Even though they don't have much old iron, go see the British museum. Loads of good stuff from the ancient world (pre tractor era). Also take the train to Greenwich and see the international date line, and the museum with has some cool clocks related to maritime navigation. The British national library has a cool rare book room. There is also some cool bookshops near Piccadilly circus (some had old engineering prints, I think they are around haymarket and whitcomb streets). I would also catch a live performance of a musical or play (I recommend the Phantom of the Opera). Other famous attractions: tower of london, changing of the guard, parliment, westminster abbey, st pauls cathedral (climb the dome for good views), millenium farris wheel, buckingham palace, the Banqueting house of Whitehall Palace and many others. I have been to London twice and don't recall running into any farming style museums but I still had a great time, plenty to see, and am waiting to go back again. Make sure you always remember to check BOTH ways before crossing any street (may seem trivial, but you realize it after the first close call). They have less concern about pedestrians. And watch out for pickpockets on the metro (not as much of a concern as Paris but still be mindful)
P.S. One place that I would recommend against going is Herod's unless you like looking at prices and laughing at how much the rich overpay for stuff.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
