My parents are in London this week - suggestions?

[Hi-C]

Anything I can pass along to them that might be good to check out? They are staying in the Kensington District. They visited the Imperial War Museum yesterday only to find it closed until July. Thanks in advance!

Hyde Park / Kensington Gardens are nearby. British Museum in Bloomsbury / Holborn and also worth a look while in that area are the Inns of Court: Lincoln's Inn, Grays Inn and the Temple.

Touristy must-sees: Parliament Square & Westminster Abbey, Whitehall & Trafalgar Square, with theatreland to the north and west. Transport Museum and restaurants / fancy shopping in and around Covent Garden.

Walks along the banks of the Thames

Further north, Regents Park with Zoo and Primrose Hill for fine views.

Further east, The City, St Paul's Cathedral, Museum of London, Tower Bridge, Tower of London.

Suitably British/touristy.

It's the gem of the north!

There are many other great museums to see. The Museum of London, the Natural History, the Victoria and Albert, The British, The Geological, The Tate, etc, etc.

The Soanes museum which is just a massive cabinet of curiosities also has Hogarth's Rakes Progress, a white gloved flunkie even talks you through it!

[Ashberto]

At least it has a cathedral though.
