The CSU Cougars had successful day against Aston Villa FC ladies 3:1. Daughter and Teamates have two days off in London and asked this old man for recommendations on what to see for first time colonial type visitors. Of course, I haven't lived in London for several decades. This was my first pass, what are your thoughts and recommendations? Thanks!
Day 1
1. Take a look at Buckingham Palace (from the outside and not interested in the changing of the guards)
2. Visit Westminster Abbey
3. Admire the Houses of Parliament (from the outside)
4. Admire Big Ben.
5. Admire No. 10 Downing Street. (If the road is not blocked off)
6. Walk up the side of St James's Park to Trafalgar Square through Admiralty Arch
7. Walk around Trafalgar Square
8. Walk to Picadilly Circus
9. Take the 15 bus to St. Paul's Cathedral.
Day 2
1. Tower of London.
2. The British Museum -even if just for a couple hours.
3. Harrods.
If it looks good, I can take a look at a map for bus and tube routes. Are you taking the train from Oxford into London or are you taking a private coach (bus)? It makes a difference as to where to start and how to get around.
