WWII buff: all things related to the military; Dover; Canterbury; Salisbury; Tintagel; etc.
Arty, bookish friends: the reading room at the V&A -- ask to see/handle the Constable portfolio and the Milne portfolio; Charing Cross Road; Oxford and Bond Streets; Stratford; Oxford, specifically the Bodleian library.
Plus the usual suspects: the Tower, Kensington, Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, the National Galleries, etc. Also, Harrod's and Fortnum & Mason.
All of the recommendations are things I would like to do...but my visit will be short, so I need to whittle the list down. I've decided on one trip outside of London proper, to Bath. Planning to visit Wimbledon, and probably I'll do the big touristy things like Big Ben and The Eye but the rest I need (this weekend!) to plot out using a map and guidebook.
