If you are planning to stay in London for a day or more (pre or post-cruise),I recommend that you take a city tour to get a good overview and to visit some of the major attractions: Tower of London, Thames River cruise, Buckingham Palace, Royal Albert Hall, etc. As food is pricy in London, we have had fun eating at spaghetti houses, pubs & Chinese restaurants. There is a wonderful chain called “The Spaghetti House” and London’s China Town is near the West End. And of course there is nothing quite like British “fish & chips” and beer! Shopping at Harrod’s is fun but expensive; we usually hit the fabulous & famous Food Court there & purchase some English biscuits or such. Selfridge’s, however, is where I usually shop; it’s a wonderful British department store! The West End (London’s Theatre District) and Covent Garden (you will remember from “My Fair Lady” that Eliza sold flowers there) are really fun areas & are quite close together. If you are interested, there are online sources to purchase theatre tickets; let me know if you want information.
Taxis are expensive (but oh so cute!) so we usually take the Tube (London’s subway system) and get inexpensive day or “oyster” passes. It’s safe, quick, and clean.
