    What about Spitalfields Market?  I'd be looking for a bit to eat for lunch before heading home and I see that's close to Liverpool Street.
    Or Borough Market on the southside of London Bridge. If the weathers good simply walk along the river, nothing cheaper than that. Plenty of scope to grab a beer and eats along the way

    Spitalfields is great if you want to shop... Not so much for free stuff though.

    I was more soo thinking of going there for a bite to eat for lunch, before heading off home on the train.

    I wouldn't really bother for that either - whilst there is more choice than the station, the chains still dominate

    Borough market has a better offering in terms of a market / indy vibe.

    Looks like the Sky Garden is fully booked for that Sunday.

    I'm quite into science and technology if that's any help.
    I’d recommend the science museum then

    Science museum would be an obvious choice and is free. Expect to queue as with all the free museums it attracts families. You could try and beat them and get there early but there will still be a queue.

    I've not been to the science gallery that might be worth taking a look at in case it floats your boat.

    The Science Museum has two queues, one for pre-booked tickets and the second for those without tickets, but that's basically just a 'holding area' where people get their pre-booked ticket on their mobiles and are then admitted.....
