Fantastic tour, thank you so much. You have a true eye for beauty and interest in every shot! You look like you've done most of the big names.

If ever you come for a third time lucky you must do, in no particular order, some new options for your delectation, if not already done:

1. Brick Lane market (Sunday)

2. Borough Market for food (touristy) or Maltby St Market not too far (also great food, much less touristy)

3. Greenwich, notably the view from the GMT/ Observatory hilltop

4. Regents Park/ Holland Park/ Battersea Park

5. Richmond riverside

6. Climb to the top of St Paul's Cathedral

7. Tate Modern

8. Natural History Museum (free, 80 million specimens - avoid school holidays and weekends)

9. V&A Museum (free, 4 million pieces of art)

10. walk the South Bank

11. Windsor Castle (daytrip, only worth it if the State Apartments are open, dont forget to check out the riverside and Eton village across the river)

12. Harrods (specifically the food halls)

13. Dishoom Indian restaurant

14. Westfield megamall (the one in the west @ Shepherds Bush) for people watching, and to see real Londoners at play from every level

15. Peckham's Bussey building and Peckham Levels

16. Canary Wharf and Wood Wharf

Also do carry on exploring Chelsea (London's de facto Old Town), St James' (where the old money hangs out) and The City, where old meets new.
