10 Downing St
10 Downing StreetThe residence of the Prime Minister of the UK, You can no longer go onto the street (for obvious reasons!) as it is gated off and under constant armed guard. You can, however, catch a glimpse of that famous door from Whitehall!
A short train ride out of London will bring you to Rochester in the Medway towns. A well preserved, historical town famed for it's annual Dickens festival . Cobbled streets, a castle and a cathedral make this a really nice day out.

Visit Greenwich park for another panoramic view over London, with views over the o2 and docklands. After dark you can see the laser from the observatory that marks where GMT begins.

Again, not strictly speaking London, but a short train ride from Victoria will take you to the quaint little seaside town of Brighton - one of my favourite places to spend a sunny day! Take a stroll along the pier, browse through the shops in town or just lounge on the pebble beach enjoying some fish and chips!
