The London Eye is a must. You have to do one or two touristy things if you are visiting for the first time. The eye is almost as identifiable to London as the Elizabeth tower ( Big Ben). You gotta go on it once to say you've done it. Book the first time slot and you wont wait on any lines and its not overly crowded.

Harrods security is sometimes rude at the entrance. They simple don't like tourists who are not interested to spent a lot of money inside the department store. I am visiting Harrods only for checking what I will order from internet much cheaper. I haven't visited Sherlock Holmes museum but the nearby Sherlock Holme museum shop was nice. During summer and especially during June the sunrise is very early at 4 AM and very early the morning the London roads including Abbey road have very few vehicles. Best hour for London eye no matter how long is the waiting, is during sunset. If you like photography the gondolas of London eye are usually dirty. An nice way to avoid dirty windows is a very bright normal or telephoto lens with larger than f/1.8 aperture. For example a full frame 85mm f/1.8 can make the dirty windows disappear with manual focusing at the infinity and aperture at f/1.8. It is just a phenomenon of optics. Oxford street isn't really busy early the morning weekdays when the shops start to open. Of course during the convenient noon hours and much more on Friday afternoon and Saturday Oxford street is hell. For really good and affordable Chinese or Asian food go to Bang Bang Oriental Foodhall. It isn't in the center of London but isn't far way with the underground. Check google and TripAdvisor.

And I have heard The London Eye at night was worth it. Oxford Street, by your definition, reminds me of Times Square and Hollywood Blvd. It's OK but, there are better places around the corner or a few blocks away with better, cheaper knick knacks and better tasting/priced eateries. Also, when I head out there, planning on not going to chain restaurants. I am, however, going to go to a lot of free museums out there!

Ironically, I was thrown out of Harris’s for eating a brownie I’d BOUGHT at Harrod’s, so I went to Liberty on Regent Street for the same Halcyon Days porcelain box at the same price as Harrod’s. Coincidentally, watching an American tourist pay full-whack retail at Harrod’s for a watch that’s heavily discounted everywhere else almost made me ill. I guess the “I bought it at Harrod’s” story was worth the $500 she over-paid.

As my wife knew someone who worked on security at the Eye...we wangled a whole pod for just 5 people. As Im not keen on heights I didnt really enjoy the weird feeling of rotation in places. Good views but...not much else Harods. I think people simply like to buy something cheap and get a Harrods carrier bag as a souvenir Shopping is shopping and dont interest me. I would say that I think Leicester Square is interesting to visit for the low budget street entertainment

Then I visited London with a friend (and did most typical touristy stuff again...) and she insisted on going on it. It was okay, but definitely not worth the money in my opinion. I like Oxford Street, because they have the biggest Lush Store in the world with some exclusives. I try to go there between 10 and 12 on a weekday, it isn't as busy then. Will try out your tips for other streets for shopping during my next trip to London. (Only 3 months till then! Yeah!)

For me the most overrated attraction was the Shard. However just nearby, Hays Galleria and the southern bank of the Thames around City Hall, the HMS Belfast, and the Queen’s Walk were awesome. Also the musicians around the city (Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Chinatown and in some of the bigger Underground stations) were always worth stopping for. All definitely worth giving a few pound to.

I think you are missing the point when it comes to Harrods. You aren't going there because you need to buy anything, you are going to see what it is like. You might buy something while you are there, if you can afford it, but the rooms are almost like a museum or that you are stepping back in time. So I agree there are better department stores to go to if you are going with the purpose of shopping, but if you are just going to see what it is like then I'm all for it. The food hall is amazing, if you can't afford anything else in the store maybe you can pick something up there and get one of those iconic green bags!!! So i wouldn't have put Harrods on this list. I would have put the Tower of London on this list. I live in London now, but unless it has changed since a went a number of years ago unless you are into armoury or wowed by jewels it isn't really that interesting. The only good bit is the guided tour, once that is finished the rest is a bit boring imo.

I did the eye when it first opened and then when I went with my 15yr old niece and I'd say 'dunnit'. The thing I always said though is - so you buy your tickets in advance, you're only there for a few days and it's sopped in cloudy. Then what? Most of everything else though it's "I cam I saw" and that's what you're supposed to do in London. Have you been on the lookout deck in The Shard? It's more expensive but you get to decide how long you're there for. I think my 'most overrated' thing is Hamleys. I guess, because of its age and grandeur I expected to step through the doors and be magically transported back to porcelain dolls with real hair, wooden soldiers and rocking horses LOL.

Of course an overrated list video leads to a natural question what are the 5 UNDERRATED attractions?

+Victoria Hi Lin chong I have eaten in a lot of Chinese restaurants in London which are amazing. I have also eaten in a lot in Chinatown & in my experience they have all been bad quality as they are particularly targeted at tourists.

If you want to see a beautiful skyline of London visit the sky garden which is in the walkie talkie building, it’s free but you have to book tickets in advance but trust me it’s a worth it experience skygarden.london, also The view at the top of the hill where the royal observatory sits in Greenwich Park is really nice too, all better than what you can see from the London eye

Captain Calculus A very sad reply. London is a dump. It's noisy, smells, filthy and full of its own self importance. Anyone satisfied with London is easily satisfied.
