Un-touristy things to do in London

I'm planning on taking the current Mrs Django to that there Londinium in October, and whilst no stranger to some of the usual touristy things, we're hoping to do something a little bit different. She knows she's going, but she doesn't know what's planned. Currently on the list: 3 night stay...

...the time has come to enjoy our 5 year anniversary in London. We now have a kid, but she won't be joining us, so although we've been back to London since, this is the first time, for a few nights away, child free.

I'm reaching back out to you guys, to see if there are any "must do's" in our fair Capital, since the last time we parlez'd.

Initial ideas include:
Activities:
Axe Throwing
eKarting
Swingers or Birdies or Junkyard Gold
NQ64
Auschitz Photography (I know how to treat a lady....)
Thames HotTub

Eating:
Barrio Shoreditch
Cucumber alley Covent Garden
Covent Garden Milk Train
Sky Garden
Hansel & Gretle Ice Cream
OXO
Borough Market (ROAST was such a great recommendation we've been multiple times)

Thanks, as always,
