The very next morning we headed out to tour the city. The city is huge, and the metro is definitely the best way to get around (unless you're staying in the centre, where the prices are crazy). If you plan on doing a lot of sightseeing and visiting places, the London Pass is a great idea! Plus you can get it including the transportation. Its a little pricy, but you make your money back really fast.
We got to check out all the major sites again: Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, Buckingham... The city was just packed with people! As we were there over the week of the Royal Wedding, the whole city was in the centre.... absolutely ridiculous! One site you must check out is the St.Paul's Cathedral, where Lady Di was married. It is probably the most beautiful church we've seen in Europe!
London was not the best weather, but it didn't rain! It's a beautiful city, but just huge! It has 6 times the population of Paris - so crowded! Again, put your hiking boots on, because every tourist site there has stairs and once in the centre, it is much easier to walk everywhere or metro. To reach the top of Saint Paul's, 530 stairs, the top of the Monument, over 311.
There are also a million plays/musicals happening in London. If you go and walk around, you can find some for pretty cheap. We had the opportunity to go to Wicked, which was great!
