[quote=Anonymous]Things to do in London:

Parks: Regent's Park (the best), Battersea Park (second best), Hyde Park, while beautiful, is played out and touristy. Victoria Park is also amazing and full of locals
Walks: Down the Strand to Trafalgar Sq and then up the mall to Buckingham Palace. From there you can go on to Mayfair/Oxford. Another one is to start near St Pauls, down to the Tate Modern, to Borough Market and possibly the Tower of London if time permits. 
British Library: amazing and has a museum attached with many important books like the Gutenberg bible, Magna Carta etc. It's also very close to King's Cross so you can check out the Regent's Canal and the fun restaurants (Dishoom, Granger, Vinoteca)
Museums: National Gallery, Tate Modern, and the V&A. While there are tons more these are easily the best

Do not stay in Marble Arch, Paddington, or Bayswater. While central these neighbourhoods are a bit run down and not that nice. I'd recommend Clerkenwell, Angel, or Highbury. Clerkenwell would be my pick, it is central and close to everything, not many tourists and amazing places to eat and have coffee

Places to eat: Morito, Dishoom, Granger, Polpo, Vinoteca, Yuatcha, Franco Manca. Splurges: Hakkasan, Pollen Street Social, Hawksmoor, Clove Club

It is an amazing place. Feel free to ask me any other questions!
