You might wish to consider Original Londo Walks walking pub tours (look them up on the internet)....I think the walks are now up to 6 quid. The pub walks, one of my favourites is the along the Thames walk, generally go through an area with stops at 3 different pubs. The guide describes the beers served at the pubs and makes suggestions...you spend about twenty to twenty-five minutes at each pub and then continue walking through the area. They are a lot of fun, you meet some interesting people, both other tourists and locals at the pubs, and they are cheap.

For something a bit different, perhaps you would like to attend some of the numerous free lectures in London. For the list, please check: http://victorianresearch.org/lectures.html.

If you will be in London during the times that the Globe theater is staging performances, I highly recommend it. I went out of curiousity, more expecting it to be a tourist trap, and was astonished to the extent I felt I learned something new about theatre.
