Things to do in London..hmmm how about catch a train to Paris then on to Venice [thumbup]

Seriously,

It's not so great in London (I live here and I'm pretty jaded but whatever) but if you want the sights then the Tower of London is OK if you're into that.

You could also cross the bridge from there and do the London Dungeons bit, they're OK for a laugh.
We've done all this many times and round it off with a boat trip to Greenwich. Not much in Greenwich but it's on our way home so it's a relaxing way to get there

All in walking distance below

Loads of good shops in Oxford St and then Tottenham Court road just round the corner.
Leicester Square, Covent garden (Street entertainers) Trafalgar square is always there for a laugh. St Pauls just down the road from the Square.
While you're round that area try and catch a theatre, one thing about London is the great shows on all the time.

Get a train to Waterloo and it's a 10 minute walk to the Imperial war museum, not a great part of London area wise but that's a good place if you like tanks, planes and other good blowing stuff up items. Loads of other free museums in London also, check em out if it's your thing.

Night time, well there are no shortage of clubs, bars etc. You could never do em all and that's a fact! [thumbup]

Enjoy your trip!

and stay out of Peckham, you wouldn't like it [thumbdown]
