London is humongous. It was the only city where I paid for the tour bus. And TBQH, still thought it was a rip-off. With 10 days, you should be able to accomplish most stuff on your own, armed with a frommers. Read it on the plane and study a tourist map when you get there. The tube is unbelievable. You can get pretty much anywhere worth going on the tube.
My best advice when checking out any european city is a good pair of walking shoes. You'll see the most stuff and its cheap! Keep a tourist map in your pocket and every time you're a bit lost or bored, stop at a pub for a pint, slap the map down on your table and figure out where you are and where you want to go. Best way to explore Europe, IMHO.
