Answer 5

All of the above plus Monument for London Monument and London Bridge or Tower HIll for Tower Bridge and Tower of London.

Many of the sights and stops we all have listed are very close and within walking distance.  To save money on transport and better see the city I would recommend buying a good detailed central London map and walking between sites that look close enough to do so.
