Where are you hoping to stay in London? there are loads of things to see. Historical.....Tower of London

Nelsons column in Trafalgar Square
Tate Gallery
National Gallery

Take a tour bus of London.

Camden Market
Portobello Market.
Pubs in Covent Garden.
Ballet at the Opera House in covent Garden.
Theatres all round Leicester Square and Strand.
The Pallandium in Oxford Circus.
China Town at the back of Leicester Square.
shopping in Oxford Street and Regent Street (beware of pickpockets over the Christmas period)
There are loads of places to eat...loads of pubs to choose from.
If you have time to go to Stratford on Avon also to see Anne Hathaways Cottage and Shakespeares birthplace.
Believe me there is so much to do that you will prbably find that you just dont have the time to do it all in.
Windsor itself is a lovely place. You might also like to go to Kingston and Richmond for shopping...nice crowd.
There are loads of places and I am sure I have missed a lot out.
Have fun and enjoy your stay but be wary over the Christmas period.

I would take in a show in the West End if I were you.
If you want to catch the pomp and ceremony or London you have to take a look around the houses of parliament, Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, St James' Park etc.
For shopping it depends on your budget, but the West End is famous for its shirt makers on Jermyn Street and Suit Makers on Saville Row. Despite what one of the previous answerer's said, you really should go to Harrods - the food hall is sumptuous and amazing.
I would take a visit to St Paul's Cathedral too, I don't know if you can still get up to the whispering dome, though.
Then the museums and galleries are very good, in general, but if you have young children I would avoid the British Museum as it is a bit more academic than general.
I hope that helps.
