The tour of the Abbey is not only fascinating, but the only way to see the whole church, and is definitely worth it. You won't believe the sheer number of famous names on the tomb markers, so keep staring down at the floor. The small museum with the wax effigies is properly creepy! Have a snack while sitting in the peaceful cloisters before you head back out into the crazy traffic.

These cruises are a fun way to travel from one end to the other of London. PIck one up at the Westminster Pier and take it to Tower Bridge. The view is wonderful along the way, much nicer than being down in the tube!

This museum is in a beautiful but forbidding former mental hospital in Lambeth, which was once known as "Bedlam". It houses a vast collection of items all relating to history of Britain at war. From airplanes to tanks to missiles to fine art and photography, it is highly informative, and not just for boys. There are special exhibitions, besides the permanent collection, offering something of interest to all. Recent exhibits have included: 1940 House, The Spanish Civil War, and Voices from Korea. Also be sure to see the Holocaust Museum. Kid's will love the Blitz Experience, and the Trench, bringing the days of WW2 to life.

Things To Do: Albert Memorial

This memorial to Queen Victoria's great love has to be one of the most outrageous tributes in the world. Known for her style and eye, she was a bastion of good taste and design (as evidenced in the V & A Museum). Standing in the park looking up at this, one can only say "What the....?" Marble statuary, tilework, neogothic spires, painted fence, and on and on. The Queen fought tooth and nail to get her late husband's likeness drenched in gold. The effect could blind you on a sunny day. I absolutely love this memorial, in all its excessive detail - it should not be missed!
