Anyone been to London that has any recommendations of fun things to do, nice places to eat that aren't a small fortune, or any other tips? I will be there for a week at Thanksgiving.
We have most of the trip planned already, but figured I'd ask.

Pick a tube station below, nearby stuff that I liked...
FUN:
Waterloo Station
District/Circle Line, Tower Hill
Northern Line, Camden Town
Picadilly Line, Knightsbridge
Picadilly Line, Hyde Park Corner
Central Line, Queensway
District/Circle Line, Bayswater
Central Line, White City
FOOD:
Chainy stuff:
(also tons of locations, but if you're up by the Camden Locks, there's one nearby)
Not chainy stuff:
Ask absinthea, I forget where it is.
Plus, you can eat at certain pubs, but it gets pricey. You shouldn't eat at a pub every day.
Eating on the cheap:
absinthea and I grab lunch food on the go. Tesco, Sainsbury, and M&S have "Metro", "Express", "Local", etc. versions where you can pick up ready-made sandwiches and salads, crisps, bottles of water by the litre, and yoghurts (you'll need to go to a bigger location to get the clotted cream yoghurts, though)
You can eat at any of the American embassies too (BK, McD's, KFC) just to say you did. It does taste a bit different. And remember, all the Coca-Cola and Pepsi products are made with REAL SUGAR, not high fructose corn syrup. Mmmm...SUGAR.
Don't forget your drug stores!
There should be a Lush store in Victoria Station too, if you're coming in through Gatwick and taking the Express...
When I think up some more stuff, I'll let you know.
