It's been over 10 years since I've been to London, but all the places 
Lynn mentioned are still fresh in my mind. I also found fascinating the 
Museum of London - a concentrated collection on this wonderful city. 
Once I got over the thrill of riding the tubes (ok, I'm from a small 
town and have never been to New York), I realized how walkable London 
is. I spent a day walking through the entire city. I think it took 
about 4 hours. Other places worth mentioning:

1. The Theater District
2. Covent Gardens
3. Windsor Castle - I found this to be the most "romantic" feeling of 
all the castles I visited around the London area
4. I love to garden, so all the parks and gardens are a feast to the 
eyes. Traveling in June you'll be able to see lots and lots of roses. I 
loved wandered through the mews and other nooks and crannies to see the 
creative gardens that the Londoners have. Many of the parks also had 
open air concerts and plays at night. Lovely, lovely.
5. In the gardening mind, go see Kew Gardens
6. Outside of London, but easy train trip - Bath

There are also self guided/guided walking tours all over the town. I 
don't know who makes the maps as they were available at the college I 
was attending.
