Luggage And Bags: Bring a day pack. Something relatively small, preferably that goes over your head and one shoulder (not a purse...). I brought a smallish old navy messenger bag, and it's worked quite well.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I was told (by an Englishman) to bring an umbrella... and although it has drizzled a bit, I haven't used it yet.....
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Bring lots and lots of bandaids. Even if you plan on using public transportation most of the time, your feet will go through some wear and tear, especially if you are not used to walking a lot.
Photo Equipment: I brought my camera, and 17 rolls of film..... but my camera is now waterlogged, and I have no camera..... So, I suppose my best suggestion would be to bring a ziploc to carry your camera in (if you want something very light), but a small camera bag if you prefer.
Miscellaneous: Ziploc Bags. Ziploc bags are wonderful. They are lightweight, and you can put a lot in them..... souvenir train tickets, brochures, etc. or toiletries. or makeup. or keep your soap in a ziploc, so you don't get soap on everything. Also, I suggest bringing wipies. The kind you can buy in a package of 80 at wal mart for about $1.20. That anti-germ gel stuff is probably a bit lighter to lug around, but wipies can double as napkins, and can clean bird poop off a bench, etc. And, you can put two or three wipies in a ziploc to take around with you in your smallish bag. Trust me.... after a ride on the tube holding onto a sticky hand rail, you are going to want a wipie.
