A very simple, and VERY effective way to keep yourself cool is to wet a bandana, or scarf... in cold water, then place a bit of ice in the center, and roll it up. Then, with the ice centered, and placed on the back of your neck, tie the scarf around your neck. Not necessarily the best fashion statement, but it DEFINATELY works!!
I was at the county fair a few years ago, and collapsed from heat exhaustion. That was the first thing they did.. It cools your brain stem, and tricks the rest of your body into thinking it's cooler than it is.. I felt better within the half hour. Just keep re wetting the scarf throughout the day, as your body will absorb the water, and the heat will dry out the scarf.

I live in Texas, so I'm pretty much an expert on "beating the heat". If you can't stay inside with the A/C, go outside and get in the pool. Or turn on the sprinkler and sit under the spray ~ that's a 2-in-1 because you water your grass at the same time!! And iced tea is really refreshing. I realize that's pretty much a sin to the Brits, but it's really good! Stay cool! :-)

Think cool. Don't obsess about how high the temp. is. Wear light clothing. Drink cool drinks and eat light foods. It's a mind thing.

Suprisngly enough its if you drink a got drink lol. But I am not doing that. I do not have a solution other than go install air con quick. I have bottled water and I put that in the freezer, I keep a wet towel near me and wet my face every now and then. I even put a wet towel undey my bum.

Bathing ponds at Hyde park

Freezer department at a supermarket.
Air con is the only answer really.

Take a warm shower. The air will then seem cooler for a time.
Oh, and get A/C!
