Hello,
I will be in London for a week to see Pearl Jam at Hyde Park Fest. Any hidden gems we should see while we are here aside from the usual tourist places? My son is a soccer fan but open to just about anything.
Thanks
kevin

I presume that means you will be here in early July. That’s not the football season, but you can still take a football stadium tour of a Premiership ground or Wembley.
The London Transport Museum in Covent Garden is interesting for all age groups. The Royal Observatory in Greenwich is a good day out - go by boat. Have lunch at Camden Market. There are lots of unusual museums - such as the Clink Prison Museum or the Old Operating Theatre Museum. Walk over the O2 if you have a head for heights.
There are lots of alternatives, but unless you give us some indication of your interests, we maybe wasting our time. Please give us a few clues!

Thanks for the idea about walking the O2! Also the operating theater museum sounds neat. I am a total novice to London so those will be fun in addition to the usual sights. Of course the main event is the concert!
