A London Bucket List...'Maybe you can come too...'

I am going to write something a bit more personal about my feelings concerning my impending eviction from London/UK/Civilisation but right now I want suggestions. More specifically I want your (whoever the hell you are who actually reads this) suggestions of Things Wot To Do Before Leaving London.

I'll consider anything and pretty much will do anything (as long as it is legal!) and I will write about each experience as I go along but of course will only name you if you let me.  Anything to do with food is definitely a plus!

So if you were getting exiled from London; Where would you go? What would you do? Who/What would you see?

Thanks :D

UPDATED (again 24/03/2012):

Some ideas from Twitter - Scoop the jackpot on the Salisbury Pub Quiz.  Walk along the South Bank. Visit a deserted Canary Wharf. Visit a  far away tube stop. Visit the Freud Museum. Take the Ferry Crossing between the Tates. Ride a Boris Bike. Eat at the Japan Centre. Go see a West End play. £4 Bellinis at the Champagne Bar. Steak & cocktails at MeatPeople. Hockney Exhibition. Scott Exhibition at NHM. Lunch at the V&A.

I still want more ideas (esp for food & cocktails!) and people to do them with and preferably kid free.

    Go to The Globe and see some Shakespeare, walk along the river from there to the Oxo Tower for cocktails at twilight. (With me).

    I love to do the walk that Oliver Twist does, arriving in London. Do it from Angel to Hatton Gardens, past the Italian church on Saffron Hill. If you're a complete geek (like me) listen to it on an audiobook on your MP3 player while walking it... http://ali-fantasticreads.blogspot.com/p/london-literary-links.html

    Go and have a picnic with the kids at a quiet place on Hampstead Heath on a sunny spring day. Easy to get to on train, lots of trees to climb, and then after go up parliament hill and look down on the city

    A ghost/history walk or hidden London walk. There are loads of hidden lanes and alleys to be explored. I have a book of London walks (like those you would normally do in the countryside).

    Sit on top of the hill at Ally Pally with a bunch of mates (I hereby volunteer), looking south. Play 'spot the landmark' while drinking a nice bottle of wine or three.
