One of the highest costs of visiting London is your hotel room which isn't going to be a problem if you already live here. Get a travel card after 10am to get around. Get stuffed on a good breakfast at home then eat at places offering 2fors or other inexpensive offers. Walk the parks, visit museums and galleries, the Royal Opera House for standing tickets-even if that's not your scene, it's worth it for the experience. A simple drink at the top floor bar of the Park Lane Hilton is about the same as a ride on the Eye.

Contray to certain views on here, £100 will get you quite far in London providing you live here and won't need feeding (apart from a few sarnies for lunch of course!) or a bed.
In no particular order:
1. Tate Modern (with the Höller slides) in the Turbine Hall - free
2. Greenwich/Petticoat Lane/Portobello Road Markets - free
3. Westminster to Greenwich Boat ride - about £10
4. Design Museum (always good banter) - £7
5. Wonder around Natural History Museum - free
6. Afternoon tea at the Dorchester - £23
7. The Aquarium (well heated in winter) - £13
8. Go see a matinee of something - £10-£40 (depending on show)
That's just a sample, London is really not that expensive, this is a few of things I've done since moving down here 3 years ago, it's true that when stuff is on your doorstep, you show less interest, that's not to say "go to the Eye!" but there's plenty of slightly off popular things that we all forget about. If not of that tickles your fancy, buy a Time Out, there's always something in there.

Why not organise your own private film festival? The Prince Charles Cinema at 7 Leicester Place - just north off Leicester Sq is a repertory Cinema with four different films a day costs per session between £1.50 -£3.50 with membership (slightly more otherwise). Just watch whatever is on that week. You can take sandwich's/picnic or dine cheaply on Dim Sum in nearby China Town

just stroll round london, look at the hops, take a walk through market. £100 dont go far in london so just use it for lunch and cuppa teas etc:

lot of free museums and galleries, don't need to spend a fortune to have a good time in London
Alternatively stick it all on red or black and see either stay in and do nothing or have £200 to spend over 4 days!

ever heard of 'experimental travel' ? if you look on a search engine it will give you more information. You need not travel far to do it either
On Lonely Planet website it has info and you dont have to buy a book about it either.
That should give you some ideas.

You don't need to pay for a boat ride - you can get some riverboats with your travelcard
