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

The organised walks look really good, what about the Olympic area (don't know if here's anything worth visiting). Duck Tours and the Ghost Bus are both quirky. How about a tour on one of the canals, rather than the Thames. There are lots of specialised museums and exhibitions, or head out to Richmond for the day. St Thomas' hospital has a Victorian operating theatre and the ragged school museum are good or history buffs. Have you ever attended the key ceremony at the tower? You need to book in advance but apparently it's free. In the same area you could go inside tower bridge. You could visit the BBC or Ealing studios. I'm sure there's so much that even life long Londoners have never done. Have fun whatever you decide."I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. I TURN UP ONLY ONCE."- Terry Pratchett0

I'm not sure what you'd class as a 'main museum', but there are many smaller ones that you may perhaps not have got to ?
Personally I've enjoyed the Cartoon museum (just around the corner from the British museum) and the Hunterian (in the Royal College of Surgeons).0 -

Indeed! Next time my partners parents come to visit (aged 61 and 63) we're all going to a gig at the O2
If a rock concert isn't for them, have you checked what's on at the Royal Albert Hall? It's a lovely venue and I'd really recommend going if they haven't been already.Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0 -

Why don't they get on the internet and search out some things they'd like to see?0 -

I have to say as a parent, who is not quite in his 60's I don't expect my kids to 'do anything with me' when I visit them.
I just want some quality time with them, I don't want entertaining.
