The Hard Rock Cafe - no doubt. You can also go down into the vault and see a bunch of famous guitars played by people like Hendrix and Bowie and Lennon.

London offers so much.. I really liked a short trip we made by train through the Docks, and ended up to Greenwich.. the contrast between the modern Docks and the old flavour of Greenwich village is impressive.

Campden Market in the North of London - they have EVERYTHING there... and the atmosphere is great. Take the Northern Line and get of at Campden.

Hi Licia,
Though there are many good places to visit in London, some of my top favorite include.
1.Big Ben and Houses of Parliament - You can see both these together.
2.Westminster Abbey - A historic site and the resting place of many famous people. You can find some good london rentals here as well.
3.London Eye - large Ferris observation wheel
4.The Tower of London - London's original royal fortress.
5.British Museum - There are many museums in London. If you are pressed for time, at least visit British Museum.
6.Trafalgar Square - located in the heart of London.
7.National Gallery - When you are in Trafalgar Square, you can visit this Gallery easily.
8.Buckingham Palace - Try to be there on time to see the Change of Guard.
9.Hampton Court Palace - There is a lot to see in this historic royal palace.
10. London Bridge - famous 19th century bridge across the Thames River.

Go to Greenwich and take the ferry up to London proper- you can get the Thames Clipper or the actual tourist ferry that tells you information.
Stroll through Greenwich park & market while you are there. Have a proper breakfast near the train station (can't think of the name of the place, but it is a green restaurant that makes the most delicious breakfast!)
Or go to Portobello Antiques Market in Kensington - extremely long market street full of stalls and amazing.
You can actually walk through all the parks of London as well. So let's say you tubed to Kensington, you can wander through Kensington Gardens, to Hyde Park to Green Park, crossing the street in front of Buckingham Palace, and into St. James Park - clearing the whole city seeing hardly any roads. It is beautiful. Tons of cool birds and fountains to see. Often buskers, etc going on in the parks. Highly recommend.

For a less touristy spot, take a walk around Canary Wharf, the new finance centre in London. Lot's of skyscrapers that makes the area look like a little Manhattan. Then take the DLR (electric train) and head to Greenwhich. You will pass the historical docks with lots of old wharehouses most of which have now been converted into designer apartments. The train is like a disneyland ride, as it passes so close to these buildings that you can see people typing at their desks!

Personal favourites include - walking round the Temple district (try and find the 'secret' exit/entrance through a building on Fleet Street) and visiting Temple Church (medieval church built by the Knights Templar), you could also check out Postmans Park. It's a small memorial park behind St Pauls Cathedral (between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. Near St Bartholomew's Hospital. It commemorates those that have tried to save others. The plaques make really interesting reading.

Speakers corner at Hyde Park. On Sundays there are usually some people going off a rant on a soap box, quite amusing.

Well those are not exactly unknown spots. My favorites are St Martins in the Fields on Trafalgar Square is a great eating place known among locals. It is cafeteria style in the crypts below the church. VERY affordable by London standards and a good cause as the proceeds go feed the homeless and train people in the restaurant field.
Leister Square
Hot Tap Theater
Camden Markets
Greenwich Markets and Park

London is tricky because it really depends what you like! The obvious ones: Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Southbank, Westminster Cathedral, Big Ben, Parliament, St. Pauls Cathedral... the list never ends.
Camden is a fun area - but, busy. There are some great parks (Hyde, Green, St. James, Regents) - though Regents Park gets my vote. Hampstead/Hampstead heath is lovely. If you like pubs, you'll find them on every corner, but an interesting one to check out is on Cannon Street, called The London Stone. Dungeon bar, bathrooms behind book cases, gargoyles...things like that.
Just purchase a travel card (this will allow you to use to tube, overground, and DLR all day, within London), pick a few areas, and when you come out of the tube, have a walk around. You are sure to see things that will interest you. Try Starting from Waterloo - walking along the Southbank to the Tower Bridge, cross the Tower Bridge, then tube from Tower Hill to Embankment. From Embankment, walk to Westminster where you see Big Ben - from there it's an easy walk through St. James Park to Buckingham Palace. Now walk north to Picadilly, and just walk east along the road. This will take you through Picadilly Circus and if you continue - towards Leicester Square. At Leicester Square, take the Northern Line up to Camden Town and have a wander through the Markets. It sounds more confusing than it is!
Also - if you plan to walk around - grab a London A-Z map book. Best there is!
