You could go to Brighton and visit the pier and the pavilion. Dover is close by, you can see the chain home low stations, the castle, the cliffs and even catch a ferry (or hovercraft) to Calais if you like. The Isle of Wight is nice too. If you go up to London, from the Southeast there is the Greenwich museum, fascinating for anyone into boats and maps, Wren's nautical college (I forget the name) and the observatory, the "line" and the Cutty Sark. From the Southwest see Richmond on Thames and the park and those tennis courts if you're into that. In London there's so much it's unbelievable. If the weather's nice take an open bus tour, if not see the British Museum (but plan- the place is huge) or any of the other museums or castles (arrive early to see the Tower), your daughter might like Soho (which is now trendy and not sleazy), Harrod's and any of the shopping in Kensington/Park Lane and well...look at a guidebook. There's so much to see. Unless you know London or are going early on a weekend (preferably with a Nav) I wouldn't advise driving in the City. It's a major hassle and parking is precious and expensive.
