There's lots to see.and visit. Here's a brief list of the main attractions.
Palaces - Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace. All of these are open to visitors.
Museums and Galleries - Natural History Museum, Science Museum, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, The Tate and Tate Modern, British Museum, Imperial War Museum.
Famous Buildings and Monuments etc - The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, Whitehall and Downing Street, Clarence House, St James Palace, Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Marble Arch, Monument, Tower Bridge, London Eye.
Churches - Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, St Clement Dane, Temple Church, Saint Martin in the field.
There's such a lot to see I can't possibly list them all here. I'd recommend an Eyewitness Travel Guide as they're very comprehensive and include attractions, opening times, photos and maps.
Try the website for The Original London Walks as they do loads of guided tours around the city, They're very cheap and you can take Jack the Ripper, Harry Potter, The Da Vinci Code, Charles Dickens, Museum and Ghost walks. They are very good indeed and you get to see the places lots of tourists don't eve know about.
Travel by tube or bus, It's cheaper than by taxi and very convenient. You can get travel cards from your nearest tube station.
The main shopping streets are Oxford and Regent Street. You can try New Bond Street for Designer labels. Camden for alternative clothing. There's a big mall in Brent Cross also.
As for food, there are places to eat everywhere. China Town in Soho is good and Brick Lane for Indian Food in particular.
Have fun.

Hi there! You can visit Diana's fountain which was made in memoriam to her, it is in Hyde park...totally free. If you go to the Tower of London, and buy a ticket, you can get 3 for the price of one....it includes tours for 2 other places of interest for the same day for free...tickets to the Tower are only about $30 US dollars...totally worth the money, especially if you are interested in history. Also, the day you go to the Tower (which I guess is tomorrow and may be too late) they do a free ceremony of the keys, but you have to have tickets, and they don't give them to the general public. I would call the Tower of London today if you still have time and see if they can put a ticket on hold for you. I've heard it is one that you don't want to miss. =) Have fun!!
