What i did in London
Visit the Big Ben, take a peek at Thames River, went to Westminister Abbey
These are within walking distance so you can just go to these location together, and if you are not planning to go up to the London Eye, you can satisfy yourself with a photo across the Thames from where Big Ben is. : )
Visit Buckingham Palace, take a walk through Hyde Park
Catch a halfprice musical!
For me, I chose to watch a classic - Les miserables! It is money very well spent! We were about 8 rows away and we paid only 30 pounds or so. The set was fantastic, the cast was fantastic, it was a truly worldclass experience. and strangely, if u want to catch other broadway shows like Jersey boys or Avenue Q, you wont be able to get halfprice tickets though.
To purchase tickets, go to the official ticket booth (TKTS) at Leceister square on the same day u want to catch the show. Reach there before 2pm and you will get a good enough seat.

Visit Harrods! One of the world's grandest shopping place, touted to have everything u want. It's quite amazing and big.
Shopping at Marble Arch
Primark primark primark... we visited one in Manchester, and we can't help spending another 3 hours inside the store. A nice suit costs only 25 pounds, leather gloves from 4 pounds onwards.. It is really a shopping haven i swear!
Things i missed out on
Camden Market
Portobello market
and a lot more...
not that it's not worth going, i simply don't have the time. Hopefully i will be able to come back to London one day......
One more thing, i know it sounds strange but please please please go try the chinese duck rice at Bayswater, just walk around the street after exiting from Bayswater. (think there are 2 chinese stores serving and i heard both are as good, the Singapore Airlines Crew swear by this). The duck meat are succulent, tender, the most wonderful duck meat i ever tasted. Ok, only Beijing's Quan Ji De's peking duck surpass this. And i'm not even a duck meat lover!
I just googled and found that there's like 4 chinese restaurant selling this along the street. If i remember correctly, it's the 2nd store u see after alighting from Bayswater.
