<p>When my friend from America came to stay with me she loved the Duck Tour. It’s a sightseeing tour around London but then it is also a river tour! It was funny to see the shock on my friends face when the tour bus drove right into the Thames! I hadn’t told her about the river tour part :-)</p>
<p>My favourite place is Covent Garden, plenty to do around there, and lots of unusual shops and craft stalls a lot of times they’ll have street performers not sure if there still now though as schools have gone back. </p>
<p>And also I would get a weeks travelcard this can be used on buses or the tube. I think for all zones its around $75 for the week. </p>
<p>And like everyone has said definately go to the museums mostly all free some will have certain exhibitions that cost money. My favourites are the tate modern, imperial war museum and natural history museum.</p>
<p>Covent garden has crowds and street performers all year, even in the middle of the night. I think there is a different market every day of the week.</p>
<p>My D and I spent a week in London when she was 13 (I had a meeting there) and we used the TKTS to get tickets to four shows. It was great. And cheap. We had front row seats at Blood Brothers - If you haven’t seen it, that is a play that you have to see IN LONDON, it is just not the same to see it somewhere else.</p>
<p>The cheesy touristy double decker bus tours are a perfect and not expensive way to see everything a tourist would want to see.</p>
<p>You can save money and valuable sight-seeing time by buying food for quick lunchs at department stores and eating outdoors, people watching. They have, like, deli’s. Sandwiches and drinks and plastic utensils and napkins. If you happen to be near Harrod’s at lunch time, a take-out gourmet feast.</p>
<p>The subway is very very easy to handle.</p>
<p>The traffic is unbearable.</p>
<p>We took a one-day bus tour to Stonehenge and Bath. My recollection is that it was not very expensive and it was amazing.</p>
<p>If you are interested in languages, you have to see the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum.</p>
<p>Yes, definitely the on and off bus, and take notes of where you’d like to go back for a longer visit, this bus tour is a good investment.</p>

<p>Is a great resource and secondary addiction to CC. Lots of info to find there on travel cards, distances from place to place, how much is doable in one day, etc.</p>
<p>You can make the most of the 24-hour touristy bus tour by starting at 1:30 (after lunch) the first day and ending at 1:30 (before lunch) the second day.</p>
