I don’t have much to add, but wouldn’t drive in London and I’d get an Oyster card. You can just use your phone, but for some reason mine wouldn’t work when I was there and I had my old one anyway.
The museum’s in the article that Barnet posted above are basically incredible. The British National has what has to be an unrivalled collection of Egyptian and Middle-Eastern artifacts (it’s free because they went around the world and stole everything, I assume!). The National Gallery is also excellent and there are a lot of world famous paintings there (also free).
