Check out St. Martin in the fields Chapel at Trafalgar Square! You can Make Brass Rubbings in the basement for a few pounds and have lunch in the Cafe in the Crypt. Its some fun for an hour or two and you get to take home a souvenir you made yourself!
Trafalgar Square also has The National Portrait Gallery and many fine statues as well as Nelsons Column!
St Martins In The Field

Yep come to Camden. I live there
You will find shwarma served in more or less every High Street in every district of London.
Spitalfields has a great antiques / clothes / collectibles market. It's also right next to BanglaTown where you will find rows and rows of Indian Restaurants with people standing outside hawking for business and Brick Lane which has a lot of good shops and some great Bars
If you are interested in art the you could try the Saatchi Gallery or the Museum of Modern Art. The National Gallery (In Trafalger square) is gigantic but tiring to get round
The British Museum is pretty amazing if you would like to take a look at all the stuff we stole from everyone over the centuries

I would recommend the Planeterium at the Royal Observatory (I haven't been for years, it used to be in the same building as Madame Tusseauds (sp?) last time I was there):

The National Gallery is well worth a whole day... my fave paiting there being The Execution of Lady Jane Grey:

British Museum is also very good:

Liverpool Street is the big music street in London, where all the best guitar shops are. Off Charring Cross Road about a 10 minute walk from Trafalga Square

Out of the things on that list I've done all but 2 I think, Never been to the Hard Rock Cafe.
Someone bought me a "Duck Tour" for a gift once, it's kind of fun especially the bit where you drive into the Thames. But I did feel a bit of a twit driving through London in it
The London Eye is good on a clear day. If it's not clear it can be a bit of a bust though.
London Dungeon is good (mainly because of the actors), we often go there around Halloween. There is also another one opposite it now called The London Bridge Experience and Tombs which I personally think is better. It's the History of London with actors upstairs and quite scary downstairs.

Ooops! Yes, Denmark Street! lol (I got my JV Squire there!)
I told you it's years since I left London!
Don't forget Kensington Market on High St Kensington - also good

If you do the Jack the Ripper tour that is is Farringdon - you should visit Leather Lane market while you are there. Walk down to Hatton Garden which is the big Jewelery Centre in London. Alternatively get a bus up to Angel and there are loads of brilliant old antique shops to brows around there. And another big market actually lol The antique shops are better though, the market is very every day......

Angel, in Islington, London

Great bars, restaurants and antique shops! lol
Yes, London in the 60's would have been so cool. Carnaby Street for example - don't know what it is like these days but worth visiting when you are close - Piccadilly Circus is just across the way from there.
London's parks are also worth a visit. Hyde park for example is lovely.
