At the moment, I'm researching our trip.
I know they'll want to see all the main tourist stuff, and I'm trying to sort out a good tour for us to go on. I know I want to take them to Covent Garden too, but beyond that I really don't know what to do with them. It's going to be a Saturday too, which means London will be absolutely heaving.

What sort of age group are they? What kind of stuff are they into (in general)?
Things I'd love to do if I was traveling to london for a weekend, and don't get to go there very often
- Borough Market
- Harrods (and Hamleys if there are kids involved)
- Catching a theater show
- Seeing Buckingham Palace, maybe a picnick in Green Park... essspesh if they're having an open day.
- Portrat Gallery.
- One of the finer resturants, if money isn't an issue then somewhere owned by Ramsey Holdings. I *think* Ken Holme has a resturnat in london, if he has, then that'll be my first choice.
- Camden Market would be an eye-opener.

One's in her 40s, the other's mid 60s.
Neither has been to England before, and they will want to see the typical stuff. I'm thinking a duck boat tour, or one of those hop on hop off buses. You're right about Harrods. That will have to be on the list. They might want to go on the eye too, though I haven't looked into prices on that one.

Cool, if catching a show is on the cards (and it's not silly money if you don't mind what you see... on the day you just ask them what hasn't sold well and you'll be given a few. General rule of thumb is that if it's in the area, it'll be alright at worst
) then that'll be a good one to do. I'm not to sure about the duck-boat thing, but you can get on Transport For London a boat-ride that'll take you up'n'down the thames (well, part of it). If they're into culture, take a look at what's going on in the SouthBank, there is normally something good and it's right close to other things too.

we've only got a day in town, and I don't want to be completely rushed.
It may only be a tour for the main sights, then one or two specific places, and somewhere nice for lunch.
