You can spend a whole day(s) just wandering around Shoreditch, eating, drinking and so many good shops etc.
Avoid all the obvious tourist traps apart from the big galleries which are all amazing. Tate Modern a must.
London has so many amazing small districts - hours of fun and culture to be had. So worth going off the beaten track a bit.
If you like record shopping - Phonica Records in Soho is amazing (but this isn't off the beaten track at all so I have just contradicted myself)
Covent Garden has some nice shops but a bit touristy. Can walk from Covent Garden to Soho easily.
Also - get the tube everywhere - don't do taxis - you will save a fortune.
I much prefer East London so a bit biased and yes it is a little hipster but just so much good stuff to be found.
Liverpool St Station is a good location to get to and then explore. Spitalfields Market can be interesting and then Shoreditch nearby.
Too much to say really. Amazing city.- And Borough Market as was said below.fadein11
