London -- Sunday morning

Brick Lane market is worth a visit

Greenwich has a nice market- and its park is lovely.

We spent a Sunday morning doing a lovely "do it yourself" walking tour of Mayfair (which was delightfully empty!)-- Also went to the Apsley House, which I believe opened at 10am. We did the entire audio tour in 40 minutes.

It all depends where you are staying and where you are off to next! Greenwich and Brick Lane/Spittalfields area is nice on a Sunday but to really worth it if you have to catch a plane across town.

London doesn't really get started until 10 or 11 on a Sunday. I'd opt for a walk through one of the royal parks. St James Park and Buckingham Palace or a walk along the South Bank first thing in the morning or Westminster, House of Parliament/Big Ben and Whitehall up towards Trafalgar Square or all of the above!

To answer above, 12:30 eurostar to Paris.

whatever you decide, just make sure you check the tube for weekend engineering works (signs are clearly posted in the stations).

To the previous responder......

.....because that is not what I want to do (sleep in etc...). Were it, I wouldn't have asked the question I did.

Jenufa is right, you are likely to find several Tube lines and/or stations down on the weekend for service. I agree, too, that a nice lazy stroll around one of the parks is the best bet early on Sunday morning. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the station and catch the Eurostar. (Me? I'd just sleep late and have a nice breakfast.)

Are you carrying luggage on the train?

Speaker´s Corner, of course. Always good for a nice bout of heckling.

Wtih a 12:30 (I assume mid-day, not midnight) train to catch, you won't have much time to do anything. You'll need to be at the station by about 11:30. Why not sleep in, eat a leisurly breakfast, then make your way to the station.

You could do a round-trip Thames cruise - they are less than an hour and generally come with interesting commentary. I believe the London Eye opens fairly early if that's of interest. The RS guides have a sidebar on "London for early birds and night owls" which lists the Churchill Museum/Cabinet War Rooms and Shakespeare's Globe as open early [9 or 9.30] daily. And many museums will be open at 10, which might work depending on how long you want to stay - we went to the Courtauld just to see the Seurat paintings and were done in about 20 minutes!

Sunday morning would be a lovely time to take a walk around some neighborhoods Belgravia, Knightsbridge or South Kensington. Walk thru some of the beautiful
parks St James, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens or Holland Park.

We needed to be at Heathrow for flight home by noon, so since our hotel was close to Hyde Park, we enjoyed an invigorating walk there before heading to Paddington Station. We knew we would have several hours of sitting on the flight home, so the exercise felt good.
