London Sightseeing - Westminster Abbey

There is of course much, much more to see in London. Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey (pictured above), Covent Gardens, the huge London parks.. And many areas of the Thames are great for walking or stroller-ing.

Take a self-guided walking tour, with the help of a guide-book; or sign up for an escorted Walking Tour. My son and I took one about Ghosts of London, led by a personable and enthusiastic guide. (If you have young kids and want to do a walking tour, be sure to verify what ages are allowed.)
