It's a big place, be more specific

Location, interests, time limit.

I'd reccomend the District line from 7.30 - 9, followed by the Northern line. Get off at Tottenham Court road and have a nice quiet walk down Oxford street.

If it's a Saturday I'd definately recommend a stroll down Ocford street, very relaxing.

Then a Central Line train up to Liverpool Street at lunchtime? Top fun

I have seen people mention this a few times on here before - and heard very mixed things about it?! I work near by and I know never to judge a book by its cover but it doesn't really look or sound like anything special? Is it really worth a visit? It just looks like a budget indian resaurant where they turn covers over very quickly

Go to St Pauls cathedral, into the crypt and pay your respects at the tomb of Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson

Afterwards have a red meat lunch at the Paternoster chophouse lick

I'd far rather stroll along Chancery Lane and around Lincolns Inn than any of the shopping areas.

Go fencing?

See how far you can run in 8.14 minutes?

Buy a dog?

Hire a JCB?

Visit a sex shop in Soho?

Then one of the many brothels?

Rescue a failing business?

Jump on the Circle Line and time how long it takes to go all the way round, then divide it by the number of stations?

Do the same in the opposite direction and compare it?

Climb a tree?

Go to Speakers Corner and tell everyone about your cat, Gerald?

Have a bath in the Thames?

Count the squirrels in Regents Park?

Knock on a famous persons door and ask for money?
