We have some family who lives in London, unsure exactly whereabouts. I may not need a train to South Kensington depending where they live. So on the 28th I could have said: visit the area in and around South Kensington.

"Hey mates!" Blimey though I'd strayed onto an Australian forum by mistake. :-)

To elaborate on Emma's comment about Abbey Road Studios and the famous Zebra Crossing, it is easily reached by stopping and walking from the Circus Road stop on the number 13 or 113 buses, or walking from the Jubilee Line station at St Johns Wood.

Abbey Road station is in East London a whole world away.

I am a HUGE Beatles fan, so I just expect to cross the famed walk and go on my merry way. Thanks all for the tips! Keep em coming!

@Emma what sights are around St. Pauls Cathedral? What could I group with that stop on my adventures? Ditto for Natural History Museum, what is around that as well?

@Nigel is there a particular part of my trip where you see the Abbey Road crosswalk as a quick and easy detour from what I would already be doing?

As Emma says, there' nothing near Abbey Road Studios, unless you count Panzers Jewish deli (a point of pilgrimage for newly arrived American ex-pats looking for imported US foods), The MCC (Lords), Little Venice, Maida Vale, the Mosque, and the top of Regents Park and St Johns Wood.

It is unlikely that any of those would attract a first time visitor.

Near St Pauls is One New Change (and its free roof) and the Sky Garden at the Walkie Talkie Building.
