GO SEE THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY. It kicks ass. It's in Greenwich (as in "Mean time"--and that's not a coincidence). You can straddle the prime meridian, with one foot in either hemisphere. You can see all sorts of great scientific and geeky things. It's basically like a museum of history and science. When I was there several years ago, there was an exhibition of very early timepieces that were made to hold up to the movement of a ship at sea--time measurement being crucial to the measurement of longitude.
When you walk down the bottom of the hill, have fish and chips in the first shop you see. I can't remember its name, but it was freaking awesome.
