My going to London next week. I’ve seen all the wonderful attractions but need to see any new things. Any suggestions?

Abba Voyage London.
The Alchemist bar, St. Martin's Lane.

- Have you been to the Queen's Jubilee at Westminter Abbey. It was outstanding. Unfortunately you have to buy a ticket to the Abbey to get entrance to the new museum.
- Tickets go on sale soon for the Bayeaux Tapestry Exhibition that starts this Fall at the British Museum. Whoops, just reread your post, you're there next week.
- Is the new London Museum open or is that next year?
- The Frameless Art Museum looks kind of cool.
- A daytrip to Norwich for the newly renovated castle?

The V&A East Storehouse (free admission) opened last May and was a terrific way to spend a few hours with surprisingly interesting displays:

Perhaps going to Hampstead or Richmond appeals. Lots to see and do in both locations.

Maybe give us an idea of what you've already seen because I'm struggling to imagine that you've really seen "all" the attractions :). I've been visiting London for 50 years (and I'll be there next week as it happens), in recent times 3-4 times a year, and I'm certainly yet to see everything.
Also, what interests you? London has literally hundreds of small museums, ranging from the Florence Nightingale Museum to the Freud Museum. Numerous markets, LOTS of parks (not just the big ones), many, many churches big and small (Southwark Cathedral is lovely, for example, and you can even attend a service at the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace), I could go on...
And then there are rhe neighbourhoods: the suggestion above of Hampstead is a good one. Also, while you're a week early for the Chelsea Flower Show, it's worth a walk down the Kings Road - lots of shops have will have floral decorations up. I also like Marylebone for more of a neighbourhood feel.
