True but Devon is essentially bandit country and I believe on their cream teas they put the clotted cream on first and then the jam.

I go to London quite a bit and recommend the following:
The British Museum
Imperial War Museum
Tate Modern (but only if there's something good in the turbine hall, it's been a bit rubbish lately)
National Portrait Gallery (if nothing else it gives a pretty decent history of English, Scottish and British Monarchs).
They're all free entry so it's worth having a look. In fact quite a few of a the big musuems and galleries have free entry. Apparently it's one the things that the tourists like.
You have to have fish and chips but try to find a proper fish and chip place and not a pub. Also, I recommend having rock (which I believe is a type of dog fish) as I think it's nicer than cod, it has a stronger flavour, but not everywhere has it. If they have rock, I take it as a sign that's it's a decent place to have eat.
Have a pint Of Fuller's London Pride, if I can remember any good pubs I'll let you know. Ooh, there's a pretty good one in the Hays Galleria opposite HMS Belfast (not a million miles from Tower Bridge). There are plenty of pubs and bars and restaurants in that area anyway.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your visit to Europe.
