We have gone to the Globe Theatre a couple of times. Wow. Got seats up in the top section for very reasonable prices (~$20/ea.). They hold performances mainly in the summer, but they also offer tours.

Imperial War Museum is a big hit at our house.

DH did the one-day Stonehenge/Bath tour.

We go to to the Tower of London pretty much every time we visit. Greenwich was a good day trip (we took the boat).

Three summers ago (by pure dumb luck) we were in London in June and went to the parade for the Queen’s birthday. (Her birthday is in April, but they celebrate in June when the weather is glorious.) Could barely see her during the ceremonies, but we happened to be walking alongside the the road back to Buckingham Palace and were able to get close-ups of the Queen, Wills and Henry, etc. Afterwards we wound up where the guests were meeting to go to the Palace, and the morning suits and women’s hats outfits were the kinds of things you just read about.

I left DH and the guys to visit the Tower of London one time and went to Kew Gardens (accessible on the Tube and a nice walk). The photo bug in me was happy. :)
