The 'Proper' Royal Armoury is now in Leeds (West Yorkshire), although there is still some stuff left at the Tower to show the touristsOriginally Posted by Doc
Having said that there's still plenty to occupy you with a trip to the tower, Crown Jewels and all that stuff. Just don't point too closely at the exhibits otherwise you'll set off the proximity alarm and some sh*tty little jobsworth guard will come and give you a good telling off in front of everyone... Don't ask me how I know this

Definitely agree with Science Museum and HMS Belfast. Tower is OK, but pricey, as it the London eye. Although if I was spending cash, it would be on the eye. I would also echo the Grenwich suggestion, a good place with some nautical and scientific histiory, plus you get a boat ride which is a good way to see the city.

Yes, the Science Museum is definitely worth a visit Steve. You will be mucho impressed as I was many years ago when I had some time to spare in London while waiting for a connecting flight. You probably will not have enough time to see everything.

Boss on the project said 30 minutes from Heathrow, is he wrong?

Heathrow is about an hour from the centre of London.

^^^^^^^ As Heroic said ^^^^^^^^
High Wycombe is about 30 minutes drive from Heathrow so long as you made the journey after about 8.30pm. Traveling anywhere in and around London is a traffic nightmare. You could probably do the journey by train in an hour or so.
