Luggage And Bags: Small bag within your backpack or else you will have to check your backpack at most sites. When going out for the day to museums, only take the small bag, and that will save you lots of hassles.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Broken-in walking shoes (broken in BEFORE you leave for the trip!), and make sure they do not look like tennis shoes. I always wear black leather running/walking shoes that serve day and evening attire.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: All prescriptions in their ORIGINAL containers. I also make a copy of them, and place that copy in another location.
Photo Equipment: It's not photo equipment, but you should bring a passport-sized photo of yourself because you will need it if you plan to purchase a travel card for the "Tube".
Miscellaneous: Bring a lightweight pair of binoculars to view the gargoyles, painted ceilings, and statues.
I had an advantage as to what to wear in London because my daughter lived there and gave me tips. Pack "upscale" leisure clothes. If you dress with respect in London, you will be treated with more respect.
