well if your going with your girlfriend the i would highly recommend a trip to Oxford Street. There's nothing like a bit of shopping!!! also you may want to take a mini boat cruise down the river thames or a trip to Tate Modern, an art museum!! hope i helped!! =)

If you like museums go to the British Museum (Tottenham Court Road), the Natural History Museum or the Science Museum (South Kensington). Here is a list with all the information http://www.londontourist.org/museums.html#Bmus
There are some good art galleries too: The Tate, The Tate Modern, The National Gallery.
To go shopping the best places are Oxford Street (although avoid it at weekends, it is so busy!!), Covent Garden (also quite fun, it has street performers too). If you want to go to any markets try Brick Lane or Portobello Road (also has some nice but expensive bars) at weekends.
http://www.visitlondon.com/ this is a good website.
The weather is warm but cloudy, London weather is also very unpredictable so bring clothes for all types of weather.
The London Eye is pretty good and you MAY enjoy Madame Toussards. There's loads of nice restaurants and nice bars/clubs, just have a look on the website.
You'll really enjoy yourself, although London is pretty expensive.

Well, it depends on what you like to do. I would suggest you buy a guidebook to help pick the stuff you most want to see. I like the Eyewitness Top Ten guides. They are just $10 and are very small. They give great maps, suggested agendas for various neighborhoods and transport info.

I like to visit the area near Notting Hill Gate and Queensway tube stations. Lots of funky shops, restaurants, visit Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. Its also very close to Oxford Street for shopping and browsing.

If you will be there for a few days I suggest you invest in an Oyster card. Its the cheapest way to travel around. Make sure you take buses as well as the tube... its a great way to see the city!

Have a good trip.

Harrods of Knightsbridge - this is the shopping experience of a lifetime - don't miss it, even if you only buy a cup of coffee.

Well, cos your a tourist, Central London is the place for you.
Try Oxford Street, and, if you like window shopping, Bond Street and Knightsbridge.
A river cruise may be good for you, but avoid the Underground unless your ABSOLUTELY sure where your going.

Have a look at what users of the Enjoy England website have said about their 'Best day out' in London -

Hope you find some great things to do.

The weather is great. If it's your thing, I would advise you to go to Abercrombie and Fitch on Vigo Street - Just off Oxford St. It's got topless models, loud music and great clothes- if a little expensive. Science Museum is always good, as is having a picnic in Hyde Park or taking a trip on an open top tourist's bus... HAVE FUN!!!
