if you are going to sight see at all make sure you include tower of london. My cousin is a buyer for a clothing company right DT london, she's awesome and she's always knows where the good sales are. If you want me to send off an email and find out what she suggest let me know
It you feel like going to see a play or musical or something (which you totally should) then most of them are sold out but they sell standing room only tickets really cheap the day of the show. Covent garden is awesome, there is usually a lot of people playing live music and such. And if you like indian food you HAVE to go to Brick lane, walk up and down the whole street a couple of times, they have guys outside that offer you free things if you choose to eat there, usually a round of drinks or a bottle of wine, its really entertaining, but dont always go for who gives you the most free shit lol they can be really shady :)

Also awesome is Wagamama, a noodle chain that offers some of the tastiest, healthiest food at best value for your pound in all of London. "Tasty", "healthy" and "affordable" are three adjectives that RARELY can be easily attached to any cuisine in London, so take note. There's one of those in Covent garden. Go up and down Christopher Wren's Monument, just to say you did. (and for the view) Tate Moderne art gallery is flipping amazing, I had to go twice and I still didn't see everything. (it's free, although cleverly placed collection booths will suggest that you should drop in a few pounds, you cheap wanker) The art gallery at Trafalgar Square offers up a more classical art vibe (translation: Everything is Jesus-related until you get to the 1800s or so) Pick up Time Out magazine to figure out basically everything that's going on.. think Georgia Straight X 10 Figure out which of the two weekends has the preferrable lineup at Fabric, and fricking go there. (costs 15 quid for a reason) Shoreditch, like Fabric, is pretty far from where you're staying, but also has a great nightlife (and nothing is inaccesible once you figure out the tube and buses) Cargo is a fun place with a unique layout. I know you said you weren't that interested in clubbing but I don't know what design means so that's what you got. Cheers! (tans a pint of Fuller's London Pride)
