I've never been in the Tower or the London Eye, because they are both soooo expensive. Maybe one day, when I'm rich.
Shame you didn't get to go inside Westminster Abbey, it's really worth it. That, and/or St. Paul's Cathedral. There's just so much yet to see in London. Want some tips? Sure you do. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, just across the river from St Paul's Cathedral. You'll get to walk across the newest bridge over the Thames, too, the inspiredly named Millennium Bridge (guess in what year it was built?). Also quite near St. Paul's, in a westerly direction ( I don't recall the name of the street... it's something Hill): the Eerie Pub. Great place to have lunch or dinner, complete with paintings with moving eyes, gloomy waiters and disturbing noises from the toilet bowls. London Zoo in Regent's Park is quite nice, as well. And near that is Baker Street, with a great Beatles Store, if you're into that sort of thing. The British Museum, and I could go on and on for days on end, blathering and blathering... But I won't.
