"From there it depends on who I'm with but you can't go wrong with the British Museum (Stop OA), the Victoria & Albert Museum, or the National Gallery which are all free to visit and top notch."  See More

"There's not a huge amount of free stuff around Wimbledon really - but if you are able to I'd definitely recommend going into the centre of London and visiting the museums there - Victoria & Albert Museum, Science Museum, Natural History Museum etc etc."  See More

"Also popular are Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum and Science Museum."  See More

"And there are always special exhibits at museums, on our last trip we saw a shoe exhibit at the Victoria & Albert Museum an art exhibit at the House of Illustration plus we had several others on the list that we didn't get to."  See More

"The Victoria & Albert Museum -good any age as is the Science Museum, and they are practically opposite each other."  See More

"Depending on the interests in your party, there loads of things to do, the museums are all fabulous and many are free, I always enjoy the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Museum of London, many people put the The British Museum on their must see list."  See More

"The National Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum for museums (stop by the V & A Cafe for scones and the view)."  See More

"I personally love the Victoria & Albert Museum which is largely decorative arts but many men may prefer not to go to that particular museum."  See More

"Stephanie, Given that you've never been to London before, here are my suggestions. Additionally, you're coming from the East Coast, so you'll probably be arriving in London in mid-to-early morning -- if you can manage to push through that first day without succumbing to jet lag, you'll feel great the rest of your trip. As an aside, this list is mostly cultivated from my own loves in London -- it's by no means definitive nor necessarily the most popular. Just places I love! :) Day 1 (Day of Arrival) Grab breakfast at Regency Cafe, a classic place for English Breakfast Wander around near Buckingham Palace, cross Westminster Bridge, and enjoy a coffee (and unique view) from 2 Love Tea & Coffee House (!"  See More

"For example if you like museums then you would need to visit the The Louvre and other museums in Paris, The British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg (Russia)"  See More

"Victoria & Albert Museum V&A Museum Cafe): The museum itself is cool and all, but I think you'd be just as happy if you only stopped by the beautiful cafe."  See More

"London covers a lot of area so group together sites in the same area to save travel time, like the Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern are close to each other; the Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum are across the street from each other; the London Eye is near the House Of Parliament and Big Ben."  See More

"This the area for museums the Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum"  See More

"Victoria & Albert Museum is also great museum focusing more on statues and architecture."  See More

"In terms of museums though, I think Victoria & Albert Museum is one of the best."  See More

"The Victoria & Albert Museum is also one of my Favourites with the Science Museum next door."  See More

"If you like art, I'd recommend the Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate Britain, and the Saatchi Gallery to start with - although there's literally hundreds that you can choose from!"  See More

"Make sure you check out the free places: National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, The British Museum, Tate Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum etc."  See More

"Lots of museums in London (such as the Victoria & Albert Museum and the National Gallery) offer this for free, providing the bag isn't too big (as in, a day pack, not a 3-month backpack)."  See More

"The The British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum museum are open late on Friday evenings, and the Tate Modern is open late both Friday and Saturday evenings."  See More

"I have taken 3 different people on their 1st trip to London in the last few years and while I try to tailor the trip to their particular likes, I have ended up seeing the Tower Of London, Portobello Market, the Victoria & Albert Museum and Harrods on all of the visits, Camden Market, Westminster Abbey and The British Museum on two of the visits."  See More

"I'm also a HUGE fan of the Victoria & Albert Museum."  See More

"All of the museums in London are interesting depending on the subject matter that you enjoy, my personal favorites are the Victoria & Albert Museum for decorative arts, the Museum of London and most people like to stop by the The British MuseumYou might have a look at Buckingham Palace which opens just in the summer for visitors and also Houses of Parliament which open in the summer as well for visitors."  See More

"My other favorite attraction is the Victoria & Albert Museum."  See More

"Make sure you check out the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, the Churchill War Rooms, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and see a show on at the West End."  See More

"Hi, Donna, Not sure what your interests are, but I just happened to be helping a friend who was going there with a group of many different ages and interests so see if any of these appeal to you! For mainstream attractions: Tower Of London don’t let the high admission fee discourage you from coming here. It’s an absolutely incredible experience that will give you a sense of history like almost no other place in London. If you can, send away for tickets to see the Ceremony of the Keys—it’s incredible. It’s a nighttime ceremony that’s been going on for 700 years and it’s not easy to get to see (the tickets go months in advance but try it anyway). Here’s the link to apply for tickets:>"  See More

"Many days can be spent wandering around the following all within a 15 minute walk of each other: the Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, the Royal College of Art and Royal Geographical Society on Kensington Gore are next to the Royal Albert Hall and have free events and exhibitions- continue your walk into the Hyde Park and the Serpentine Gallery in the park- dip your toes into the Diana Princess Of Wales Memorial Walk, and it is possible to swim on the south side of the Serpentine So bring a towel."  See More

"Victoria & Albert Museum is very cool (probably has the best gift shop in the region)."  See More

"Victoria & Albert Museum and area is a whole part of the city worth exploring as well, with various shops and restaurants."  See More

"Oh, yes, and there is Saint Paul's Cathedral, but I've never been in there :) 5) For scones, you could visit the Victoria & Albert Museum in South Kensington."  See More

"Oh, there are so many great ones in London!!! I'm envious that you get to see them for the first time!!! The history here is just insane and the museums are beyond incredible. Have a blast and try to check out as many of these as you can!!! Tower Of London –don’t let the high admission fee discourage you from coming here. It’s an absolutely incredible experience that will give you a sense of history like almost no other place in London. If you can, send away for tickets to see the Ceremony of the Keys. It’s a nighttime ceremony that’s been going on for 700 years and it’s not easy to get to see (the tickets go months in advance). Here’s the link to apply for tickets: >"  See More
