Imperial War Museum

This is an unexpected wealth of history and experience. When I was ready to leave, my wife pointed out other lower rooms I missed, such as the trench experience. Plan on two hours minimum.

Grant Museum

I love this quirky little university museum. It's only open in the afternoon on weekdays but I try to stop by regularly as I always find a specimen I'd not noticed before. It's a museum of zoology and Robert Grant, the founder, was Charles Darwin's mentor! There's info about the Grant Museum on this website: http://golondon.about.com/od/londonmuseums/p/grantmuseum.htm

Strolling along the South Bank

I think a walk along the South Bank is one of the best things to do in London. You see lots of iconic sights in a really short stretch. And it's along the River Thames which makes it not feel as if you're in the city center. A brilliant free attraction!
