Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are a must if you're staying in Westminster at the St Ermin's. The area around Parliament Square does get busy so try and get there early to avoid crowds. Westminster Abbey should also be on your list of places to see.
From here you can head into St James' Park, a slight relief from the hustle and bustle of London's streets, before heading to Buckingham Palace to see if the royal family are at home. Alternatively, from Westminster you can take advantage of the various photo opportunities of Parliament, London Eye and River Thames.
