Today, we got a late start and spent most of the day The Tower of London. We had to leave when it closed at 5:30 p.m. without seeing all of the grounds. We could spend another whole day there.
There's way too much history about the Tower of London that I won't replicate any here. Click on the link above for more info.
London Eye was one of the must-do activities for this trip. It was a great (but outrageously expensive) 1/2 hour activity. During the summer the line can be 1-2 hours long. Fortunately, we only had to wait 5 min. However, security did take my camping combo knife/spoon/fork. We also did the 4-D theater after the ride--basically a 5 min. 3-D ad for the London Eye with smoke and fake snow.
