Activities for UK Trip

I have finally reached the next milestone on my trip to the UK, I purchased all of our prepaid items. While these items do not encompass all of the activities we have planned, they are the ones that are 1) in high demand and require reservations/advanced purchase, 2) provide a distinct cost savings by purchasing out of country, or 3) provide significant time savings by eliminating the need to stand in a queue (aka line to us Yanks).

The remaining activities, while already placed in the itinerary, allow an increased flexibility since they have not yet been reserved or paid for. If for some reason we find we cannot catch a train, we will be able to skip one of these unpaid for activities. That however, does not mean they are any more or less important in the end.

For our trip we have already purchased:
-City sight seeing bus tour of Bath Spa
-Paid a deposit for a walking tour in Scotland
-Cruise of Loch Ness
-Tour of the vaults below Edinburgh
-Tour of the secrets of Edinburgh
-City sight seeing bus tour of Edinburgh
-Edinburgh Castle admission
-Nighttime city sight seeing bus tour of London
-Watch a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre
-London Tower admission
-Hampton Court admission

The following represent the activities we plan to pay for or attend (i.e. free) when we get there:
-Bath Roman Bath and Spa
-Tea at the Royal Pumphouse
-Inverness Museum (free)
-Culloden Battlefield
-Clava Cairns (free)
-Edinburgh Camera Obscura
-The Scotch Whisky Experience
-Edinburgh Museum (free)
-Edinburgh Writer's Museum (free)
-Brass Rubbing Center (free)
-Arbeia Roman Fort
-Bede's World
-South Shield Museum
-Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths, and Museum
-Greenwich Royal Observatory
-Victoria & Albert Musuem (free)
-British Museum (free)

Since we have some flexibility, if we find we are too tired or there is not enough time we will have the option of cutting some of these activities since they haven't been paid for or reserved.
