Can you recommend places to take a foreigner in England?

Hi all, i have a pilipino woman coming to visit me for 1 week. We are staying in London for the first 3 days where i will take her to the theatres in the west end, millenium eye, buckingham palace, tower of london (need more london attractions, can you recommend any) also i'm willing to travel around England for the next 4 days so if you can recommend some more places they will be greatly recieved. ps, I know she wishes to visit a castle and i thought of showing her the good old british sea-side. Thanks in advance for replies. cheers

straight back to the airport
How about Stonehenge? or come up to Liverpool and show her the Beatles museum, a famous place in Scotland may be 'The Barrowlands' erm, in Wales theres the Smallest House in the UK. Theres loads of places!
She is going to be culturally overwhelmed so take it easy.

Wales (not England) would be a nice change.
City of York

As it's got an ancient defensive wall going right the way round the City.......... along with York Minster (2nd largest church in Northern Europe), "Cliffords Tower" + York Castle, and the world's largest Railway museum.

Also, the seaside is only a couple of hours Bus ride away on the excellent YORKSHIRE COASTLINER (service 840 from Leeds to York, then onto my hometown of Whitby)

Along the way the bus also passes through the village of Goathland, and you get an excellent view of the Station on the NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS RAILWAY, which was used as the location for HOGSMEADE Station in the first 2 HARRY POTTER movies.

As for my Home town of Whitby (voted Britain's BEST seaside resort), it's got an ancient ruined Abbey, 3miles of beach, THE MAGPIE CAFE (one of the best seafood restaurants in the country), Botham's Bakery, 2 long piers, "The Dracula Experience", several museums + a 1/3rd Scale replica of Captain Cook's ship HM BARK ENDEAVOUR........ there's also a full sized sailing ship, THE GRAND TURK but no one's sure how much longer it's going to be here 'cos the owners currently have it up for sale (锟?million)

you have to come to cumbria. try haverigg millom cumbria. on the edge of the lake district and not as expensive. everone friendly you will be made to feel at home and there is a beach
Take her to Warwick Castle! I think the entertainment is on for the summer season now (jousting, trebuchet, archery etc.) There is also a really nice place to stay next door called The Park Cottage which is a historical building itself.
i normally take foreign tourists to covent gardens, british museum, tate then onto windsor castle and eton and finally stonehenge and oxford
As a recent tourist, I can tell you that the Tower of London is overrated. Skip that one. Take her to Harrods. That is a great store. Visitors usually like Madame Tussauds Wax Museum as well. Hope this helps a little.
york would be good,then a tour of the dales followed by a trip to scarborough.culture then beauty followed by fun.
In London you could go to Madame Tussuad's wax work museum , The Planetarium both on Marylebone Rd . In the afternoon you could go to the science museum and the natural history museum in South Kensington. Then there is Westminster abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, The tower of London (feed the ravens) and have a look at the crown jewels. The National Gallery, The British Museum ,Hyde Park and then out to Wembley to have a look at the new stadium.

Camden Lock , Oxford street , Regent street , Portabello Road, Leicester square , Covent Garden Spittafield market , Fleet street Houses of Parliament , Big Ben , St Martin in the fields , Picadilly, Mayfair and then go to the east end. Not forgetting Brixton and Waterloo.

When you get out of London I think Bath and Wells and Glastonberry are nice towns and you could drop in on Stonehenge on the way. I hope i have given you some ideas . Have a nice time.
I say take her to a proper British pub and have a good pub meal with a pint of decent beer (not lager, she can get that back home!). Introduce her to marmite as well ^_^. How about taking her to see the outside of Buckingham Palace and the Crown Jewels and what not? I've got a German person coming over in July so I've been thinking about this sort of thing too.
The open top big red bus company is always a popular one for tourists! Fingers crossed you have the weather though. There is a deal on at the moment with the trains, 2 for 1 offer at loads of london attractions, perfect you say - check out www.2for1entry.co.uk.

For castles try Windsor (close to London but its a bit overated) or if you are prepared to travel, very gorgeous Warwick. Better still why not get a cheap day return flight to Edinburgh and get a wee bit of bonny scotland in your agenda. Of course dorset, cornwall is perfect for that typical 'english rose' settings and why not try a spot of surfing in Newquay! Ahh and close to brighton and bournemouth, again quaint seaside towns. ( make a visit to Lulworth cove - its gorgeous there)

My friend, London rocks but after 3 days you must get out the rat race and explore, cities become all the same after a while. Many of us do not appreciate just what beauty is out there! Hope this helps :-)
go to madam tusards, harrods she will love that ,

if its still on go see the rat pack at the theatre i saw it at the strand!!!!

you could also go to the silver vaults!!!!!!!!!

hope that helps
there is no where like Blackpool it has every thing.
if she likes shopping then you could take her to oxford street!! :)

oh and quite a lot of tourists like to go on the underground tubes and the red buses. maybe u could even go on a tour bus which will take u round central London, showing you and explaining all about the different London attractions.
If you want to do seaside and castle, why not take her to Arundel Castle (90 mins by train from Victoia) lovely place and beautiful town, then hop back on the train and down to Littlehampton ( a further 10 mins by train, 2 stops) good beach, nice marina and small harbour.

Also if your doing London get the 2 for 1 offer booklet from one of the Mainline Railway Stations, obtain a travelcard each and get some good bargins.

Kew Gardens, Hampton Court, The Museums in South Kensington, DUKW (the yellow duck) River trip is fun, The Tate Gallery (New or Old ones), the list could go on, it all depends on your tastes and requirements.

Personnaly I would not do the Tower, Tussards, extremley over priced now and full of tourists.

Outside of London there are so many places to do and see, you have a huge History, palaces, gardens, etc, etc, to choose from it all depends on your budget, travel time and how to travel to these locations.

Have Fun and check out some of the sites like National Trust, English Heritage, and some of the County Council sites have lists of local attractions within their respective areas.

Good Luck
If you want her to experience the soul of London, take her to places where she can feel like a Londoner. Tourist places are not one of them. I would reccomend:

A good Club (funky Buddha, China White, Voodoo)

Good Shopping (Oxford Circus and Brent Cross in Wembley etc)

Good restaurant (I love Chiquitos - Mexican)

Trocaddero in Picadilly Circus
