A FORTNIGHT TO GO!

charliesmumDoes anyone even say fortnight any more?
Two weeks, anyway. Two weeks and I will be in the UK with my boyfriend! 'WooT' doesn't quite cut it.
I've been making a list of the things I simply MUST do. We're not there terribly long, not this trip, so I'm trying to keep it simple.
I really want to go to the Doctor Who experience. Dave the BF isn't all that interested in Doctor Who (one of his failings!) but he's willing to go, cause he's nice like that. I've suggested me going alone on Friday while he naps at the hotel. On one hand, I rather like the idea of me wandering through London alone, just like a real person, but on the other hand I'm not sure wandering through an unfamiliar city whilst jet-lagged is the best thing to do. So we'll see. I do really want to see it though.
The other silly thing I want to do is go to an Oxfam shop. There's one near our hotel.One of my goals is to find the first Harry Potter book, so I can have a copy with the proper title.
We're going to wander through Harrods, and eat at Dave's favourite pub which I believe is near there; Friend in Need or something I think its called.
And we're going to go to Covant Garden, and the British Museum, and the Tower Bridge. And we're going to try to get to 221B Baker Street.
Anyone have any other suggestions? We're saving the big things for July when Charlie's with us, but is there anything you know of that I simply MUST get to?
