My favorite thing to do with people that are visiting London! After visiting Greenwich Market and taking in Greenwich Park, One Tree Hill, and the Greenwich Observatory, grab a cheap ticket for the City Cruises boat to Westminster Pier. One of the very best ways to see Central London—on the mighty Thames River.
