Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Globe Theater, Pubs.
That's the biggest attractions I can think of in London.

You're a Finn. You don't need to invent bizarre looking words, just use your native tongue.
" HAAYOAIE is a Finnish word for "a plan for the wedding night"; it has 7 consecutive vowels, and 6 of the 8 vowel sounds that exist in Finnish (there is an umlaut above the first two A's and the O).
SAUNA is the only common word in the English language borrowed directly from Finnish. Obscure words from Finnish include KANTELE, a type of zither, PULKA, a sled, ESSIVE, a linguistic term, and EDUSKUNTA, the Finnish parliament .
(I do like that last one. I've often thought governments were a bunch of eduskuntas)
The Finnish word SAIPPUAKIVIKAUPPIAS (a dealer in lye) is the longest known palindrome in any language according to the Guinness Book of World Records."
