It gets rebuilt every few years, last time was in the 60s IIRC. It's like a giant game of jenga, we keep knocking it down the putting it back together again.

The Kensington Palace is wonderful
If you'd like to see something outside London I'd suggest you Bath and its Jane Austen museum.
EDIT: it's != its

Bath's a bloody long way from London for a day trip!
However, if you're going there, I've heard good things about the Herschel museum[^] as well.

Nah, I did it and I took the National Express bus, so the time required was even higher. Me and my missus mad a whole trip around town (it was very near to Christmas, and a Saturday, Bath was as full as a city can be) plus the JA museum, Plump Rooms and Regency Tea room (tea nad scones under a protrait of Ja's Mr Darcy, for my missus complete happiness ).
Missed the Herschel museum though, didn't know it was there.

The British Museum can easily take a whole day, even the Egyptian Room can take a whole day.
Within London I would also recommend the Imperial War, Natural History and Science Museums. They are all brilliant and suitable for children aged 3 to 103. Also to consider would be the V&A, Tate and National Portrait. Finally if you have an evening, you may well like to take in a show or just get tipsy in a bar.

Very good, but unbearably busy, especially in August, hours to get in and full of other people's kids - the most revolting species on the planet.

If you're up for travelling that far to see a stone circle I'd avoid Stonehenge and go to Avebury instead followed possibly by Kennet Long Barrow and of course the mandatory five minutes at the bottom of Silbury Hill going "Why?" like all of us did on our school trips!

Walking the South Bank [^]
If you're going to Westminster/The Eye, then this is a nice follow on.
Enjoy: plenty of other good suggestions posted as well.

Movie Quote Of The Day
I can't really remember when I last had any hope, and I certainly can't remember when anyone else did either. Because really, since women stopped being able to have babies, what's left to hope for?
Which movie?

Oh this is just one of the best movies. A lot of subtle references too, like this one: Most people should recognize this[^]
And a very good soundtrack.
