Liverpool Station seemed like a nice place, except I remember it unhappily, because it was where I discovered I'd lost my Tube pass (expensive thing, being valid for the entire day) and the fare machines had long queues. Bah.
I went into the Dali exhibit by the London Eye, figuring I'd not get a chance to see something like that again for a long time. I wish it had more of his paintings; his sculptures, while interesting, aren't quite as memorable. Luckily for you, it seems like you have two different exhibits by my favorite painter within walking distance of one another. That's unlikely ever to happen in DC.
I read on Wiki the other day that planning permission for the Gherkin was only received after it was made clear the thing would be hard to see from the ground. Made it very annoying to find on the ground without a map, and the lack of space around it made it hard to photograph the entire building. Still, it's probably my favorite skyscraper in all of Europe.
At the heart of the City of Westminster is the icon of London. This is where democracy began. This statement would be controversial enough if you said modern democracy. But democracy in general could probably be said to have started in Athens.
