Luggage And Bags: Bring a handbag with you that is discreet and also I highly recommend extra zippers.
I carried a simple black leather bag, and it didn't attract attention at all.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Rain jackets are a must, as are umbrellas! For shoes, I recommend comfortable shoes that you can walk in (save the high heels for short nights out). If you want to stick out and have a big "TOURIST" sign over your head at all times, tennis shoes are great. However, if you want to make an attempt at looking local, a smart pair of comfortable and attractive leather shoes will be great.
Photo Equipment: A simple digital camera will allow you to take a larger number of better quality photos.
Miscellaneous: I suggest dressing nicely while in London, simply because the locals do. I have found the the people who dress sloppy and stick out are the tourists. It is easy to pick out tourists (ball caps, blue jeans, tennis shoes, backpacks) I honestly feel it's safer to dress nicely and try to fit in with the locals.
