I heartily second RogerDetroit's recommendation to visit Churchill's war room, it is very convenient, just off of Whitehall road. Incredible sight, they just closed the door and left it after V-E day, they were thinking that there might be war with Russia soon, so they left everything intact.
40 years later someone realized that it was a time capsule and they opened it to the public, after much work.
The Imperial War museum on the south side of the Thames on Lambeth road. Plan on an afternoon there, it is a very full museum, and beautifully done. As the son of a WWII vet (91 years old and still with us!) who served in the UK during WWII
I found their profound and pronounced appreciation of the United States and our involvement in the wars very moving.
Take some of the walking tours of London, you will be taken to see places and learn about some things you would not otherwise see. Take the Tube everywhere, it is wonderfully functional in a way most Americans outside of New York or San Francisco can't imagine.
I would do most of my eating at Pubs, they have really good food and it is reasonable. Anything that we think of as a restaurant here is quite expensive there.
