Going to London, a lot of the advice I get is too broad or overwhelming. What are the best streets for spending a few hours on?
I like the center of Seven Dials a lot. And Covent Garden in general.
What are you interested in?

Depends what you like.
>Museums
South Kensington has the Natural History Museum, the V&A and the Science Museum all within about 100 yards of each other
>Shops
Oxford Street is a giant tourist hellhole of enormous shops, including a huge Selfridges. Covent Garden has more winding streets with smaller shops
>Cool coffee shops/street food/hipster stuff
Shoreditch has loads of that kinda stuff. I quite like Spitalfields Market for street food.
>World foods
Edgware Road has loads of Arabic restaurants and shisha bars, Tooting and Brick Lane are good for Indian food.
>Music
Brixton and Camden have lots of venues and most nights you can find a gig somewhere. Camden is also pretty good for pubs and cocktail bars, and Camden Lock is a cool (but touristy) street market to have a wonder round, with some cool food places
The national gallery is free and very good

South bank is nice, touristy though especially by the eye. Globe, Tate and Borough market are on the Sount Bank.

This. Just do a circuit of the river. Up The Strand, past St Pauls, Monument, Tower of London, cross Tower Bridge, down South Bank, past Borough Marker, the Golden Hind, Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, walk to Westminster Bridge, cross over, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, down Whitehall, past Downing Street and the Guards, to Trafalgar Square. National Gallery, walk up to Leicester Square and then to Picadilly. Cross Green Park and you're at Buckingham Palace.

If you're going over a weekend have a look round the square mile. It's got some amazing architecture and it's DEAD on the weekends. Avoid oxford street
