Depends on weather though as it usually rains here in the UK :<
London aquarium
Big Ben
Houses of parliament
Buckingham palace
Tower of London
Millennium dome (just to look at)
Hyde park
Regents Street (shopping)
Oxford Street (shopping)
Downing Street (Priminister lives their, you cant actually go down it but you can look)

If you're going for a few days get an oyster card for the underground (trains), buses, it costs nothing to get and you pay a lot less than just cash.
Some of the places to shop/eat in the knightsbridge/kensington/chelsea area are just ridiculously expensive, you don't have to pay the earth to eat well.
Most museums are free to get in but sometimes you need to pay to get into certain exhibitions.
Most bars/clubs will ask for ID if you look under 21 (drinking age is 18 for all drinks), be prepared to be turned away if you don't have valid ID.
Newspapers: London Lite and The London Paper are free, Evening Standard is 50p (about 0.8euros), all same in terms of quality for what you get imo.
Tips are 10%
(Don't jump the tube barriers :p -> bad joke)
The london dungeon is really nice as well :).
