When I started planning my trip to Scotland I decided to add a stopover in London to give my family a taste of this fantastic city.  Our stop in London was for less than 36 hrs. and to be fair that is not nearly enough time to see all this city has to offer. You can probably spend a full year in London and not see it all.  However I needed to maximize my time and give my family a perfect London day.  If like me you are short on time and find yourself in this incredible city here is a list of ideas to help you plan your perfect one day in London.
