I always enjoy looking around the National Gallery - Free entry
As you leave the gallery main entrance, straight ahead you can see the impressive ‘big ben’ clock.
Then you have the London Eye to the left and usually there is an Aircraft passing through the sky having recently left Heathrow Airport... Love it :)
