Hi!
I will be travelling to London in a few weeks. Can anyone recommend off the track places to visit. Any suggestion is welcomed!

Hi Sabrina! I think London is so exciting! I have never been there but I've always dreamed about it. I've seen so many pictures, and movies. Some of the places you can visit are: Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey (These are "must"), Picadilly Circus, Hyde Park, London Bridge and the new Millennium wheel (I think that's how they call it).
Have a very nice trip! Enjoy it!!!

For your first visit to London, it may be a good idea to take the
"Sightseeing hop on & hop off" bus tour.
It stops at all the famous sites. You can go and visit those places for as long as you like and then take the next bus again.
My wife recommends :
The British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Piccadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace. And most of all afternoon tea at Harrods .

-In London, I wouldn't recommend "off the track" places, but there are many parks where you can stroll at leisure.

There is also an excellent underground.

Hi Sabrina! How nice. London is such a beautiful city!!! I love it!

It really depends how long you¡re planning to stay, I also recommend -as Frank's wife the "Sightseeing hop on & hop off" bus tour... it's an excellent idea!
You can't miss:
-The British Museum
-The wax museum
-and I loved The Tower of London... so full of history

If you have the chance, don't miss a tour to a casstle... for example, Hampton Court...

Hope you enjoy it Sabrina... from the bottom of my heart
