London's Calling: Planning It

We leave for London this Wednesday night, and come home on the following Monday. It's a short trip, so we have to be smart about how we spend our days, and I bet you think I have my itinerary all buttoned up already. Well, as usual, it isn't. As much as I may seem like a 'travel expert'...I'm a bit of a wreck before a trip. I get anxious about flying. I overpack. I get in arguments with my husband about my overpacking. I have at least one freak-out in which I say I wish I wasn't even going. But, the itinerary planning is happening today.  I thought I'd bring you along for the ride on how I figure it all out...or try to.
The first thing I do is pull our my Moleskin London Journal, so everything I find online that I like, I immediately put into the book. It's divided by categories, like food, shops, restaurants, hotels...then you can make up your own categories too.

I'd love to hear your favorite things to do in London...
