London advice

I am going to London with my 80 year old (but sprightly) mother on 2nd-3rd June. I have organised a couple of shows, the London Eye and a Thames cruise. We have to be at the Lyceum theatre by 1.45 on the Saturday. Can anyone suggest a good activity to do on the Saturday morning? Mum's not overkeen on museums and art galleries!
Thanks in advance

    Tower of London then a no 15 heritage bus from the Tower of London, past St Paul's along Fleet Street, get off at the Aldwych end of the Strand, cross the road walk up to the theatre.

    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.

    Weather permitting:
    St James Park or Green Park followed by tea at fortnum and masons

    or Hyde Park - there is a nice cafe on the lake.
