x2 on RAF Hendon, although its a journey to get there. I really enjoyed the Royal Engineers Musuem in Rochester, too. Also a bit of a journey.

You can do as much or as little as you want. Good for Big Bus ride--Thames river cruise, all the sights --more than you can do in a week.


Not sure if I want the London Pass or the Oyster Travel card.

It's unlimited tube travel that's my priority, the standard tourist sites are low on the list as I've done most of them already. This trip will focus on military history.

When we went to Churchill's Bunker we bought a 2 for 1 thing for the HMS Belfast, which is docked in the Thames between the Tower Bridge and the London Bridge. The was a cool tour, really enjoyed it.

Make that the Tower of London, and be ready for a HUGE line trying to get in.
