Check out the museums, they are free which is excellent because London is ludicrously expensive. The British Museum is awesome, I spent like 4 hours there and I think I saw everything. There is another pretty good museum type thing (costs money though), it is where Churchill spent his time during WW2, it is his bunker. It is one of the coolest places I have ever been.
Also, check out a play or two, or even three. But please, do yourself a favor and go to "Avenue Q", I was laughing for 2 hours straight. It is like Sesame Street but with songs about internet porn, homosexuality, swearing, racism, etc. Oh yeah and puppets have sex...
If you do decide to see a play, dont get them at the theatre, go to the places selling "last minute tickets", kind of places, I got a 3rd row seat for like $50.
Food wise, try to get some Shepherds pie, I had awesome shepherds pie at this one restaurant.
And make sure to get tons of pictures, I regret not taking enough, although I took a ton.
And as others have said, use the Tube.
Oh yeah, and London is ING HUGE! To get from the airport to my hostel took 2 hours using the Tube/trains.
