It is huge and it is wonderful. There is a whole room filled only with decorative little snuff boxes. Another with silver tea pots, etc. We didn't get to see it all, but well worth the trip.

Seen Harrod's and Selfridges?

St. James Park to feed the birds?

Take a train out to near suburbs to see them? The train itself is fun.

I assume you've been out to Windsor Castle? Queen Mary's Dollhouse, the chapel and the main house. The village of Windsor.

If you wanted a day trip, go and see Stonehenge.

And if you could get up to York--a very cute old town with an ancient wall around it (that you can walk on), a museum, and a huge railroad museum if you like trains. Lots of interesting places to eat and shop. Remnants of the Vikings who first founded it.
