London is pretty awesome, I only spent about five hours there, but I can go again sometime later (currently living in Norfolk). I'd recommend just taking the Tube all over the Circle line, it stops at all the tourist spots like Big Ben, Westminster Cathedral, Museum Road, Buckingham Palace, and so on. You can get a day pass for 4.90 quid, so it's a really cheap, set-your-own-schedule kind of way to see the most popular spots. I believe the changing of the guard happens at 11:30 am (we missed it, and I'm not sure if the time ever changes or not), so keep that in mind, the rest of the stuff is pretty flexible.

Museum Road is pretty awesome, but unless you have kids with you avoid the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. The Natural History Museum is definitely the kind of place you take your kids to when they start asking where babies come from (and you want to respond, "well, you see, once a long time ago there were these things called 'dinosaurs'). Definitely check out the Royal College and V&A, pretty cool stuff there.

Definitely check out an English pub, and definitely go see some live music, while in London. That's all I have to offer for the moment.
