There are loads of cool and interesting museums in London, if that's something you're interested in. The Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and V&A are all right next to one another and cater for most interests. If you prefer quirkier stuff, the Hunterian Museum is cool, and I always recommend the Wellcome Collection as a place to go that is surprisingly unknown considering how good it is. You can also do a lot of drinking and gigging if that's what you're into. The obvious places like Camden have lots going on, or you can head out of Central a bit towards Hackney or Dalston if you want to get a feel for other, less touristy places. It really depends what you want from your trip, after all it's a capital city and there will be lots to choose from. Walking along the Thames through Central can be a pretty cool experience, and the city is very pretty at night from the water.

mojo1701a posted:Speaking of transportation, is it worth buying a visitor's Oyster card and having them ship it to me in Canada (or even to my family in Poland) or just buying a regular one there as I show up? Seems like they mostly just offer some discounts to tourist traps. I wouldn't bother getting one shipped over - you can buy them from a station's ticket offices or just at a ticket machine. There is a £5 deposit that you can get back when you hand the Oyster in at the end of your trip. If you're only in London for 11 hours I would suggest just putting £10 on there and making sure to get whatever's left and the deposit back just before you leave.
