In Pauline Frommer's London, we list the iconic sights as being:</p> <p>Westminster Abbey</p> <p>St Paul's Cathedral</p> <p>The Tower of London</p> <p>Houses of Parliament</p> <p>The Tate Modern</p> <p>The Tate Britain</p> <p>The National Gallery</p> <p>The London Eye</p> <p>The British Museum</p> <p>The Victoria and Albert</p> <p>But truthfully, you could have just as meaningful an experience visiting the British Library, the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms (an extraordinary museum), or the Foundling Museum. Read&nbsp;your guidebook&nbsp;and see&nbsp;which experiences most appeal to you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Have a wonderful time. London is one of the most fascinating destinations on the planet and you won't run out of things to see and do.</p> <p>Pauline Frommer<br /> &nbsp;</p> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:58:00 EDT <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 14.4pt"><span style="font-size: x-small"><span style="font-family: Arial"><i><span style="color: black">Hi guys, </span></i></span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 14.4pt"><span style="font-size: x-small"><span style="font-family: Arial"><i>&nbsp;</i></span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 14.4pt"><span style="font-size: x-small"><span style="font-family: Arial"><i><span style="color: black">I'm a fan from the UK, I can listen to the show via my </span><span style="color: black">internet radio</span><span style="color: black">, from 5pm - 7pm UK time on Sunday.</span></i></span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 14.4pt"><span style="font-size: x-small"><span style="font-family: Arial"><i><span style="color: black">You have the best travel show I have listened to so far.</span></i></span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 14.4pt"><span style="font-size: x-small"><span style="font-family: Arial"><i><span style="color: black"><br /> Anyway now for my question, a US friend and I have been invited to a wedding in </span><span style="color: black">Cuba</span><span style="color: black"> in March next year.
