    Sights in London. Help me find them!

    I'll go there in April.
    I've been there once last year and I (think, I) know I about the main sights there like Big Ben, Tower and these historical places.
    Can you suggest any other good places? Even a small, hidden place which is worth to see... I go for a week, so I'll have time.
    Thanks!

    One good suggestion I can give you is try to search the Google Earth, they have all sorts of highlights there now with galleries and everything. Its very amuzing and you can find a lot of hidden places imo..

        It all depends what sort of interests you have because London has a ton of things to see. I really recommend taking one of the open topped bus tours. They are a very good way of getting an idea of how the city is laid out and also they will point out places that might interest you. The tickets are good for 24 hours and you get get off and get on so they are a good bet.

        Most people these days like to try to get on the London Eye - the big wheel.

              Buy your tickets ahead of time online..otherwise huge wait.

              I went with a London webmaster meet up group and I thought it was going to bother me but it didn't bother me at all.

                  Ok, I'll try that bus tour, thanks!

                  Another question... Do you know any stores where I can buy some dark stuff (rings,necklaces...)
                  I mean, like these:

                  It would be important for a friend of mine.

                      The markets are always my favorite places.

                      Brick Lane, Camden, Ridley Road etc.

                      As you are from E Europe you wont find many bargains but its always a great buzz....

                          I agree with Camden being a good destination to explore.

                          Also want to recommend the Old Globe - Shakespeare's theater tour located on the river Thames (rebuilt on same site as original). You really get an entertaining history lesson. Also check out London Theatres, lots of great shows at bargain prices when you go to the ticket kiosk offering same day tickets for 1/2 off.

                          Have fun!
