Gorgeous! What I would do : I would have my lunch in Kensington Gardens ( It must be beautiful at this time of the year) then I would attend the afternoon matinée at the Shakespeare Globe theatre seated in the 'wooden O' as audiences would have done 400 years ago. I love theatre.
I would spend a lot of time at the Tate Gallery: I love painting.
I would take the tube, just to have the opportunity to listen to English people, supposing there were any!: I love English.

London is far from being my favorite place in the UK….but then that’s just me: except Prague, I have a thing with capital cities. Unlike Jardin, I’ve seldom heard people talking in the Tube but only saw them sleeping or reading newspapers….I guess that’s the only moment when they can take a breather (besides, the underground trains are very often, if not always, overcrowded, and if you happen to drag 2 suitcases with you…you feel like you’re taking up the whole space in here!). A week end trip around London can prove to be very tiring; I must admit though that the city museums and galleries are worth a visit…all the more that it’s free entrance. I reckon it takes 3 days altogether to see all the collections exhibited at the famous British Museum. Its National Portrait gallery wing also has great paintings to marvel at (I was very delighted to see those works of art that I had studied during my high school years). Finally, I think I’ll spend some time in the open-market at Camden Town where you can find pretty cheap stuffs and can choose from a wide range of shoes!! With all the shoe stores there, you’ll definitely find one pair that matches your needs!
See you soon.

Hello,
If I spent a week end in London, I would go to Hyde Park, St James Park, Madam Tussaud's, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, some shops and stores, and to a marvellous little pub where you can meet people who tell you about their whole life within 10 minutes !
Have a nice week end,
see you soon

Hello
If I could spend a week-end in London, I woulk like to go again to see Kew gardens and the area of Bayswater.
Have you seen London by boat on the Thames and do you know Greenwich not far from London ? A lot of sightseeings and impressions.
