I spent near half a year in London recently.

Visit as many museums as possible: they are all free. I suggest starting with the British Museum (you get to see so much cool stuff, including the Rosetta Stone) and going from there.

St. Paul's Cathedral is staggeringly beautiful. After you finish with that, it is a tiny walk to the Millenium Bridge. Just stand on top of it and look to your left and right for a while, preferably at dusk.

There is just so much stuff to look at and do that I don't even know where to start. Follow whatever interests you; I guarantee that you won't be let down.

P.S. Wear not a fanny pack, but a pouch that goes under your clothes. Also, know ahead of time if you plan on going outside of Zone 1 on any given day. This is for the Tube - feel free to ask the folks working on the Tube, they are usually quite helpful. Pick whatever zones you expect to be traveling in that day and get an all day pass for those zones - it'll save you a lot of money.

Plus, those passes will be good on buses as well.

Have fun - I'm jealous!
