I'll book a Southern train to get me to Victoria station, where I'll probably store my luggage in the left luggage office in Victoria Coach Station. From there I want to walk to Buckingham Palace and back. I'm guessing it'll be around 11am, with the time it takes to go through immigration and train and all. From here I'll go to Westminster where I'll see Big Ben. I want to know how I should go forth from here on out. I want to see the London Bridge, and I also want to go on either the Shard or the London Eye. Will I have time to do this before picking my bags up and heading to LHR for my 9pm flight via Picadilly tube line? Around what time should I be at the airport?
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
There's nothing to see at London Bridge, which is just a nondescript modern bridge. You're probably thinking of Tower Bridge. It's near the Tower of London, which houses the crown jewels and is well worth visiting for its many fascinating displays.
