Hit up Borough Market on a sunday, then walk the Shad Thames. You'll pass london eye, various bridges and more. At the end of it, you run into the Design Museum. This will take you 2-3 hours depending on how often you stop and stare at things. Lots to see here.

Tate Modern, Borough Market and Design museum on Friday.
Portobello Road Market (Nottinghill) or Camden Market and Primrose Hill on Saturday.
Head to Brick Lane and surrounding area on Sunday.
Just wonder around these areas and you'll come across something that floats your boat.
Check-out timeout on arrival for exhibitions.

If you're looking for stores, Nike 1948 London.

I say it to everyone, but make sure you go to the Sir John Soane Museum. It's free, and it's fucking awesome. Get there early head straight for the picture room and prepare to have your jaw dropped.

Seven dials area in Covent Garden will sort you out for store reference. Pop into Barbican for a nose and to see UVA new exhibit, Momentum. Also walk as many places as you can. Tubes are for chumps.
