The museums in London are all free. Basically, everything amazing is there because they pillaged everywhere else in the world, so they let you come and visit your things for free! I would highly recommend the British National Museum and National Gallery if you like those kinds of things. The British National is really impressive, and areas like the Egyptian and Assyrian exhibits are really incredible.
Overall, the UK is a fantastic place to visit and London is an incredible city.

Agreed, lots of great Museums and lots to see. Skip the 'Touristy Crap' like waiting in line for The Eye of London, etc.
The Tower of London is very cool, go to some of the open markets and get a proper English breakfast from a sweaty man in a wife-beater that you cant understand.
Oh! And for the Love of God...do NOT go to the Tate Modern Art Museum. The price of admission is an absolute ripoff...even though its free. Its 90 minutes of your life you'll never get back and theres a non-zero chance you'll hate it so much and seriously consider ending your life.
