Well if it's your first time in London you'll probably do all the main sights but if you are looking for inspiration here are just a few thoughts.
I agree with Cowperson, just walk around. I never get bored of walking around in London, there is always somewhere new and interesting to explore. There are some interesting areas to walk around not just some of the more obvious ones like Soho, Belgravia, and Chelsea but maybe some other ones that tourists might not think of like Camden or Wapping. I highly recommend following London's canals, say from Little Venice (around Warwick Avenue tube stop) to Camden or take the Olympic site tour (Bromley-by-Bow tube) and then once its finished follow the canals along there which is part of the Lea Valley Walk.
Use
this site for inspiration; it's got the 152 mile London Loop on it amongst others if you are feeling perky.
There are many great museums, some of which are obvious choices, but one of my favourites is the National Army Museum in Chelsea. Most people go to the Imperial War Museum, and it is great as well, but it only starts at WWI. If you wish to learn anything about the English civil war, the Seven Years war, the American wars of independence, the Napoleonic wars, the war of 1812, the Crimean war, the Indian Mutiny, the Zulu wars, the Boer war, or any of the other little wars in between then go to the NAM. That's about half the museum, the other half is WWI to present.

You might want to check those places out.
