There are great deals to be had from London Transport. You can buy a 3,5, or 7 day pass on the busses and underground, and they have discounts for families. I also recommend taking the Round London Sightseeing tour, which consists of a double-decker red bus that takes you to all the tourist attractions like Trafalger Square, the tower of London, Big Ben and the houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and St Paul's cathedral. If it's a nice day, some busses have open tops on the upper level--grab a seat up there for the best views. And you can get off the bus any time to explore a region you find interesting. Another great thing to do is take the boat down the Thames River. You can start at the tower and go down to Westminster, or start in Chelsea and go all the way to Hampton Court Palace (that takes some time) You can plan your own trip, just like on the Sightseeing tour.My favourite photo op: Walk across Westminster Bridge to the other side of the Thames River and take a picture of the Houses of Parliament reflecting in the water. I love this view--I try to arrive just as Big Ben is striking on the hour to complete the ambience.
