Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Only bring the basics. Shopping in London is fun. Spend an afternoon on Oxford Street or head to Camden Market to pick up whatever clothing items are needed. You can find some great items to bring back as presents as well.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Anything can be found in an English pharmacy(called Chemist here) that can be found in the USA. The staff are very helpful. Don't bring an entire medicine cabinet with you. There are several discount chemists found on most major high streets. High Street is the equivalent to American Main Street, the main shopping drag.
Photo Equipment: Film is expensive, actually all electronics. Buy disposable cameras in the USA, they are at least half the price than in England.
Miscellaneous: Buy a London A-Z (pronounced A to Zed) so you won't wander aimlessly, though not a bad way to see London ;-)
