc. There are obviously lots of museums, too - the Imperial War Museum and Victoria and Albert (V&A) to name a couple of the big ones.Because London is such a big city, there are also easy transport connections to other places. Two examples: Bletchley Park and Cambridge.   ;  I guess the most obvious answer to that would be the Tower of London. I remember the Museum of London being interesting when I visited, but it looks like they're currently under redevelopment and so only have exhibits up to 1666.   ;  Don't forget the British Museum, the worlds largest collection of pinched relics.   ;  Book your tickets online, save time!Its not medieval related, but the London Eye is an intresting choice. It shouldn't be a priority though.   ;  This was very useful... I am planning a short holiday in th UK (London/Manchester areas) in a couple of months. I've been around Manchester/Altrincham/Chester areas twice before, but I've never been to London (yet...)Thanks for the ideas!   ;  one thing no one told me about when I went there was how interesting the Ripley's museum was   ;  You must go to the Science Museum! still as good as when I was 8. The natural history museum is also good, and both are doable in a day unlike the british museum and v&a
