London: have exhausted all the usual tourist sites. Any ideas what we can do?

My parents who are in their 60s are visiting again expecting a great time. I'm stumped what to do with them. We've done all the main attractions: main museums and galleries, buckingham palance, tower of london, the parks, greenwich, the eye, markets, walked most of the areas. We've done Kew gardens, hampton court, windsor, brooklands.

I'm thinking Wisely gardens one day. What about the Churchill War rooms and royal mews? Are they worth a visit?

Any ideas are welcome!! Any London hidden gems lol?

Rather a long way to go for a day trip from London.

One of the more specialised museums like The Geffrye

Do a hidden London walk with a guide really interesting stuff

I went to the Churchill War Rooms about 15 years ago (before it was so expensive) and thought it was excellent
