What are the top tips for travelers to London?

Get buses everywhere so that you have a great view of all sorts of places. Top deck of a bus will allow you to see so much more than the same place at street level.

I would say ...go elsewhere.

Moderator's note:
Posts like this one, from new members, have a nasty habit of being followed by spam, so this thread (and others from Tushar123) are being monitored.

However, if this is a genuine question, please re-post in Travel and provide far more detail about what you're interested in. For example, there are around 250 museums and galleries in London, and roughly the same number of theatres, so it's hard to know what to point you towards unless we know what you're interested in.

You beat me to it Talbot ;-/

Same goes for any major city.

Get the number 11 bus from Liverpool Street Station.
It starts there so you have a good chance of getting the front seats at the top.
It goes past lots of well known places. Bank of England, Fleet Street, St Paul's, Downing Street, Whitehall, Parliament Square and more besides.

Try to avoid doing any travelling, especially in the Underground, during rush hour.
Buy a cheap compass. You only need to know roughly which is north, and where you are going in relation to it.
As you may have read, we are having a rash of phone thefts, so only use you phone in a cafe, shop etc, rather than on the street.

Walk everywhere you can. It’s such an amazing city that there are things to see in every street and square.
Start in the ‘centre’ - Trafalgar Square, and move outwards from there.
To keep prices down, buy a sandwich lunch in Marks and Spencer’s or Boots, and eat it in one of the parks.
Try and do a riverboat trip. Seeing the city from another perspective is amazing.
But above all, don’t try to do everything. Save something for a return trip.
Enjoy.
