Oxford, Stratford and Warwick Castle.
Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover.
Lake District Day trip.(I suggest to take a min. 3 day tour)
Few trip ideas which are out of London which you can plan to cover in three to four days.
Lake District :-
A wonderful scenic place.You will feel you are inn Heaven.Its situated in North west England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains. You can take an tour packages, or if you wish to go on your own there is Virgin trains that daily goes to Oxenholm Lake district.This is the stop for lake district.All trains which goes to Edinburgh and Glasgow stops here.Its 2 stops before Glasgow and Edinburgh.Dont miss this place.
Scotland
Four to six days is the maximum you require for Scotland trip.They are several package tours from London.Depending on the days you prefer you can select any of the tour packages.You will cover Glasgow,City of Edinburgh, Loch Ness etc.
Paris
Plan well in advance for a Paris trip.You can go on a weekend too.it takes just three hours to reach Paris from London.Make sure you take the required Visa depending on your nationality. Highlights are Eiffel Tower, Disneyland and a take a boat ride on the River Seine River.
Tips:-
1. If you plan your London trip during summer you have many sports events happening.Few of them are Golf championship,horse racing,Wimbledon championship,Silverstone (car racing).If you are any of these favorite games dont miss the opportunity.I had been to Wimbledon 2010,had wonderful experience.If you book tickets online they are too costly.Just go by evening to Wimbledon and you might have to stand in the Queue for maximum an hour and you get the tickets to enter. You get tickets for less than 15 pounds.People sleep there overnight and Queue up early in the morning and stand the whole day for tickets.So i suggest you to go after 5 in the evening and that will do your job.If you are going by train you need to catch a tube from earl's court and get down at Southfields station which 2 stations before Wimbledon Station.
2.Search for offers and coupon codes in internet before booking any tickets online.You will get much cheaper rates when you book online.
3.Pick and Drop to Heathrow Airport - You have hotel pick ups and drop facilities to and from heathrow airport with much cheaper rates.Its less than half the price that you give to taxi.Here is the link that you need to check for it, http://www.heathrowshuttle.com/
4.Best place for shopping is oxford street,99p stores, all high streets ,specially look for Primark in all high streets.You get everything in a very reasonable price.Also check for sunday markets near your area and you get toy stuffs and electronic items in a cheaper rates.
5.For all cosmetic items, body and both products Superdrug store is the best one.It has lots of branches in all important areas.
Well i hope i have covered all major useful tips and information.Hope everybody get a vague idea of what to expect and how to plan your stay in London.
Have a great Holiday ;-)
