I found London very friendly to navigate on foot, in the tube or by the Open-Top Tour Buses. The latter are quite nice, as then generally stop at the places a tourist wants to see. The Tube is not quite up to the Moscow Subway system or the Paris Metro, but quite user-friendly, once one gets accustomed to the strange pronunciation used for some of the stops, like Southwark.
The museums and galleries are great. I especially like the British Museum and the British Library. The Tate Modern had nasty "art," but a 7th floor restaurant with excellent fish and chips and a view to die for.
