War Rooms:  http://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/churchill-war-rooms.  Much better than it sounds.

I was disappointed by the Imperial War Museum, but it's one of those have-to-say-you've-been there.

The Globe Theatre.  No one does Shakespeare like the English:  http://www.shakespearesglobe.com/

My order of preference:

Must see inside of Westminster Abbey.  It is amazing.  I can't believe that they let people in there.

British Museum.  Want to see the Rosetta Stone, the outside of the Parthenon, guardian statues from city walls in ancient Assyria, items that are 1000's of years old, and a million other jaw-dropping pieces of history?

The Tower of London.  William the Conqueror's castle beachhead.

The RAF Museum London (Hendon).  Has the world's last remaining Typhoon plus lots of other nifty WWII aircraft.

The Churchill War Rooms.  Where Churchill and the senior staff administered WWII, and where Churchill lived.

Also, in London, get fish and chips, an English breakfast, and a good curry.

London is awesome.

Go to to the North of England we still speak to each other and you will not need a Polish or Eritrean phrase book to order a coffee

Bruv is from down south I rest my case 

There is a big museum of weapons in Leeds.

Go to Hendon as suggested, you will not regret it.

Hendon is probably best for your interests and it's Free!  Think you can get the tube there also.

Enjoy Hendon.  I certainly did (2008).  The tube definitely runs to Hendon.  It's a relatively short walk from the station to the museum.

Everything I've read about the Leeds museum has placed it on my bucket list alongside Duxford.

The best part of our trip to Great Britain was to get out of London via a local train to Oxford via Reading (along the Thames).  We rode the 100 bus from Oxford to Witney via Eynsham.  We were engaged in conversation all along the route and had a marvelous dinner at the Fleece in Witney.  The English people are the attraction for us (even if it might be Zack).

Our favorite memory of the entire GB experience,

On our trip back to the UK last year we did the day out at the RAF Museum, Hendon. It is well worth it, also make time for a Tower of London tour. If you have time make the effort to get out of London after seeing the sights,you'll find a different country than what you experience in the city. We took the time to go to the west country taking in Stonehenge and Avebury before heading into Wales and going to Cardiff castle.

Not really my dad is footing the bill for the whole trip. I'm flying my step mother over to meet him. She will continue on to Turkey with him.
