God save the queen.

A must see the the Churchill War Rooms.

If you are interested in a day trip go to Hampton Court (seat of the Tutor Monarchs such as King Henry VIII) or St. Albans which has a beautiful cathedral.

And did most of the touristy things. But we may check out Hampton Court again. Probably going to visit Windsor Castle & Buckingham Palace--I think the Queen's Gallery is open to the public. .

If you get a chance under the London bridge is a great food court. A lot of different types of foods. And local delicacies.
