Overall

When we first decided to take a trip to London I felt a bit wary as it's such a big city. We had absolutely no plans other than to just get to London. Once there we first walked around, ended up at St Catherine's Wharf which is quite an experience in itself. You'd actually need more than one day to explore the city. We then decided to jump on a tourbus. You can get on the bus and get off at many places to walk around places that are of interest to you and then get back on the bus again to continue the journey. To see The Tower of London is quite an experience if you know the history of the place. The "Gherkin" is more or less like an eyesore and then again quite in the right place. I would have liked to go to Mme Tussauds but the queue was so long there was no point in standing in it and loose other opportunities. You'd have to stay there at least two days to see that as you have to get there early in the morning to be among the first ones it's so popular. The trip we took just scratched the surface so we'll definately be going back soonest possible. It's a wonderful city full of buzz.
