Go the ivy for tea
I wouldn't know anything that's not the ordinary.
I've been 50+ times but mainly just train to euston, tube to bank, walk to office and back'
Know some good bars in the city though

to take your questions in turn...
Covent Garden is full of nice little places. Get a table outside and watch the entertainers
Probably.
Leicester Sq? Cinemas, Burger King, Haagen Daaz again loads more places to eat, a steak house, plus in the middle there's a sort of mini-park with places to sit.

hope you didnt pay for 2 full price tickets, you can get 2 for 1 online.
madame tussauds is pretty shite, but chamber live is a laugh.
tower of london is 'ok'.
london eye is good at night if its clear
zoo is meant to be good, so is the aquarium
id just go for lunch and then a wander round oxford st/ leicester sq/ covent garden/ harrods/ hamleys, then for a couple of drinks in tiger tiger in haymarket. By the time youve done all that itl be home time.
Tube will be fine @ 9pm

Well we got cold and wet but had a great day!
Met up about 11.30 and headed to covent garden
I was soo excited to find amongst other places the David & Goliath shop where i got my boys are stupid souvineer
Then we wandered around leicester square did some lunch them went to madame tussauds (we got the tickets online prior)
really enjoyed it in there, got to go in the big brother diary room and we got the dvd which is funny
headbutted sue in the chamber live kus this freak made me jump!
got some great pics and then headed to westminster to see big ben, london eye and then walked through the park where we saw the big pelicans and some crazy squirrels
waved to the queen then walked to trafalger square
some how ended up back in leicester square about 7.30 so went in some mexican place and then made our way back to kings cross where we sat in a bar til it was time for me to leave for liverpool street
highlight of my day was sitting next to Brendan Cole on the tube
