I'm doing exactly the same 
Heading down Thur morning, going back Sun.
I've never been before for pleasure, we're going to the Sea Life Center, National History Museum and London Eye (kerr-ching!).

If it's a nice day, take a boat trip from Westminster Pier - you'll get to see the London Eye, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, MI5 offices and more in one fell swoop. The London Eye is also a must see.
Eating/Drinking wise, head towards Leicester Square/Piccadilly Circus. Avoid the more obvious places and stroll a few streets back into Chinatown - there's a multitude of fantastic restaurants there.
For drinks, The Old Surgeon (just off Leicester Square, its on the street behind the big casino on the square) or Waxys (labrythine Irish pub - O'Neills on steroids).
Or head to Covent Garden for the cafes and street entertainers. Avoid the Punch and Judy as it's a tourist hellhole and go to the Maple Leaf (street behind Pizza Hut) or the Porterhouse - both are quality establishments.
If you still have time, Camden Town is worth a look, or take a stroll around Hyde Park itself.

Yes i saw some of these last month, recommended, even if they try to massively guilt-trip you into giving them money at the end.

Its not worth it, but then again I can say that as I've tried it.
You put on stupid coats and stand in a literal ice bar for about 30mins, you get two 'cocktails' which are basically not much more than a shot glass measure at the most served in a block of ice - for £15 - may have gone up.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone tbh.
