For our late September trip, what London attractions do we need to we book in advance? (We've already visited the Tower, Churchill War Rooms and Westminster Abbey.) Thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Buckingham Palace & Gardens Tour, which runs through Sept 29, if you have interest. Be sure and check for tickets on the official site of the Royal Collection Trust, as when you do a google search, a lot of 3rd parties sites pop up, and it's easy to confuse them.

Are you interested in the Ceremony of the keys at the Tower of London?

I believe you can pre-book timed entry to the (free) British Museum now. That should get you into a shorter security line.
As I'm sure you know, most of the major museums in London are free, but they often have good special exhibitions for which timed tickets are necessary. Some of those are very popular and can sell out days in advance, so it's smart to check the websites of museums related to topics you're interested in to see whether there's an exhibition you want to see.
If there are specific, relatively popular plays you want to see, I'd get tickets a bit ahead of time. Twice I've missed out on a play because the tickets that were available 7 to 10 days out were all gone by the time I got around to trying to buy them a day or two ahead of time.
