GO TO STONEHENGE. There's a really neat audio tour and the whole thing is just really awesome. It has been my experience that most people (okay, my family and one other girl) don't think it's going to be great until they get there, and it is.
Oxford is really cool too if you're going to be anywhere near there. There's a really neat little sheet music shop called Blackwell - if you want some music or music-related stuff, go there!
In London, make sure you do the Natural History and British Museums at a minimum, and the Tower if you've got time. I think Lush stuff might actually be a bit cheaper even after the currency conversion. Check out the sci-fi shop Forbidden Planet - it's over Picadilly way, and has a *very good* collection of books and comics, not to mention other things. Like, Buzzy Bee x 1000. The prices are about the same as NZ once converted, but the range is worth it.
Uh...there'll be stuff I'm forgetting, I know. I'll try and remember.
