    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Have a look at the London Walks pages - they offer very reasonably priced guided walks for different bits of London. 

    Lots of cheap noodle bars around the back street of China Town and Leicester Square - if you look off the main trails, you are more likely to find good cheap eats. You could also head further out to Brick Lane for excellent curry at better than Central prices. 

    Get a one day travel card and have a go on the buses - lots to see and you can jump on and off as you see things to investigate. To be honest, I'd do the Tower of London before the Eye. The Eye is nice, but you get a lot more at the Tower (you can get a block ticket to do the Tower Bridge experience too) If you have a travelcard, you may be able to use the 2.4.1 deal. 

    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....
