i am going to London after almost 20 years and i have no idea as to what to do or see. Any ideas?

Where have u been before? because no one understand what u mean here O!??

Well depends on the kinda things you like
I'd suggest the following
National Gallery/Trafalgar Square
Leicester Square
Go clubbing( They have quite a few nice ones in Central London. I went to Abacus once and it was interesting )
Westminster Abbey( Beautiful I tell ya)
London Eye( Get a view of the whole city. Buy your ticket ahead of time that way you save a bit )
Go to Brixton/Peckham to see your Nigerian folks there.lol
Piccadilly circus/Oxford Circus( Visit high street shops)
Go to Curtty Stark to see the Greenwich meantime. It is free too
Visit 805 to have the famous Monika fish
Mama Calabar in Wembley has some nice chop too
Stamford Bridge if you are a Chelsea fan or  head over to see Arsenal folks too if you wanna.
St Paul's Cathedral

thank you your answer is really helpful

What sorts of things are you interested in?

London is a very varied city and most trips can be tailored to suit your preferences.

If you enjoy the arts for instance then there loads of art museums. Science museums etc all free too. Then there is theatre land with live shows such as Oliver Twist (which I have yet to see) and the Lion King which encompasses an all Black cast. Truly a magnificent show!

If you like sport then football season is starting soon and you should be able to see some live games at Wembley. Then there is alslo Lords for cricket if you like that sport.

Check out of the O2 too to see if any of your favourite acts will be coming to town. World class Stars like Whitney Houston, Alicia, Keys, Beyonce and Prince often grace the stage there. There is also a smaller venue in the O2, Indigo2 where some Nigerian stars and comedians play to packed houses.

The list is endless.

^^^ thanks for the response
i am more into museums, land marks, and cool places to eat and drink that is unique to London. I don't mind clubs either
The thing is I'm only going to be there for 5 days and i want to pack as much as possible into those 5 days and leave feelings like i saw things and be willing to come back for a longer visit.

thanks again

^^^ Yeah everything written here should keep you busy . Don't forget to eat some fish and chips

yea put some vinegar and extra salt on it 

Just hope for a good weather, in fact just get a pocket umbrella _{at least}

-Book some stadium tour

-don't forget Nelson's Ship in a Bottle; Trafalgar square

-too many things to do, just depends on your taste

if your into clubbing go to the soho bar/club where all the rich people go eg footballers, there are other football clubs like tottenham, west ham. i lived in london all of my life the list is endless!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to you all i appreciate all your responses see you all next week (not literally)

Make sure you change enough British Pound cos the tickets to enter all these tourist spots like museums, National Gallery and Madam Tussaud ain't cheap. Enjoy your holiday!

Actually you can book and pay for some of them before you get there, pay online get your references and tickets online ready

Entrance is free unless you decide to donate some money.

^^^ Sorry Chika
Didn't mean to mislead. I remember many years ago when I visited London, I actually paid to enter some of these places. I'm sure of that. But I guess it's free now. Lucky Omega!

^^^ That's alright. Although they would want you to pay when you try to get into some parts of it. Mostly free.
Sure the poster is already there having fun! Lucky bugger

Cheers!
Have a good day, Chika.

"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, "

Yeah time difference can be a pain. . it takes me more than a week to adjust.
Glad you had fun. . If you don't mind what did you end up getting up to there?
Did you visit any of the museums or art galleries
