London eye is about 5 minutes walk from Waterloo tube station.. and house of parliment
is like right infront of london eye so its more of a 5 minutes walk or so from london eye...
as for Madame Tussauds thats on another tube station.. you have to go to Baker street
tube station..

ill recommend u start by stopping at st james park.......from there u can go to westiminister only 5 min walk n then to buckhinghampalace........so thats all 3 covered for u, i usually walked to trafalgar square as well from there takes around 10 minutes.....so i recommend u do the same......(u will cover london eye as well by taking the above route!)...
then get back into the tube n get out at london bridge tube station u will cover tower bridge , london bridge n river thames etc.......
for tussads u need to take the baker line the brown one......n need to stop at baker loo station..........exit on ur left n keep walking straight for 5 min u will find tussads.............

hope u have a nice time!!! take loads of pics esp at london n tower bridge....would be worth it!!

Khanpuri when we went to the London Eye last year when we bought our tickets there was a 2 hour waiting slot, so we went to London Aquariam which is just near it to kill a bit of time.

The Planetarium is also worth a look when you visit Tussauds, its right next door to it.

Well if you want to see the London eye make sure you have plenty of time. You might be in for a long wait. It is worth it though. The view from up there is great.

I also suggest going to piccadilly circus and Leicester square. Lots of cool stuff there. You might even see the stars at a film premiere.
