The National Gallery on Trafalgar Square and the nearby National Portrait Gallery are amazing. I also highly recommend the Tate Gallery for modern art.
As you can see I'm pretty much into art!
The British Museum is an absolute minimum. Some truly amazing displays, including the Sutton Hoo treasure and the Parthenon Marbles (stolen by Lord Elgin).
Very impressive.
Oh, and don't forget a few good English pubs. Not the touristy ones, or the crappy glitzy clubs in the city centre (though they're fun if you're into dancing etc!).
I also never go to London without visiting Chinatown (just near to Soho) and going to the restaurant "Wong Kees" (spelling?). It's totally amazing Chinese food in a large and crappy surrounding. The waiters are famous for being rude, but it's a London institution by now and the food is top of the world and extremely cheap.
Have fun mate, you'll love it!
