If you are a first time visitor to London, I'd highly recomend taking one of the double decker bus tours. While it may seem cheesy and touristy, it is an excellent way to get an overall sense of the city, plus mark off major sights you'd like to come back to. Plus, the tour we took allowed us to buy tickets to the Tower of London on the bus and skip the lines at the gate (plus I believe it was at a discount).Taking the bus tour was great. We had litterally just gotten off the plane with just enough time to check into the hostel and grab a bite to eat. Even as weary, exhausted, jet lagged travelers we found the guide funny and informative. Sit in the top if possible, but remember to dress appropriately.
