The museums in London are excellent. The British National has so many amazing artifacts, and if you're interested in Egypt and Assyrian history it's really impressive. Overall, it's an amazing collection from around the world. Want to see huge pieces of the Parthenon? They have them. How about some of the oldest and first statues of the Buddha? They also house those. Probably the best museum I've been to.

If you like art, the National Gallery is also excellent. Even if you're not huge into art there are pieces you'll know and artists you'll recognize. And, if modern art (ie more off the wall) is your interest, the Tate Modern is worth a visit. There are some exhibits there that cost, but a lot is free. Depending on when you're going, there's a Hilma af Klint exhibition there. She was probably the first abstract artist, but not widely recognized as such because art was so dominated by men. I've been under not insignificant pressure to get my wife there for that!

I would also recommend a show. Last summer I saw The Book of Mormon and of course that was awesome. I just love London and it's so awesome. If you're really lucky and schedules coincide, you could try to get tickets to the glorious Tottenham Hotspur football club! I'm sure that's who Winsor Pilates is yearning to see as well!
