Absolute Icebar London
Absolute Icebar is made by the same company that builds the Icehotels in Sweden and Canada. It is open all year round. The bar, glasses, tables, and chairs are all made of ice. There are cool sculptures, and even a video screen of ice. The bar is kept at -5 C 27 F. 12 GBP entrance fee gets you a warm cape and 1 drink. (Vodka or non alcoholic) If you can stand it in there for another drink, it is 6 GBP for another Vodka drink, 3 GBP for non alcoholic. Not cheap but worth the experience. 5 min walk from the piccadilly circus or Oxford street tubes.

Langan's Brasserie
It's in its 30th year - so you know it has to be good! Anglo/French style of cuisine, charming atmosphere and attentive service treats everyone like a VIP. The Brasserie’s Anglo/French menu is hand-written daily includes a large array of starters, main-courses and desserts. The wine list is extensive. Make sure you save room for a desert like ‘Banana Pancakes with Toffee"

Eye, eye, eye
London is expensive but this one is a 6.0 on the Richter scale for admission fees. A step £14.50, included in the price is waiting in line. Pay £25.00 for Fast Track and miss this fun part of the adventure. Besides the high price there is very little to say against the London Eye. It is a work of beauty with its slick design that makes it look like a giant bicycle wheel. One revolution of the wheel takes 30 minutes, the wheel moves so slow that it does not even have to stop to let passengers on or off. On a clear day with short lines it can be worth the trip - the view over London is spectacular. There is a reason why the London Eye is now the most popular tourist attraction in the world, ahead of the Statue of Liberty, the Leaning tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower.

THE CHURCH UK
Every Sunday 12pm-4pm. I think it is the longest club run in London, since 1979. Giant, dark venue that has earned a huge cult following. 7 pounds entrance/ 6 pounds for 3 cans of something in a plastic bag that you can tie to your belt loop. Beer, drink and adult fun fest but is NOT a strip club. MEN/WOMEN RATIO close to 50/50. Very popular with Australians/New Zea landers. Loud and packed. JUST ABOUT ANYTHING GOES. STAGE shows may include striptease, limbo dancers, comedians, audience participant games and just about everything in between. CROWD shows may even be more fun. Costumes welcome. I saw a guy in full body wrestling tights, complete with full mask, who "somehow" was chosen to entertain us with a club-hired strip tease dancer on the stage.
He was getting married and his Aussie friends made him wear it.
I think he touched her and get thrown off the stage. You could also see spacemen with capes and toilet paper roll attachments(seen that), bishops(seen that) and lots of wigs. Halloween all year.Get there early or you could face long lines/no entrance. Wear expendable clothes or come comfortable. Like a wrestler. Follow the congregation afterwards to Red Back bar in Acton and/or DEFINITELY the Walkabout bar at Sheppards Bush Tube. That is where they go, period. Party all night with your fellow church goers.

Vinopolis
Stop at Vinopolis mid-afternoon, do the tour on the history of wine, then enjoy tasting some of their wines. The entire place is unique... the building is an old rail station. The wine bar makes for a nice break between tourist attractions and lines in London. I didn't do it, but they have dining options too.
