1st time to London with my 9 yr old daughter. She not very active physically. How can she enjoy London best?

any fun fares, musical performances,etc? She doesn't speak English.

Answers:
You don't say if your daughter is unable to walk much, or just doesn't like it.

Other replies have been good. I would just like to add that, if you're staying in London, buying a daily bus pass would save a lot of time and walking. For an adult it's £3.50 for a day, and gives you unlimited travel within, I think 5 zones. This means that instead of every small or large journey costing an adult £1.50, you can save a lot and just jump into any bus, even if it's only one or two stops! (I do it myself, if it's raining and I don't want to walk up Oxford Street!)

If you like museums, you can usually borrow a portable chair to take around with you. In most art galleries, there is a small room by the entrance of most exhibitions where you can sit for 10-15 minutes to watch a film about the artist.

The London Eye (south bank, near the Festival Hall) would be a nice idea - you just step into a "pod", and it takes about 30 minutes to go round: there are benches in it, and the views on a clear day are fabulous.

Check out also "Time Out" magazine for things to do, and get the "Evening Standard" newspaper on a Thursday for current events. There are a lot of musicals in the West End, and your daughter might enjoy any of them! Covent Garden Opera House and the Coliseum have ballets and operas if that is to your taste, also Sadlers Wells and the Peacock Theatre (near Holborn) - the Peacock has some unusual performances you both may enjoy. Many churches have lunchtime or evening concerts - many free - and St Martin-in-the-Fields (just on Trafalgar Square, right by the National Gallery, and Portrait Gallery) has some excellent concerts by candlelight.

If you get a "London Walks" brochure (found all over; you can get one in St Martin-in-the-Fields, downstairs in the Crypt), you will find they not only do Walks of interest, but also day trips to interesting places.

I don't know about fun fairs - these usually are outside London, but you may, through a travel agent, be able to book a trip for a day.

Enjoy your visit!

Other answers:
1)Stay in the hotel and watch TV.
2)Stare out the hotel window and look at the double decker busses.
3)Order room service and vote on the best British food.
4)Walk up and down the hotel hallways and ask other guest what they liked about London.

Or, you could actually be like a real tourist and get out and walk through London and experience it first hand

I can only think of Legoland in Windsor, just outside London.That is a full day and many tourists there, went there myself 2 years ago while we were down in Oxford. Not cheap though, it cost us (adults) £23.00 each to get in.
When people say they're staying in London it's very imprecise. WHERE in London helps.

I'm going to answer this as if you're talking about Central London (where the Queen lives - sometimes)

If it's your first time in the capital I'd strongly suggest taking one of the tourist open top bus tours.

Because they're hop on - hop off and they have guides talking many languages it'll enable you to get a whistle stop idea of where you'lll fancy going during the rest of your stay.

For example if it's a rainy day then Madame Tussauds and the Planetarium can take most of a day, as can many of the museums like the National History museum which is now very kid friendly with interactive exhibits.

You'll also go via the Tower of London, that takes most of a day to explore properly. Then on the bus tour you can jump off at places like Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square etc to take pictures.

They also give you a funky map which is very handy to find your way from one tourist attraction to the next.
