Pointers from our London Global Explorer, L. Szollos:
The London Eye:
(Like a ferris wheel, but much bigger and slower)
Located on the South Bank in London, it is quite new and a great view!
There is also a new pedestrian bridge called the Millennium Bridge, which goes from the north to the south side of the Thames river - great to walk across.
OUTSIDE OF LONDON
* Daytrips to Cambridge and Oxford are nice.
* For a few days, you could head to the Cotswolds, which are charming little English country village, or to the New Forest.
* For a few more days, a nice trip is to Cornwall, which is beautiful.
