Finding out that a ticket "purchased" on the secondary market is a nightmare of mine and something I worry about even with the reputable American resellers, always breathing a sigh of relief when the tickets scan... Good Grief! Did you at least get a refund?
I was in London for just a couple days this summer with my wife and daughter, one leg of a longer European vacation. We also did the Tower - similar thoughts about the Crown Jewels. I highly recommend getting one of the Yeoman Warder tours of the Tower, that was a highlight of our trip.
A.grand tour... But I'm worried you walked right past Tate Modern on your way from the Globe to St. Paul's without checking out the Turbine Hall - a huge free win for any children (mine are in their 20s and the eldest was there this very weekend...)??
I hear you, mine were similar. But the secret is that Tate Modern isn't so much a museum as an old power station converted into a high-end play area with optional conceptual art. I don't know anywhere else quite like it, and as it's free to get in it's worth a go. If you are back again, just don't mention the M word?
I'm glad you were able to see Salisbury Cathedral! While all of the cathedrals are wonderful in their own way, Salisbury has a strong case for being the best cathedral to visit and the city itself is charming.

As of yesterday, I was promised a refund within the next few days; I haven't checked to see if it processed yet.

SteelyKid is very anti-museum, and I think it would've required a lot of effort to get them into the Tate Modern.
