London on the way to Jordan

I’m leaving on Monday! I have three nights in London, where I am going to see shows with two great travel friends. Krishna (tentmate from southern Africa trip; born in Kenya, lived in Australia, recently moved to London) has booked us to see Matilda, and Nitin (from Patagonia trip; native Londoner who had never hiked before that!) chose Book of Mormon. Nitin is currently between jobs so may join me for some sightseeing also.
I’m staying at Z Hotel in Soho, in the theatre district and looks to be central to everything (location is the most important thing for me). My room is really small, really expensive, ($250), but has complimentary breakfast and wine and cheese!
The number one thing on my list to see is the Tower of London, with museums inside. Outside there is currently an art project with thousands of poppies, representing those killed in the Great War, flowing into the moat. It’s added to each day, with the final day being November 11. After that it will be dismanted and the poppies sold for charity. Pictures of it are stunning.
