A few things I'd recommend doing in London:
1) Have lunch on a restaurant boat on the Thames river (especially if it's a nice day). There are quite a few of them near the Elephant & Castle tube station.
2) Enjoy an afternoon pint or seven in the upper level of the Punch & Judy pub in Covent Garden. It has a very special vibe about it, especially with all the street performers you'll be able to see as you look over the balcony. Oh, and don't order bitter. It tastes like muddy water. There are some really good restaurants in Covent Garden as well. I'd recommend Belgo's, a Belgian restaurant set in the basement of a building. They have a menu for beer that's longer than the food menu. Top class nosh.
3) Camden Market. Full of weird shit, and some funky pubs in the area as well. But don't go to the World's End pub, unless you want to be crammed in with a bunch of pretentious hippy students who could all do with a wash and a haircut.
You'll have a great time though. London is a fabulous city. I miss it very much.
