12 hours in london and I do that following.
1. Go to the National Gallery and stare at paintings
2. Traditional English breakfast with tea
3. Walk to buckingham palace, trafalgar square, picadilly circus, and leicester square
4. Fish and chips with a pint of beer
5. Tea at Fortnum and Mason
Generally be amazed by how beautiful, efficient and stylish everything just feels in London.
The latter part actually amazes me the most. London is expensive. But to make up for it the food tastes fresher, the buildings look cleaner. The employees seem nicer and less disgruntled. The airport checkin, security services and customs is automated and streamlined so I'm not dying going through all sorts of lines. I'm actually sort of happy to be spending my last few hours in London between primitive JFK/LGA/ORD as opposed to going straight to the chaos of India.
Might as well enjoy it I guess. Sigh, will miss the order and comfort... now if only I could live in London for a bit...
