Re: Recommend some things to do in London?
Definitely the Science & Natural History museums. Tower Bridge isn't bad. The Eye is quite good, but only on a clear day.
I could give you a long list of good pubs

Re: Recommend some things to do in London?
As strange as it may sound if your a general petrol head, not just motorcycles.............go for a look around some of the big hotel underground car parks and canary wharf underground car parks.
Works has taken me to these places a few times.........AMAZING best in winter when all the arabs have gone home for winter as all the cars are tucked away for the winter.

Re: Recommend some things to do in London?
In no particular order:
RAF Museum, Hendon. Kew Gardens. Kew Bridge Steam Museum. Crossness Pumping Station. Waterlow Park. View of London from Parliament Hill, (I do this often and never get bored of it), or Alexandra Palace. Hampstead Pubs, (the right ones). Kenwood House. Sir John Soanes Museum. Science Museum.

Re: Recommend some things to do in London?
Cheers folks- I'd already left by the time I saw most of these due to my awesome organisational skills, but in the end I spent aaaaages in the science museum, and did a lot of walking about, as well as visits to the cultural highspots of Brixton Academy and the Enterprise in Chalk Farm
