stay away from madame tussauds absolutely shit, me and the mrs done a river cruise from westminster bridge to tower of london and went around the tower had a great couple of hours, you can get half price tickets for the river trip and tower of london when you book by train.check the train ticket website for details. what show you going to? we watched jersey boys and after a slow start it was brilliant(want to go again to watch it).

How's it going Cheggs!!

If you both like a bit of history, then get the open top bus trip. Sounds cheesy / touristy, but you learn loads you wouldn't have otherwise known about, and you can also spot places you fancy for food / drink as you go around. Make a note of anywhere that catches your eye.

Went to see the lion king a few years back, thought it was great.

Ripley's believe it or not is ok but expensive though, but then again everything in London is dear except for the museums.

If you are going on the London Eye it's worth pre booking the tickets online so you don't have to queue for ages.

Me and the wife have seen a few shows in London , Sister Act and Grease both were a really good night.

Have a good time what ever you decide.

The bus tour is always the best for information and to see the sights, if your mrs wants to go shopping Knightsbridge is the best and obviously harrods will be a must for her by far the best shop in the world IMO (and The most expensive!), Leicester square or Covent Garden has some quality restraunts and bars might be better off looking online and booking before you go though.
Have a good time. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
