Both are good depending on what you're expecting. London is culturally wonderful - it's big and chaotic though from what I remember. We drove straight into central London, so it was Hyde Park, Kensington Garden etc - all of these places made it a cool day out, we managed to get home by the evening. It's generally more expensive than it is in Manchester. However, some areas are less chaotic than others - you'll have to plan your spot if you decide to go London.
Manchester is more laid back and I'll recommend it for a day out (away from Birmingham). I think with Manchester you'll experience more as compared to London where you'll probably see more. That was the case for me anyhu.
Are you going with friends, sis?

There are not enough hours in a day to go visit London. You need like at least a week to proper enjoy yourself there.
Manchester is great for a day out IMO.

SURE! Great idea Umar...if she wants to spend exactly 10 minutes at each attraction she'll be back home before midnight!
What genius..

oh i forgot
going around the trafford centre can be done within 2.3seconds,
FOOL
whereas thorpe park she can spend the whole day
and in london use the trains, and you'll get places quick
like say you start off at oxford street, spend an hour there, move to regent's park (it's 10mins away), then go harrods! thats also 10mins away
all these places are close by
we have the best transport service
