Be careful where you go out at night, the cities get less and less safe. If with a female avoid easily stolen handbags, wear it under a loose jacket rather than off shoulder, and if on the underground watch bumpers, and thieves, my other half lost a gold necklace, several people I know believe they have been relieved of stuff in packed underground (avoid coming out of work busy times, safer when not so busy) Houses of Parliament, Towerbridge, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Cannot think of any shopping although Harrods, used to be a lovely cake shop opposite. is often of interest to foreign visitors.
If you do Wales visit at least one castle.
I would check out Stamford if not too difficult it or some other older towns are still reasonable, and have olde English buildings helping lift them form the decimated shopping areas. google and see if it appeals.
Do try fish and chips.and if adventurous mushy peas, go gentle with the vinegar if you have not tried it before lol. Try some on the edge first.
And pub prices may make you faint but choose an old inn for atmosphere, avoid the ones in towns and cities, ones in villages that have survived Covid tend to be much better options.
Check the weather, there is a lot of flooding in places.
Hope you have a great time.
but I do not think school would have appreciated the metal one.
