@AmazonQueen Yes, We opted for a London pass without travel and will buy Oyster cards at Heathrow. Thanks.
Are there many CFCers close to London?

My London plans are shaping up and I will be there Oct 14-22 (I arrive the 13th and leave the 23rd). If there are any of you who live there and want to get together for a visit, let me know.
I have some stuff planned and am meeting friends from China so i will coordinate with them.

I wish You a pleasant trip and a great time while there 
Have fun on the Ferris Wheel, scaling the Big Ben or optionally blowing up the Parliament building with V - it's almost November ! 
oh and don't forget tasting a fine pint of ale ... oh and I recommend also trying Coleman's mustard ... and make a call from a red phone booth and avoid the blue phone booth - those are actually spaceships I think I've covered the essentials

My wife is going on holiday with her friends to Budapest then, so I must stay in Norfolk with the children.
Good luck!
Well-timed visit, you're here and gone just before the collapse begins. Have a good time.
I had ten great days in London. Weather was mixed showers, clouds, and sun. Nothing kept us from being outside. We spent most of our time doing all the touristy stuff and there is a quite a lot of that. 
I loved all of it. Every Brit I met or talked with was exceptionally nice and helpful as we struggled with their backward ways of doing things.
Among the places we saw: Westminster, the Tower, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace (outside), Hampton Court, Eton, Kennsington Palace, The Shard, St. Paul's, White Hall, the Queen's Swans, Greenwich, the Cutty Sark, Golden Hind, Windsor, British Museum, National Gallery, etc.
Our Air BNB London. We had a second floor, 2 BR apt on a quiet street. Mostly just slept there. The Oval underground station was close and a short subway ride across the Thames to central London.

From King's Cross it was off to Hogwart's

Glad you liked it
I lived for 14 years in London and really enjoyed the first year or two.

Out of all those places which did you enjoy the most?
all were interesting in their own way, but Hampton court probably comes out as tops if I had to choose. I'll post some pics of my visit and some notes on it.

Did You've tried Coleman's mustard ? xD
Westminster Abbey was interesting because of all the people buried there. Pictures aren't allowed in some parts, but.....Here's the High Alter and some tombs.
In a word: No. but we did have pancakes for breakfast multiple times at Bill's.
Here lies Sir Isaac Newton:

Oh my ! You're doing the gravity on poor Sir Isaac *makes a note not to have a flat tombstone*
yes, but, I'm sure he loved being trod upon by the cute lady in the fancy shoes!Oh my ! You're doing the gravity on poor Sir Isaac *makes a note not to have a flat tombstone*
Most of the floor of Westminster is tombstones.Oh my ! You're doing the gravity on poor Sir Isaac *makes a note not to have a flat tombstone*
They are everywhere and there is no avoiding them. To get a less trod upon location you need to be held in higher esteem.
