Spa and steam room - for about £25 you get several hours' access to an amazing complex of heat treatments - herbal saunas, steam rooms, a caldarium, ice bath, plunge pool, and a lounge room with magazines and herbal teas. An affordable treat. Check Groupon - they have frequent special offers. CHECK online for gendered hours - there are some couples sessions, but mostly the spa is men only or women only. (Note: I have called and left a message asking them about their policy regarding gender-non-binary and trans* individuals, I'm waiting for their reply). The swimming pool upstairs costs a few pounds for one visit.

Iconic north London small theatre. Shows often have their first run here and, if they do well, move on to bigger and more expensive theatres. Check listings and book online.
Medium sized theatre in the pleasant Islington area. Nice to combine with some bar hopping. Check listings and book well ahead.

Huge modern and contemporary gallery housed in a disused power station. Free permanent collection is well worth a look; ticketed major shows are advertised online. You can usually buy a ticket on the day. Check website for other events - shows, lectures, guided tours etc.

Worth visiting for the Turner wing alone, major gallery of British art spanning several centuries. Permanent collection is free. Usually less busy than the Tate Modern or the National Gallery. Take the Tate Boat to the Tate Modern.

If you're a people person or a history buff, this is the art gallery for you. Around the corner from the National Gallery, but smaller and less daunting, and sometimes less crowded. Free permanent collection. Free and ticketed events, too - check website for details.

A nifty museum covering the history of London from the neolithic period onward. Good way to spend half a day, and often less crowded than the other major museums.

Sightseeing

London's iconic ferris wheel, for views across the city. Quite expensive, but for many a tourist must.

One of the nicest of the "big sights" in London, in our opinion. If you're okay with lots of stairs, climb up to the whispering gallery and the dome for views over London. Look out for a very very small window in the floor just below dome level. You can look through it right down to the main cathedral space.

A historical prison for enemies of the state (including rivals to the monarch of the day) with a rather grim museum (but also the crown jewels, if you're into that sort of thing). Ticketed entry.

The Houses of Parliament - where Britain's public services are being sold off one by one. Our prime minister once had sex with a dead pig, but we don't mind because he's rich and he's friends with the man who owns most of our newspapers.

Parks & Nature

London's biggest park, with swimming ponds, a stately home, and loads of space to walk around. Bring a picnic and water - there are no shops on the Heath.

One of London's iconic parks, and home to London Zoo. Good for picnics and dog-spotting, big enough for ball games.
