An affordable treat. Check Groupon - they have frequent special offers. CHECK online for gendered hours - there are some couples sessions, but mostly the spa is men only or women only. (Note: I have called and left a message asking them about their policy regarding gender-non-binary and trans* individuals, I'm waiting for their reply).

London's iconic ferris wheel, for views across the city. Quite expensive, but for many a tourist must.
One of the nicest of the "big sights" in London, in our opinion. If you're okay with lots of stairs, climb up to the whispering gallery and the dome for views over London. Look out for a very very small window in the floor just below dome level. You can look through it right down to the main cathedral space.

A historical prison for enemies of the state (including rivals to the monarch of the day) with a rather grim museum (but also the crown jewels, if you're into that sort of thing). Ticketed entry.

The Houses of Parliament - where Britain's public services are being sold off one by one. Our prime minister once had sex with a dead pig, but we don't mind because he's rich and he's friends with the man who owns most of our newspapers.

Parks & Nature

London's biggest park, with swimming ponds, a stately home, and loads of space to walk around. Bring a picnic and water - there are no shops on the Heath.

One of London's iconic parks, and home to London Zoo. Good for picnics and dog-spotting, big enough for ball games.
